I had the good fortune of landing my third, and best, copy of this 1st edition of Ursula LeGuin's feminist sci-fi classic, The Left Hand Of Darkness. This was my reference copy, and while having it's share of light wear, it's actually not too bad looking in a sleeve. Shipping to USA is included, returns within 2 weeks of receipt, and payment by check, M.O., or Paypal is fine. This one is more VG range. It cost me $ 100, so I'll start out there, OBO. A VF signed copy recently turned over for $950. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

That's it for now. I did manage to walk almost 20 feet with a short box before I started drifting and listing. Ray offered to do it for me, but I don't want to encourage vegetating, which is easy to fall into. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

A long time LCS has been having these Sidewalk Sales where a group of weekend warriors man some tables in front of his shop. My nephew wanted to go so I figured to give it a try. I traded for some cool stuff and thought I'd offer up some of it here first. Thanks for looking GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) TERMS 1)Shipping to USA is $ 20 for USPS Priority Box( up to 25 raw books), $ 11 for a USPS Priority Flat. I only ship once each week, usually Friday, but this may vary depending on my work schedule at the time. Due to job concerns, I can not do next day shipping. BOOKS OVER $ 1000 MAY BE SHIPPED REGISTERED MAIL . 2)Shipping cost to other Countries will vary..... if I am unable to fully insure, the risk will be YOURS. I use signature confirmation... If the package shows "signed for" on tracking, my responsibility ends there. If you opt out of Sig Con, then "left on porch" or "delivered" is where my responsibility ends. 3) Payment is by check or money order or Paypal. 4)ALL books may be returned in SAME condition within a 2 WEEK period after receipt for ANY reason for full refund plus shipping....return shipping will be your responsibility, unless I missed a major flaw. Resto found within 3 months is eligible for a refund, after that compensation will be made through inventory credit. 5)....I DO NOT REFUND SLABBING FEES. ...as the decision to slab is yours. Slabs are USED, may be scratched or blemished. Any reslabbing is the buyer's responsibility. 6)Time Payments may be arranged with 20 % NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT. … If you default, I do allow the Deposit to be transferred to another item, so it isn't "lost" money to you. Please inquire for details. 7)If you are a member with very low or no post count, payment may need to be a USPS Money Order. 8) I respect your privacy.... so.... 'I'll Take It" wins in PM OR THREAD.... by time stamp. In the event that time cannot be determined, thread "take its" supercede. 9) I'll take it pending image is allowed and holds the book until you decide otherwise. 10) Trading may sometimes be an option.

That stretch from 28 to 37 is one of my favorites .... The first "old" FF I ever had was #35, I was mesmerized by how the original cover was totally different from the MCIC cover ... and it was an early exposure to the MMMS period letters pages. I was hook, line, and sinker at that point. The coverless ASM 10 I got not long after was, as they say down south. "That was ALL she wrote!". I was a zombie from that point on ... well, until I saw my friend's Famous Funnies 214 ... what was a po' boy to do? GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

37 was basically a one-and -done. I always admired those ... anybody can string along a never ending drama fest, but it takes a real pro to tie it up each issue. The Skrull Princess story was just a masterpiece to me. I still re-read it to this day. And go ahead and crucify me, I LOVE Chic Stone ... GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Numbers can also be misleading when tabulating collectibles gains. For example, an item purchased in 1990 for 1K and sold for 2K in 2025 would appear to be a gain of 100%, but when factoring in opportunity cost and inflation, the percentage may be quite a bit lower.

Buying collections is a good way to quickly end up needing to rent storage space. It requires some special expertise. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

You may already know, but she also did a ton of interior stories for several titles. Both credited and uncredited. If you like Kirkpatrick, then you're in for a treat if you like pleasant surprises. Her work will pop up where you least expect it. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

What they need is a "Light Cream/White" designation. That's exactly what many Dell and Harvey file copies have. They should stop shoving square pegs in round holes, and create designations that fit the reality, rather than trying to force reality into what's handy. One press release and some tweaking to the software and voila, we have a process of continual improvement. GOD BLESS ... -jimb0(a friend of jesus)

@waaaghboss I don't know how many are there, but you might walk in there with a Franklin and walk out @$4 per. Don't be shy. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

There are definitely opportunities. I see a lot of those Marvel pubs that are tempting. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

This is exactly what I meant. GPA is also a little threadbare in regards to book specifics, or they were. Many times, an outlier hammers out for a reason, not necessarily because someone was way less intellectually developed than someone else. Sometimes, it actually IS the *ahem* white pages.
