mysterio

Ok, I think I should be able to get to the Four Colors today, and maybe the WDCS either later this evening or tomorrow. Four Color #147 Poor (cf out) -- asking $25 + shipping (1/4 of OSPG 2.0) Barks art. Book is rough, but is an example. Centerfold appears to be missing (according to my research at Comics.org). "Volcano Valley" story is 26 pages instead of 30, other stories are intact. Cover is detached but holding together at spine, though fragile. Two remaining center wraps are detached, some tattering to edges but fully readable.

Pogo Possum #9 VG -- asking $15 + shipping Everything is firmly attached at both covers, tiny bit of spine roll, light general wear.

Pogo Possum #5 G/VG -- asking $15 + shipping Just a touch more wear around the edges than the previous book, but still quite solid and a pleasure to read.

Pogo Possum #4 VG -- asking $20 + shipping Very solid, everything well attached at both staples. Bit of a spine roll. Paper is very supple.

Young Romance #61 (Vol. 7 #1) G/G+ -- asking $15 + shipping Cover is barely attached at both staples, centerfold is attached at both a bit more firmly. Worst defect is the chipping at bottom spine of the back cover, no art or story is affected.

Word is that ticket sales were 40% higher than last year.

Sweetheart Diary #13 G -- asking $9 + shipping 1/2" split to top spine, and about a 1" spine split to first few wraps on the inside. Otherwise everything is well attached. Love the tattoo-esque date stamp.

At least there is no overlap with Planet or C2E2...

Lassie #1 G/G+ -- asking $20 + shipping Very solid copy with nice eye appeal for the grade. Cover barely hanging on at top staple, centerfold attached at both. Book was pressed to correct a bit of a spine roll.

Wambi, Jungle Boy #12 Fr/G -- asking $15 + shipping The only Fiction House in the collection, but it is an uncommon one. Cover is detached, with a fair bit of splitting along spine, but covers are still attached to one another. Several edge chips and tears, with a 1/4" square piece of tape applied to a right edge tear on the inside of the front cover. Book is complete, centerfold is attached at both staples. Some tears to first wrap but it too is attached and complete.

A Date with Judy #36 VG -- asking $20 + shipping Another solid book with cover and centerfold well attached. Minor edge chipping, short tear to right edge, and some darkening to middle front cover. Might be humidity from being in a stack? Doesn't appear to be traditional moisture, and book is still flat and reasonably fresh.

Super Duck #63 VGish -- asking $10 + shipping Everything well attached, minor chipping to edges of covers, dust shadows to back cover. Excellent color and gloss, decent pages.

Beautiful book!

May help the eye appeal by eliminating/reducing some of the rippling, but it won't help the technical grade.

Welcome to my latest sales thread. These books were selected from a recent collection buy. They are generally a bit lower grade, but solid. Shipping will be paid by the buyer to your actual location, maximum of $10 within the US. International buyers are welcome, and will pay shipping to your location with no maximum. Payment via Paypal, checks, or MOs are welcome. Paypal only from international buyers. Returns on raw books are always welcomed. If it is a simple disagreement on grade return shipping is on the buyer, if I missed something material return shipping is on me. Will be adding books for a day or two, so feel free to start a stack. Here is the first book to start me off and hold the space, I will be back in a bit to get the thread started in earnest. Henry Aldrich Comics #14 G/VG -- asking $5 + shipping Solid enough copy, some minor tanning to inside covers and page edges with some minor edge chipping. 1/4" bug chew on spine, cover and centerfold both firmly attached.

Home Page A bit under a year away, Mark your calendars! Glad to see that it is nowhere near either C2E2 or Wondercon next year, much better scheduling.

Ok, one of the QC invoices flipped to shipped/safe this morning so I got my answer. for the second.

Quick question to those that have had experience... Its a show day for CGC, so technically not a “business day”. I’ve got two invoices in QC at least two days. Does the QC/shipping department work on a con Friday? Or should I do something else with my day besides endless refresh?

Enjoy the show! Still waiting on pics...

Too bad it’s a Sunday, looks like a great show!

Bummed I can’t make it this year. Post plenty of pics!

Five months away, and still not a single guest listed. Very strange.

This weekend!

Really hoping to come up for this show next year.

Another JIM that I think of in the "tiny people" theme.
