CKB

Kudos to ckb for some steals on slabbage! Awesome to work with!

Thanks and back atcha.

I'll chime in with Funnies 57 / Captain Midnight 1. There was a time where these early radio tie-ins were a much bigger deal. I believe Funnies 57 used to make Overstreet's top 20 GA book list.

Wow, forgot to pump my GA Funny Book thread here! I'm open to offers.

Here's a link so you don't have to dig it up off of page 14:

Also, after a number of failed attempts at starting my own website, I've decided to list my entire Golden Age inventory on eBay. I've put about 150 pre-code Crime books in my store this week and there are more to come. Feel free to make me an offer or ask for questions or better scans there or here.

Thanks for looking.

I sold a nice book on eBay today! (Big thanks to the buyer if he is a board member)

I hope that no one is offended by a little advert, but I think I have the perfect product, already in hand.

 

It's the Ultra Pro Comic Stor Rigid Sleeves

They stopped making them, but I was able to get the remaining stock.

They have been selling like crazy for me.

It's clear on both sides, and is much thicker than a mylar.

It keeps a comic in nice shape, and does not need a backing board.

It has a flap, that seals the comic without tape by tongue-in-groove.

I only have them in Current size.

 

 

Here's a link if you want ordering information.

My opinion: I have had books damaged by these holders and will not use them. The flap and the piece that tucks have left impressions on the books behind them when they are tightly packed. I had a number of books that were not CGC worthy only because they were stored in this manner.

So, if you are going to use these, put a board between each book in the box, or make sure they are not tightly packed.

Again, my opinion.

You know, this idea really boils down to having a clear mylar bag that is stiff enough that it does not require a board. "Build it into the bag" idea.

The closest thing I've seen to this is a thing called a "toploader", which has hard sides, but it does not hold the book snugly enough.

Oops, forgot about the CGC case. It fits the bill....

A book I got at the same time I bought the Weird book...

 

Never expected to win this, but somehow I did:

Been trying to get a decent copy for awhile now. Do you think the RH stamp was a big turn-off?

Listed 115 Golden Age war books on eBay, no reserve most under $10. End Sunday.

Thanks to Chris (ckb) for a well priced Spectre 3 & 5! Packaged like a Shermann Tank.

 

Thanks! I try to make sure buying experiences are not aleatoric.

 

(I don't know what it means either.)

I'm embarrassed to admit that I had to look that up in my nearby Oxford... very appropriate.

Kudos to Buck and CKB for some nicely grade silver and bronze!

Boy, those got there quick. Kudos back atcha.

Greetings everyone.

I've been posting in the marketplace about putting my Golden Age inventory on-line here:

http://webpages.charter.net/ckb/BooksForSale.html

I've got tabs in the bottom left for War, Humor, Charlton, ACG, Harvey and PMI/True. A large number of these books are pre-code. I'm still adding to the "humor" list, but you will find a lot of highly esoteric stuff there.

Let me know if I can help anyone out.

Thanks for the help, Phoenix. If you are just uploading a scan that a member has already linked in this thread, it's OK to use the library thread for that purpose. Just to avoid the empty posts here - they don't matter much in the library thread.

I'm going to get off my butt soon and get some of the book I have in the list as well.

Last time I heard someone get called 'obtuse' they got 30 days in the hole...
