  1. I bought a huge lot of Big Little books - I have very limited experience with them, even though I think they're pretty cool and have had a few Disney books in my collection for many years. But as for buying and selling, and even grading, I am a newbie. Please be gentle and buy my books!

    Usual rules apply - no HOSers, Probies, or other nefarious types. 

    First unqualified :takeit:in the thread trumps all negotiations or DM offers/takes.

    Payment is PayPal, though checks and MOs are accepted, but will have to clear before books are sent.

    Shipping will be Priority Small box for $8. If you buy more than one I'll figure out the shipping with you. Outside of the US please discuss shipping before taking.

    I will be in and out, so I may not respond quickly to offers or takes, but I will try.

    Offers are always welcome, especially if someone is in the market for a whole new collection of these books! List of what I have available upon request.

    Thanks for looking!

  2. So bought some comics from North of the Border (aka Canada in these here parts) and found out that a few of them are Canadian editions! Go figure!

    But, I know nothing about them except that many have different interiors than the corresponding US copies, or different covers for the number, or both, or even a different name. I asked one company I found on the interwebs but they aren't interested and didn't have much info. GCD has a few, not all of these (I should send them the info when I have a few minutes). Any info, or offers to purchase, are welcome!

    You could always tape the missing piece back on, which would not result in a conserved or restored grade. 

    I've been going back and forth about this with my presser/cleaner. I asked him to take a picture of the book after it's pressed with and without the piece. If I do ask for it to be reattached it will be with regular ol' tape to avoid Gray or Purple labels.

    Not a lot of takers on this one.  hm  Great book! This may not be a popular opinion but I would reattach the corner piece from the inside with a tiny, removable-if-desired piece of clear tape. This is a low-grade book (in technical grade, not eye appeal!) and I suspect you're looking at somewhere around 1.8, maybe 2.0 whether the piece is there or not. With that in mind it might as well look better.

     

    I know! I thought this would be a popular book - but I guess not (or all the fans are away for the weekend?).

  5. So . . . complete, cf attached, but front cover is a mess - top staple detached, bottom hanging on, pieces missing from spine (see scan for which ones), and then the biggest issue, the bottom right corner. I have a big piece of that corner (more on that below). First page also has piece missing from bottom right corner (can be seen in scan, doesn't affect panels). Back cover is decent. Not brittle at all, just well used. Cream pages.

    I have most of the missing bottom right piece (and I thought I had made a scan of the book with the piece in place, but I guess I didn't). I would like opinions on grade as is.

    Would also welcome opinions on a) reattached grade (would be conserved - and yes, I know it's almost impossible without actually seeing how would look, but assume it fills in the bottom part, leaving the right empty almost straight down from the upper 1/2" missing part - i.e. missing 1/2" x 3" jagged piece along right edge to bottom edge) and b) would it be worth it to suffer the conserved label with better presentation, or as is blue label?

    Thank you!

  6. I have a centerfold to Tec #1 if anyone is interested (pics below)

    Also looking to buy cover of Jackpot comics 5.

    And while I'm asking - cover and first 2 or 3 wraps of the Phantom Blot (four color, Mickey mouse). I don't have the comic with me so I can't remember how many wraps its missing. Looking for marriage- buy what I'm missing or sell what I have.
