Quick thread, mostly raw "Adventure into Fear" just in case anyone's trying to complete a run (I bailed, never getting a #8, and over last month sold the Fear: Morbius and Man-Thing keys on gouge-bay; I like this place too much to do that here).

RULES: Pay by check/mo only. 

Returns ok for 2 wks after receipt; if you return a slab you agree to pay 2-way ship; any resto shows up take 10 years. 

Ship at cost; (raw) starts at $5 media in gemini ii mailer or $8.50 priority legal flat rate mailer; min. (default) ship cost shown w/some items (buy more than one item and ship will be less than combined amts).  Ship (slab) starts at $14 for one (priority box-in-box, w/styro peanuts between).

No lists, 1st take wins. If there's any rule I forgot, my rule is "no."

Priced for dissident-bay (derived from recent sales there, since I canceled my GPA), so you'll pay the lower marked price (basically at least 10% lower). Also I don't collect sales tax, that's on you.  The ASMs are decently priced, just ballparked price of the FEARs since little data available, nice copies all at least F+, nothing was pressed.

Also check out my old thread in MISC from Jan., some nice items still there.

Got my dinosaur and H*tler books.

Awesome stuff.

Thank you my fine lizard.

Pretty sure thread is updated and all sold books have been clearly marked as gone.

Recap on page 1 (second post).

Will add at least a few by tomorrow night.  Some FEAR, and a couple of ASM 252s.

New pick up that seems to be picking up some steam.

Picked up this thread around Feb 5th and this looks like first book posted in theme of "heating up." [in contrast to already high, or perhaps a bit higher]

Not complaining, !, the conversation is on topic and there is plenty that's entertaining, but it's a comment that for around seven weeks, nobody saw a spike in a SA book worth posting here about.

I think that's a printing defect, and I'd be surprised if that was the issue. The small edge tear (above the Marvel box) probably had a role in the grade.

I've never seen it before, but I've only seen around 20 copies (though hundreds of images online). Bought and sold a few in past couple of years but that's pretty meaningless w hundreds of thousands copies (what, half a million in circulation?).

But I accept that many people know much more than I do, and appreciate the head's up - I'll keep eyes open for same defect on another copy.

Agree that it seems undergraded.

Possibly that red streak down the last "s" was source of hammering - sometimes stains are overpenalized, in the estimation of many (at least based on what I've read here by members).

another round where I don't need any, what is happening here?

A poem, by me.

Overgrade and underprice

And your sales thread will come out nice.

Just mail them out and you will find

That people make their own peace of mind.

 

I think this makes me the boards poet laureate.

Yeah but look at the competition.

I deleted my first two replies to that one and finally decided not to post.

This is why you will win - willing to go where lesser men won't dare.

This was a great thread that I was hoping would come along!  Love these covers and trying to put together a nice run.  This almost completes it! 

The handful I bought are based on a whim, pjlmk if me grabbing 94 or 108 e.g. was taking a book you need.

On 4/5/2022 at 6:03 PM, lizards2 said:

What about 106?  OK - I am going to make and educated guess, and say 106b.

I'll check, the nicer copy if it doesn't have the white stripe along spine, otherwise your guess is perfect, the lower grade. I think they were all "b" but will double-chk.

The small batch of Star Spangled WS's with dinos and pterodactyls I already have, is what this batch will join, I've no other war books except a Two Fisted or two, EC.

On 4/5/2022 at 5:54 PM, lizards2 said:

Which 103? a or b? 

103b, it's in my "idiot" reply.

Gee I can be an idiot, I should've said WWT 103b.  Not just that I'm cheap, I really don't like a prominent white stripe.

And "takeit" for these 4:

WWT 94
WWT 103
WWT 105
WWT 106

I think that gets me over the limit.

That should read 106b pls.

And WWT 108:

Cute!

No, ours is a Cockelier - Cocker Spaniel / King Charles Cavelier Spaniel mix.

I think I'm doing ok, but if you want to do some pity buys, they are always helpful.  

I've had a few Cockers over the years. 

And "takeit" for these 4:

WWT 94
WWT 103
WWT 105
WWT 106

I think that gets me over the limit.

I believe I can increase or decrease it.  Currently, it is set at 255 characters.  Do the majority of the people want it decreased?

I've noticed and at times even been mildly irritated at what sometimes appears to be four lines of text listing every book, but imo don't think the 255 limit should be changed.  I guess mainly because I'm biased against making rule/policy changes absent abuse.  And I don't see the 'text wall' as abusive of sensibilities.   And fyi, my last thread I titled simply "mostly Marvels" for most of its life, and I'm a true believer in brevity (though at the end I wussed out and added things like MCIC #3 !! and other hot titles).

On 4/4/2022 at 4:18 PM, lizards2 said:

Yeah - I have never been much of a horror fan. I collected the title when I was a kid but traded them all away.

Since coming to boards, I got bit by the WAR COMICS bug (that pesky @thirdgreenham was mostly to blame.)

Now look where I am on Weird War Tales on the personal collection front:

Cool system, thanks for sharing. How do you note dupes ?
