EC ed

Micronauts #1, VG+ 4.5, $10

deslabbed CGC 4.5 (label included); pretty nice copy, aside from a relatively small and clean paper slice at the bottom edge of back cover

Don't ask me why this was ever slabbed...I didn't do it...only thing I can figure is that the slabber didn't notice the paper slice, because otherwise the book is pretty sweet and they were probably overly optimistic 

Justice League of America #55, GD 2.0, $6

pretty big moisture stain bottom half centered on spine (goes through most of book); slight bit of staple rust at centerfold; heavy cover wear; 1 1/2" accum. Spine split

Another cheap slab:

Here's a link to my KUDOS THREAD

The 

• No PL/HOS members;
• The first "take it" posted in the thread wins (whether a straight thread take it, or a "take it via PM" if we reached a deal via PM). If you want to remain anonymous by purchasing via PM, this means there will be some risk of losing a book if someone posts a "take it" in the thread before I can mark the book SOLD based on your PM. Having said that, I'll mark books SOLD as soon as reasonably possible.
• If I label a book as being ON HOLD, that book is not available for purchase until it comes back off HOLD

Payment

• I'll take Zelle, personal checks, or USPS money orders; if you prefer a different method, we can discuss
• I'll expect payment within 10 calendar days, or the deal is off (unless we've made other payment arrangements)
• I'll gladly consider longer-term time payments, but PM me to discuss terms before taking a book if you need that.

Shipping Terms

• USA & Canada:
  - Shipping via USPS priority mail: I'll charge you what USPS will charge me (which depends on how far away from Salt Lake City you are  );
• International Destinations (other than Canada  )
  - Before finalizing the deal we'll need to check into insurance availability - if there isn't an insurance option that I'm comfortable with (based on the dollar value of your purchase) in terms of shipping to your country, I reserve the right to decline the sale; if we go forward, I'll charge you what USPS will charge me (we'll figure which is cheaper - first class or priority mail international - that'll depend on package value and destination)...PM me and I can put books ON HOLD while we figure it out   (Hey...at least this is better than me just straight-up saying "I won't ship international", right?  )

Returns/Refunds

• I will accept returns for a refund for any reason within two weeks of your receipt of the books, as long as the books are returned to me as they were when you received them. If you want to return a CGC slab, shipping both ways is on you (unless I screwed something up). 

Thanks for looking!

Hi is indeed! @Pacole

Phil is a great guy - top notch! We've done quite a few deals together over the years behind the scenes, usually involving him buying my EC undercopies (I also sold him that Phantom Lady #17    ). 

So, a quick summary recap...if you rewind a couple of pages in this thread to the end of 2017, I was talking about my "missing 10" ECs:

Across the Seas in a War Torn World
Church that was Built with Bread
KO Punch
Out of the Past a Clue to the Future
Picture Stories From the Bible Complete Old Testament 6th printing
Picture Stories From the Bible Complete Old Testament 7th printing
Reddy Kilowatt 1B (Reddy Made Magic, 1956)
Reddy Kilowatt 2B (Light's Diamond Jubilee, 1954)
Reddy Kilowatt 3B (Space Kite, S. Calif. edition, 1956)
Wonders of Wire Rope

As of the beginning of 2024, here is what this list of "missing ECs" looked like (after incorporating recent acquisitions and updates to the "completist list" I outline above):

(1) Church that was Built with Bread
(2) KO Punch
(3) Out of the Past a Clue to the Future
(4) Reddy Kilowatt 3B (Space Kite, S. Calif. edition, 1956)
(5) Reddy Kilowatt 3C (Space Kite, S. Calif. edition, 1957)
(6) Picture Stories From the Bible Complete Old Testament 8th printing (characterized by a blank price circle on the front cover)

Yes, as of the beginning of 2024, I was missing 6 of the 478 ECs from my new and improved completist list: 5 seemingly impossible to obtain promo comics + a Bible book printing that I have never seen for sale (but isn't supposed to be terribly hard). The only one of those 5 promo books that I've ever seen for sale is the KO Punch...which I missed out on at auction. Missing out on the KO Punch was a (gutwrenching) key event that left me dejected and led me to start rationalizing how I could redefine my completist list to not include the promos (i.e., they were not copyrighted by EC, I argued to myself...)
