Mylar bags have been saving the majority of books, definitely casualties though?

Lots are off the floor, but I only have so much space ?

Going to have to wish some luck. All my raw silver age and Bronze Age runs were there

Good lord, we have been having crazy rains lately and just discovered a few minutes ago a large portion of my basement was flooded with several inches of water. Most of my better books were on Mylar which kept many of them safe, but many have been very damaged and some mylars did not keep out the water. It's going to be a long night ☹️

Thanks, I got a hold of him?

I need to speak to Adam regarding a book I purchased from him. No responses to email or a message through the forum. Anyone know how to reach him or if he is around (maybe PM a mobile #) thanks for for any assistance. warmest regards, Jason

Yes, but not from me. Recent pick ups from a recent ComicConnect auction

Both Human Torch books have sold via PM

one more bump before I start adding some new books tomorrow.

Moving this back to the top.

Haha, this is super similar. All the books I have graded were mostly 9.6's and many 9.8's. not many keys left now as I have sold most and put some into my own collection. Time to sell off the filler books and lesser runs to clear some space.?

Sounds similar to the collection I purchased. He had about 32 longs if I remember correctly, mostly copper age books,

The largest collection of books I every purchased worked out this way. I gave my offer with a brief explanation of my number and he said no. I left it with an open invitation to call me if he changed his mind in the near future. He called me about 4 weeks later and accepted my offer.

no love for the Torch

Sounds like you are pretty late in the discussion but I would offer up three things that I have found helpful in purchasing collections in the past: 1) Do not invest too much time in educating the seller about their books. The more info you provide, the more likely it is they will decide to hold on to the books or try getting more money elsewhere in my experience. You may need to provide some frame of reference for them regarding grading etc. to get them in a realistic place to sell, but I would not do much more than this for the reasons above. 2) If someone is stuck on thinking there books are great condition when in fact they are mid grade or lower grade, I bring along and show them a slabbed copy of a 9.0 or 9.2 book to show them what a book in that grade actually looks like. Usually their books are nowhere near the condition of the slabbed book, and this I have found is a very useful tool to demonstrate what a high grade book actually looks like. I have found this to be a great tool to get sellers being realistic about their books 3) Find out what they want to do with their funds once they get them from the books. Getting insights in to what they want to use the money for can be very helpful in discussions. If they are being overly ambitious with what they want to do with the funds (buy a brand new Mustang for example) and they have a couple of thousand worth of books only, it is likely going to be ineffective to negotiate with them, don't waste your time, or make an offer and walk away with an invitation to call you back if they change their mind. One extra thing, once you agree on a price. Shake on it, pay them immediately and take the books and leave. Don't provide them the opportunity to back out once a deal has been brokered. Hope you get the books. Warmest Regards, Jason
