Lone Star Comics

I wonder if anyone has any experience with this company? Please share them with me, such as reliability in grading, order processing, etc. Thank you all in advance for the help.

They've been talked about before. Try doing a search. And welcome to the boards

I've had nothing but good experiences with them. Mostly ordering SA stuff. I've always bought scanned items and made sure there wasn't anything jumping out at me.

I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area where Lone Star is at and they have been in the comics business longer than Chuck... take that for what it's worth. I myself do not care for them.

I have close to $500 in credit with them... (in case anyone wanted anything.)

 

They have a great automated buying program actually... the best I've seen.

I owe Buddy a steak dinner.

He helped me retrieve some stolen books.

He is A-OK in my book.

 

Plus, Lone Star Comics....Texas...gotta be good!

Buddy rocks. Anybody who would name their kid Conan is OK in my book.

 

God, I bet Conan must be in his twenties now!

 

Gulp.

For older, more expensive books, in GD or lower, they tend to undergrade, for newer stuff, if you are looking for 9.4 you will be dissapointed. There trade system is excellent though & I have traded them Thousands of dollars of books I can't use for stuff I actually wanted.

I sold them a bunch of books. They paid quickly using a check and the communication of their guy in charge of the internet (Buddy) was excellent. I have not bought anything from them yet.

 

Good luck.

Too bad Buddy doesn't really have that much to do with the day-to-day operations these days.

High-end grading is on par with Mile High (maybe a timy bit better). 80s-present books are graded by looking at them for 2 seconds and throwing them into a pile. Bronze Age books are looked at for 5 seconds, Silver Age book get 8 seconds.

I ordered from them once a few years back when I started collecting again. Good experience. (thumbs u

Grading

 

I would say that their VFs are Fines etc...

 

They do have a big selection if you don't care too much for the grade and just want hard to find stuff.
