Moondog

Bump for price change.

My old bank had their vault in the basement and it flooded twice in the 30+ years I stored books there. Thankfully the water only dampened the floor in the vault. After the second time I closed the box and moved to a ground level facility. I checked with the bank there and they do not care if the humidity/heat is too high. Their contracts state that any damage to contents in a box due to humidity/heat is not their concern. I stop in from time-to-time just to see and it's always cool, but I know at night it gets hotter and the same goes for Sundays.

Why is this book so hot?

Beautiful copy from an historic collection. $700 or best offer postpaid. PayPal or Zelle accepted. U.S. only. No returns on CGC books. First gets it. Taking this down if no interest.

Spring 1967. Joliet (IL) Catholic High School student paper prints story about nerdy sophomore and his little side business selling old comics. They didn't use the pic of me reading a GA Green Hornet...

Moondog #1 1969

I bought the Detective 75 and 76 for $800. Michael beat me to the Bat 23. Flipped the two I bought for $3,000 the same day. Crazy deal.

I'm selling these for the family of a collector who passed away. They were purchased during the past 10 years or so. No grader notes - sorry. I also do not know if they were pressed.

$8,000 postpaid.

Incredible Hulk 180 CGC 9.0 off-white pages. Incredible Hulk 181 CGC 9.2 off-white to white pages. Incredible Hulk 182 CGC 9.2 off-white to white pages. Sold as a set only. $8,000 postpaid to the U.S. only. PayPal or Zelle OK. First get them! No returns accepted. Please note that my scanner no longer makes crisp images. The sparkle that you see to the right of the K in the logo is NOT on the book. The books are not faded and the colors are vibrant.

My first convention (as a dealer or fan) was the inaugural Chicago Comicon in 1976. I became co-owner and CEO in 1991.

Great to see these old Guy Holcombes again.

I purchased a collection along with Stephen Fishler that had "Guy Holcombe" written on the cover. Beautiful books. Someone on the boards tracked him down years ago. What a guy!

Circa 1984.

The guy was into shaving covers... first time I've seen that sub, sub genre...

Loved the Moondogs back in the day!

Ha ha. It started to be a thing with me, If I couldn't remember a wife/girlfriend's name I'd say, "It's Robin, right?" It was never Robin.

So many memories, Dan. Still in touch with many old Moondoggers. I often feel very nostalgic about those days.

I bought a SA Marvel collection that were all water damaged. FF 1. AF 15 - all the keys. They were near perfect from the middle up. Heart breaking.

i haven't been to the boards in 2 months. Wow! What a memory! I started dealing in the fall of 1975 so this was my first stab at selling books mail order, but more importantly, getting my name out there. The address in the ad was my house. A lot of collectors would come over during the 1975-78 era and look through stacks of books and shoot the breeze. I opened my first shop in September 1978. Thanks for posting, Senormac.

Only owned 2 in 45 years.

I owned one back in 1998.

Congrats on offering it in an auction rather than putting a $15 sticker on it and selling it at a con.

As a non-profit entity SDCC doesn't need to make a huge profit to sustain itself. If they make less money they will just spend less on other pop culture programs (their charter). Plus they had millions in the bank during the mid-90s. That nest egg has to be huge now.

Looks better than the Windy City 9.4...
