Ok that will be it I think for the slabbed portion of the program, I do plan to add to this thread this week with some selected raw books, stay tuned for that, and many thanks to everyone for having a look 

Robert: Are you no longer a collector of Fantastic Four books? I'm just gob-smacked at what you're offering for sale here in this thread.

This thread is off to a roaring start!

Nice books, Robert.

Thank-you Jim, for two very nice comics, tightly graded and securely packaged, shipped like lightning to Canada.

I was so very pleased with the transaction and I hope to buy from you again.

Multiple thumbs up!

Yeah, I know how it ends, but it's the journey that counts, not the destination.

I heard -- and perhaps it was only the voices in my head -- that this cover is actually a swipe of a classic golden age comic cover. Does any one have any knowledge of what comic this cover might be based on?

Lovely silver age Marvels, Robert!

Good luck with the sales thread . . .

Claudio is one heck of a conservative grader. His books were gorgeous on arrival, securely packed, quickly shipped. I'm very happy with my purchases and happy to have become one of his customers. Looking forward to his next sales thread.

Bravo!!

Thor 133 and Thor 134

Crassus (Robert) has received ten pages of positive kudos over the years. Wow. What a super-hero of a seller.

I just received six silver and bronze age books from him.  Perfect packaging, fast to ship, fun to communicate with,  and super-strictly graded comics received.

I guess that explains the TEN pages of positive kudos from his fellow boardies.

Thanks Robert! Happy Holidays!

Excellent seller, excellent packaging, have done many deals with Jeff. Never a worry, the books are always great!

Many thanks Chris, and great pickup 

Thanks Robert.

But after you said "This will be a short thread of raw SA and BA Marvels. I'm almost out of my financial hole, but then I just keep diggin'...besides saving money is boring..."

I see you're digging a hole over at electricprune's romance thread tonight. Does your wife know?
