Closed.DC Singles and Sets: From Dark Knight (1st's) to Zero Hour, lots o' stuff

[alexml.]

I raided my DC books this weekend for an eclectic offering of the cool and hot to the cool and forgotten. Lots more to add as I have time. Feel free to ask questions. Glad to chat if you would like a call (or wish to call me!)

 

First gets the books. Paypal is great, checks must clear before sending. Thanks for looking.

 

No Hall of Shame or Probation folk.

 

I am a new seller on the boards though I have made several sales here in the past couple weeks and I have started to receive some kudos here: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7398139#Post7398139. I have been buying and selling comics for over 30 years. Please check out my ebay record (alexml.); I haven't sold large volumes there, but over 15 years I have 470+ positive feedbacks and 0 negative as a seller (or buyer, of course, though the 470 is sales only). I'm also glad to provide a phone number for a chat. Please PM me with any questions.

 

I carefully package the books with bags and boards and a combination of bubble wrap and card board. Never had a complaint and have often been complimented on packaging.

 

1-5 books fit well protected in a Priority Envelope for $5.95

More than that, or at your request, I’ll use a Priority Box for $11.95

 

Here is the master list of books for sale in this thread. I’ll work on getting scans up. In some cases, I’ve scanned only the first book of the sets for sale. Please feel free to request additional scans or ask any questions or make an offer!
