Another one that I didn't have a decent pic of..a little early for PHM, but a nice copy that caught my eye. -bc

The 30/15 minute extended time period is too long unless they are getting bids over fax machines and telegraph. The 3 minute extension that ComicConnect utilizes seems to be working reasonably well. -bc

Generous spine wear, staples are fine, cover slightly loose from staples. No tears, no pieces missing, decent gloss. Can't see any stains, foxing or dust shadows. Thinkin' its about a 3.0/3.5 - what sayeth thou? -bc

I love those statues! Awesome job! -bc

Gotta give those guys at Clink some credit. I dropped off the books on Wednesday at 2:30PM and they are already posting them in the next auction. The best part is I finally got better scans of some of my books compared to the cruddy pics off my ancient phone -bc

I think I remember you saying that a time or twelve . Mine too. -bc

Another one that always got pulled out, Jon had a great eye and I was happy to pick up 3 books from his collection. Can't believe that was 7 years ago. -bc

Guess I have a thing for these deep blue covers -bc

This was the largest bid I ever placed on a PHM book as an auction sniper. Luckily, I won it for 30% of my max bid but that last 10 seconds was nerve racking. It still is the lone single highest graded copy 9 years later. -bc

Another one with crazy gloss and inks Wish the micro-chamber paper wasn't poking out the bottom. I tried some creative tapping, but could never get it to move. -bc

A couple of Friday Favorites... There is no scan or picture that can fully capture the gloss and deep fresh inks on this book. Every time I would thumb through the collection, this one always got pulled out and inspected. -bc

Man, I hope your car seat is kinder to you than mine was -bc

Well, this hippie hillbilly and his steadfast jalopy had a most uneventful 1,600 mile round trip up to Portland, ME this week. May have to do a Post-A-Thon before I officially loss my stewardship. -bc

Love the pay-it-forward, you guys rock! -bc

I'll talk to my local USPS Postmaster and see what she advises. Would really like to open up the sale to the largest audience as possible. Thanks for the info! -bc

I see you are in Tokyo, I have no idea how to ship things there. I have shipped to Canada and it's a pain. I was planning on this being a USA only sale unless it's easy on both me and the buyer. Any advice would be welcome! -bc

Actually it looks more like human hair along with part of a finger. May explain the red spots on the label I don't call him Scratchy for nothin'. -bc

Got my OSPG (a week early!) and have been scanning books for the sale. Just waiting for the Gemini Mailers to show up at work (used our ULine account to save a few bucks). Probably start my sales thread after Tax Day. -bc By the way, the cat got a 9.6, but I had to send it back due to all the scratches and hairs on the inside of the case.
