Description: Super Silver Age Superman Comic Bundle! 3 Classics #157, #160, #162 by DC Comics, 12 Cent. Circa (1962-1963). Some Great Story Lines & Art in These! Condition Estimates and more noted below. Very Hard to Find ones in a nice bundle like this. Pretty Nice Key Silver Age Comics from DC Comics, getting harder to find. All comics are complete, and firmly attached. No major damage noted, no cut outs, torn interior pages or pen/pencil marks. See Below & View all pictures & Video. 1.) Issue #157, Nov 1962, 12 Cent, Featuring "The SUPER REVENGE of the PHANTOM ZONE PRISONER!" Supergirl & Legion appearances & 1st appearance Quex-UI. Curt Swan & George Klein cover, Curt Swan & Al Plastino Art. Solid comic, firmly attached, nice color & images, pages O/W pages & some darkening to interior cover. There is some moisture dimpling along left of front cover along spine going from 1-3" across front cover, but otherwise colors are strong & it looks fairly sharp. The moisture does not transfer to interior pages & they are nice with good images & print. Without the moisture dimpling this would have likely been an 8.0-8.5, but we still give it a 6.5. 2.) Issue #160, April 1963 12 Cents, "WHEN SUPERMAN LOST HIS POWER". Not sure why (?), but very few of these have shown up much over a low grade. Really puzzling. Anyway, the comic has a very nice appeal with really strong colors, images & original sheen to cover, but there is a spine roll & moderate handling wear to cover. Small moisture stain at bottom cover interior, pages are O/W but pretty nice. Small spine split at bottom cover. We would give this a 6.0 to 6.5 (F to F+), you may be able to flatten the spine roll a bit and comic would be more in the 7.0 range. 3.) Issue #162, 12 Cent, July 1963, "The AMAZING STORY of SUPERMAN-RED and SUPERMAN-BLUE!". Neat Cover art by Kurt Schaffenberger, Curt Swan & George Klein art. Very sharp comic looks like an 8.5 with great graphics, color, print, solid flat spine & good original sheen, but has some small tears at top border & tanning to inside cover & 1/8" split at bottom spine. Pages are really nice but a tinge O/W. Still should be a 7.5 VF-. Copies of this comic at this approximate grade have brought $150 to $225 alone, great to have in bundled combo. Please look at the video and all pictures and use zoom feature if needed. You can judge for yourself by pictures taken on condition and grade (see comments below). Let us know if you have questions. When offering an opinion on a comic's grade or condition, we try to utilize the more accepted and common grading standards used by professional grading services with a somewhat conservative lean. In addition, we try to detail the overall condition of a comic, including interior pages along with the cover. Likewise, we try to show multiple interior page photos to further assist you in determining what you feel a comic's condition and value may be. Finally, we always suggest that buyers use their own opinions on grading and value and not our own. While we have never had a legitimate complaint on our descriptions of comics or other collectibles, antiques and other items we sell, we are not perfect. We try to start our auction (or priced) listings below reasonable market value based on our observations & sales information (price guides & online sales) available, but we know all people are free to judge as they feel is correct. Note also, occasionally comics may be selling higher or lower than guide values due to market changes, death of artists, film releases or other factors. All value is ultimately determined by what buyers are willing to pay, based on their opinions. 95% of our Comics are sold as part of a private collection amassed by a consignor covering 40 years of 1940's-1980's comics. Over 1,000 #1's or 1st Issues coming as time goes by. Collector focused on #1's. This is a consignor & not our own collection. Many from his collection have been bagged and put away for over 30 years. We have already sold over 300 #1's including the X-Men #1 (1963), Iron Man #1, Aqua Man #1, Archie #1, Peanuts #1, Mickey Mouse #1, Captain America #1, lots of 1950's TV Genre #1's and dozens more #1 Super Heroes, rare War Comics, Disney, Sci-Fi, Horror, Super Scarce Goldies, and other. We will keep listing as time allows and we are just scratching the surface. Let us know if you have questions. We can (and do) bundle comics for discounts & shipping savings as well. If you buy more than one comic or items and would like bundled shipping, let us know prior to paying. This allows us to invoice you and properly insure items & saves you quite a bit on shipping. If you buy only one comic, just pay & we will get your comic on the way to you. We ship quickly & with great care. Comics will be bagged, boarded & double boxed for protection & fully insured. We do not require signature upon delivery on comics above $100 unless you request it or if it is required by shipping service due to value. Comics above $1,000 will be shipped FedEx for insurance purposes. We ship Priority International to Canada unless otherwise requested. This was a recent buyer's feedback: "Great packaging. Easy fast shipping and transaction. Best packing I've ever seen." We ship with extreme care! Of course there is free local pick up and we can meet to assist if you are near Indianapolis or driving through. We do this often. We do not require signature confirmation on most items above $100, unless you request otherwise. Also, we have discounts with FedEx & eBay on shipping which do not always show up in eBay estimates on shipping. We try to refund what we can when there is a notable difference, but we do not know until we actually run shipping. Please follow our store if you love rare antiques, primitives and collectibles of many types. We scour the land for the rarest and neatest of items for our Buyers who love them.
