  1. Staples are both tight and clean. Not soiling on the back, just foxing. The part near the spine presents a little differently, but I am pretty sure it’s the same.
  2. Also snagged this with my 135 I am asking about. This one isn’t as nice. Small piece of tape on front cover bottom. A bit rough around the edges. Let me know what you think.
  3. Ugh. The shadows are worse than I thought too. Sorry about that, guys.
  4. Snagged this beaut today. Wasn’t cheap per se, but I’m pretty sure it will be alright :). Some light spine stress (a press would help). My biggest issue is the fixing on the back cover. This is really where I need help. Let me know what you think. Sorry about that first pic. I’ll try and get a sharp one tomorrow.
  5. I have an antique store along my commute that I have had some decent luck with over the years. The last couple months have been off the charts. In late summer I got a Crime Mysteries 4 and an Astonishing 30 (!!!). I picked up a sweet Fox romance book in September. All three of these cost me $100+, but my returns on that were off the charts. Then today I grabbed this lot for $200.
  6. My chargeback was completed last month. Sadly, I never got any responses to my messages.
  7. Love dealing with Bob. I just got a shipment from him, and it was well packed and accurately graded.
  8. Picked up a a couple Silver Age books, and couldn't be happier. Good prices, and well graded.
  9. Rick’s sales never disappoint. Always something I’ve never even seen before.
  10. I wish I had been keeping track of where I got a book. I have some books that are original owner dating to the mid/late 80s when I started buying off the newsstand. I have a ton of eBay books, and a pretty good number purchased here on the boards. I would love to see some percentages of what I have acquired online vs. in person.
  11. Depends on a lot, but ~250-300 if memory serves. I switched to short boxes a couple years ago.
