Terry's Comics

[Mishmashman]

Anyone have experience buying from Terry's Comics in Orange, CA? How's the grading, pricing? Thanks!

I'm actually awaiting my first book, it is in the mail as we speak.

I can tell you though his correspondence via a handful of emails was very punctual and very nice.

I have always been happy with the raw comics that I have purchased from Terry O'Neil. Terry has a very large stock of raw golden age and silver age comics and some slabs. I have been a customer of Terry's for many years and have purchased many comics including raw Batman #7, Marvel Mystery #36 (my favorite busy Timely cover), and Torchy #1. I have seen Terry selling at SDCC, WonderCon, NYCC, Big Wow, and London Super Comic Con, so he travels quite a bit. He also runs his own old time con, CalComicCon in Yorba Linda, California. He also gives me a sizable discount.

I have bought some stuff from Terry awhile back. Pretty Stand up guy. Im not sure on grading as I just started a while back and have bought slabs from him.

Terry's way cool - likes his real ale too, so he fits right in over here in the UK -

Hands off his Atlases.

I never purchased directly from their catalog but do tend to get something from his booth at every show. IMO, he is a pretty strict grader plus he notes defects on the back of the board. I appreciate that now if I can only remember to look there first. I think his pricing is OK not a bargain but not too high either.

I would say his prices are significantly higher than other dealers and they don't put much stock in page quality but otherwise a quality dealer and excellent service.

Every single book I have bought from Terry has come back slabbed with an exact match or higher than he graded it, and we're talking about 25+ books. Great dealer.

[Mishmashman]

Thanks for your input fellas. Hi John!

Terry is great. I bought this at last years Albuquerque Comic Expo and was really happy with the deal he made me.

Agree, he's priced a bit higher, but he's a nice guy and easy to work with if you put a few books together. I've done business with him on eBay and at C2E2 Chicago.

 

It was a bit awkward the first time I met him. He started thumbing through his wallet and showing me all the checks that he had taken for the big books that he sold. Maybe he had hit the ale early.

You were missing the "Terry humor". I would have whipped out $100's.

What I miss from Terry’s site are scans.

Being an overseas collector not able to attend US conventions it’s a precious service.
