Item Description

Sandman complete set VF- WHITE PAGES! #1-75 + most error issues + bonus one-shots 1989-1996; Raw, bagged and boarded.

Includes one-shots Sandman Special and Orpheus (with glow-in-the-dark cover).

Every error and variant issue (except #8 Karen Berger editorial variant. Sorry, that one's not for sale).

#18 blue ink error variant is VERY RARE and comes CGC graded and slabbed (9.2). The first 3 frames are printed with blue ink instead of yellow, valued at over $1000

#19 error variant has pages 18 & 19 switched.

#50 variant is a different, black cover celebrating the 50th issue.

#75 2nd printing is also very rare (it was only rumored to exist for several years until they started turning up)

THE CATCH: I am not a professional grader, but I tried to research CGC grading and did my best to estimate their condition. I took close-up pics of each comic, but I couldn't upload that many. Please feel free to ask for more pics. Mainly, the comics just had loss of color along the spine. No creases, no tears (except #8 has a small hole in the cover less than 1cm wide), no writing. A few could be pressed and improve their grade because they bubble out at the spine, and a couple are starting to show signs of a staple migration. A few had tiny scuff marks on the back cover. A couple had small horizontal spine ticks less than 1/4" long.

Most of the comics' pages are still bright white, a few are off-white. No tanning at the edges. All original posters are still attached to the spine inside the books, just like when purchased new. Most covers are still glossy. On average, the collection is probably VF to VF-. That's average; which means a few are VF/NM and a few are FN+ to FN, but a lot are within the VF guidelines.

They've been packed in acid-free bags & boards the entire time I've owned them. A lot have been read once, some never read. Taking the pictures is the first time I've taken them out of their packaging.

I have more comics by Neil Gaiman that I will be selling, and I have multiple copies of most of these issues, so feel free to contact me if you're looking for something in particular or only want a few issues to complete your collection.
