Hmmm, kinda funny, I have a bagged green edition unless you mean
there is no such thing as a bagged UPC version...

Anyways, originally there were no unbagged green editions sold.
The ones you see are just openned bagged ones.

I have the following sets of comics that I would like to sell as separate  
sets.  I would rather not sell them by individual issues since that will 
cause too much work for me and also because I am interested in cleaning out 
my collection a bit so I can walk around in my room without having to step 
over boxes full of comic books.  I have quoted the prices from the December 
issue of Wizard (which we all know are overpriced) and am asking for about 
60 to 65% of that price.  However, feel free to make me an offer LESS THAN 
the amount I am asking for.  We can work out the shipping cost in our 
negotiation. 

I have several more sets of comics that I would like to sell and will 
post them here as soon as they are organized.

Anyway, most of the profit will be going toward purchasing the textbook 
for the next quarter. 
  

SET 1. ANIMAL MAN 1-5, 7-41    
       Price from WIZARD: $147.25

Did it seem to anyone else like the story had probably been re-written?

I mean, for Magnus 0, it was by Shooter, and had obviously been written 
before the current Magnus issues (about 8-10). I'm digressing, though.

This is by David Lapham, not Shooter.  I realize Shooter is not with 
Valiant any longer, but Rai 0 was credited to him.  I doubt he would 
have let David Lapham write this. Also, the cover date is 1992.
I'd have to pull my (sendoff) Magnus 0 out to check, but I believe the date
here (if there was one) was correct for the time it would have been
written.

All in all, I was disappointed.  Of course, I've been disappointed in 
the Harbinger series for a while now.

I've been buying back issues from J&S Comics (Comics Plus is the name
of thier retail outlet) in Red Bank New Jersy for over three years with hardly
any problems.  Well at the end of Sept. I ordered almost $175 worth of books
fropm them and the owner, Jim, said that it would take about a month to ship 
them out.  I expected this due to the nature of the order (1000 misc. comics),
and said okay.  Three weeks later, I added another $50.00 worth of books to the
order.  At that time Jim told me that it would still be a week or two before
everything got shipped out.  Three weeks after this, I called to see if 
my order had been shipped out, and I got the run around.  Finally they said
that my stuff would be shipped out the week of Thanksgiving.  I found out that
the stuff was supposedly shipped Nov. 27th, but I still haven't seen it. 
(UPS takes 4 days to get a package to me that they send.)  Now to the resaon
I'm posting:  I called last Wed. and they guy who answered said that Jim 
would be in Fri. "To answer all of the mail order questions."  Friday I called
all day, and the line was busy untill 6pm when noone answered.  Today (Sat)
I started calling when they opened, and the line is now busy again.  Up
untill now, I had every confidance in them, because I've spend 3 or 4 thousand
dollars with them in the past.  But now I'm wondering if the store is going
under.  Has anyone else had any problems with them in the last few months?

Not good, not good at all.  Spiderman 2099 had a large print run
and wasn't as good as I thought it would be.  Nice cover though.

Ravage 2099 was the sorriest excuse for a comic book.  I don't 
expect this series to last very long.

Doom 2099 will probably flop like Rage

Punisher 2099 - Well, I don't know, have to wait and see when it comes out.

My source could be wrong or have some of the info exaggerated, so I put
a disclaimer on this info: read at your own risk.

If my sources are not mistaken (and they might be), Overstreet bought
Comic Book Marketplace (I think they were loosely related to begin with
anyway), and will be publishing a quarterly update on Silver and Golden Age
books only with articles on such books, etc. They have "fired"(?) Jon Warren
who was pushing to compete with Wizard by publishing monthly. I guess the
Overstreet people decided that they have had enough with these new books and
all these polybagged price guides with cards and other hype. Their market
is vintage comic collectors and this is I guess who they are targetting. Anyway
anyone who collects Pre-1968 comics uses Overstreet anyway and most people who 
buy new comics use Wizard, so I don't see how this will change anything.

It had less pages.  16 pages compared to the normal 24.  Extra-bulky and 
sturdy cover to hide it.  
Regular page dimensions.

I dunno.  I just expected more.
