  1. I guess I should have put that I only ship CONUS. I think shipping to Australia may cost more than the donation. I'm not sure what to do here.
  2. I would like to contribute. Suggested donation of $50 to the Drew family, but at least $30. I will cover shipping CONUS. Will ship once donation is verified. Will ship only CONUS. I apologize to our Canadian and overseas board members. Sgt. Rock lot (late BA and CA) Some great cover art by Joe Kubert! 18 comic lot Includes issues: 345, 351, 364, 393, 397, 398 (2 copies), 399 (2 copies), 401 - 407, 415, & Special #2 All are around 6.0 or better condition except 351 which may be more in the 4.5 range. I think about 3 or 4 may be more in the 9.0 range. 405 & 406 are the Angels with Black Wings story (Red Tail Squadron/Tuskegee Airmen) both around 5.5/6.0 range. Sweetening the deal a bit. Adding Star Spangled War Stories 29. Looks like a nice mid-grade book from the front, but piece missing from spine and coupon clipped on the back cover. Still a fun book! Found a couple more Sgt Rock comics to add to the group. Issue 309 (around 4.5) & Annual #2 (around 5.5/6.0) ***21 comics in total now. That's about $2.38 per book if you do the $50 donation.***
  3. One final bump. Dropped price on Mighty Mouse lot ($50 shipped) and dropped price on both lots combined ($65 shipped for both).
  4. First in the thread wins. Please do not edit your post after posting Closed Sale. Thank you to all who stopped by! PAYMENT Paypal only. Payments should be made within three days of receiving invoice from me. SHIPPING USPS priority shipping with insurance is included in prices. These will ship in a Gemini Comic mailer. If you would like them shipped in a USPS Priority Flat rate box, I am happy to do that, but I will need to add a few dollars to the price to cover the extra shipping cost. I love our Canadian and overseas members, but will only ship CONUS right now. Books will be shipped within 2 days of payment. I will not sell to any H.O.S. Members or anyone currently on the probation list. Although I've never had any issues, full or partial refunds available if you contact me within 10 days of receiving your purchase. I do not offer refunds on CGC graded books. I think that covers it. Here's the books! Lot 1 - Mighty Mouse Basically pricing the first 3 (issues 16, 21 & 24) and throwing the other 3 in for free. Although the Adventures of Mighty Mouse 7 does have a double cover for anyone who collects those. Mighty Mouse 16 - 2.0 - Cover detached, interior pages still stapled together. Color scrape front cover lower right corner area. 1/4” spine split lower spine. Decent looking lower grade comic. Mighty Mouse 21 (52 page issue) - 3.0 (close to 3.5 if not for water spot) - Cover and centerfold attached. Several creases lower right front cover and lower left back cover. Water stain near center front cover. Other dirt spots on Mighty Mouse. Pen top middle front cover. Another decent looking lower grade comic though. Mighty Mouse 24 (36 page issue) - 2.5 - Cover and centerfold attached. 3/4” lower spine split with small piece missing back cover. 1/8” top spine split. Small corner piece missing top left back cover. A few tears on top front cover, but overall decent looking low grade comic. Adventures of Mighty Mouse 7 - 1.5 - Double cover! 2” spine split on outer cover and 1” spine split inner cover. Spine split middle cover as well, but can’t tell if the inner cover has the same issue. Inner cover is a little brighter in color than outer cover. Both covers still attached and centerfold attached, but I think lower staple centerfold might eventually come loose. Corner piece missing on a few lower right interior pages. Some tears on cover and other general wear (writing, date stamp, soiling back cover) brings grade down. Mighty Mouse 82 - 0.5? - Do you like your comics to feel crunchy? Then you will love this book. Overspray on all four sides of book making it stiff and crunchy feeling. Not sure how to grade this one really. Mighty Mouse Fan Club Magazine 6 - 4.0 - Looks nicer but 1/4” piece missing from spine near top where it says MIGHTY and 1/8” piece missing around the middle of the spine. Also has some overspray on top edge, right open edge, and bottom edge of comic. Not nearly as bad as 82. Presents like a mid-grade book. Lot 2 - Three Dimensions Three Dimension Comics starring Mighty Mouse - 2.5 - Cover and centerfold attached. Also has loose pair of original glasses. Pen writing on cover, corner bends, small pieces missing, foxing/staining and other general wear brings grade down on this comic, but it is a decent looking low grade book. House of Terror - 1.5/1.8 - Missing top staple. Cover detached and all interior pages loose, but it is complete. No glasses with this one. Front cover also miscut. Heavy creases lower left back cover corner area. It looks nicer in Mylar, but lowered grade due to loose pages and detached cover.
  5. I’ve been pretty lucky finding high grade copies at embarrassingly low prices. Most of the books I own were $5 or less. I paid $15 for the Worlds of Weird book a couple years ago and that was the first time I spent more than $10 on a paperback.
  6. Last one for this morning is a hardcover (I hope that is alright). I actually collect quite a bit a sci-fi by female authors and I feel this book definitely fits the theme of this thread based on its subject matter. It's a sci-fi book about a hardboiled detective called Sibyl Sue Blue. Unfortunately, Rosel George Brown passed away at a fairly young age. She wrote several short stories and collaborated on the novel Earthblood with Keith Laumer. The first line on the dust jacket is: "Sibyl Sue Blue hits first and thinks later, preferably over a Gin and 'gin and a good cigar."
  7. Having some technical issues trying to upload images this morning. Here are a couple Ace Doubles I don't think have been posted yet.
  8. Definitely need an upgrade on this first one, preferably one without a price sticker on it , but it's one of my favorite covers. The owner at my LCS used lighter fluid to take the sticker off one of the books I bought from her, but that makes me a bit nervous. Steranko covers Took me a while to find a copy of this in the right condition at the right price. Roy Krenkel cover art Jeff Jones cover. I really love this one. Kelly Freas, I think? Schomburg art
  9. Awesome! I may scan in a few over the weekend. It would be great to share them with other sci-fi fans. Other than my wife who mostly reads newer sci-fi (Murderbot is a favorite of hers), I don't have anyone to share them with.
  10. I didn't even realize this thread existed. I'm going through it and adding books to my want list. I've been more of a paperback book collector than comic collector the last few years. I may try to post a few of my books if it's ok to post sci-fi paperbacks here. I second Mr. Dowling. This is my new favorite thread!
  11. I checked my AFLAC accident policy and it looks like 3rd degree burns and coma pay the most, but that would still only give me about 10% of what I need.
