Look, Mom, no pics!: Vol. 13, ASM #80-89...CLOSED.

[cloudofwit]

I do not have pics of these books, but I offer a money-back guarantee. (I've checked in with cosmic-spider-man; silverweb; 1Cool; Green; jsilverjanet; bb8; No Quarter; Tivo32; LT212; flikhype; Lancedg79, and comicalgems--and these 12 Boardies, who recently bought from me in these picture-less threads--are satisfied customers.) Additionally, my kudos thread here on the Boards should provide assurance to anyone on the fence.

 

1) First in the thread gets it.

 

2) No Hall of Shame nor Probation List folks, please.

 

3) PayPal, check (will need to wait for it to clear), or postal money order. Payment expected within 3 days of invoice. Shipped within 3 days of payment.

 

4) Shipping included: U.S. only. Securely packed, Priority Mail Box, Delivery Confirmation, & insurance.

 

5) Money-back guarantee: if not satisfied, full refund (minus return shipping); if you've done business with me before, return shipping on my dime.

 

Thank you for looking. :smile:

[cloudofwit]

The obligatory notes for these 10 books are forthcoming...

 

pending the notes is kosher. Also kosher, I hear, are Hebrew National hot dogs. (A TV commercial makes the lofty claim that the company "answers to a higher authority.") Buy the books & the dogs!

[cloudofwit]

This has languished for a few weeks with no action, so how about a price reduction...

 

299.00 shipped in the U.S.

 

Notes for the 10 books should arrive soon.

ASM #80 FN+

 

--Centering: 1/16" miswrap/white on spine @ top; starts to pick up a little speed about halfway down; 1/8" by bott. of spine.

--Staples rust-free, but top staple is recessed into spine; also, although staples are attached at the cover, there's some tearing away a bit from both staples on the inside front cover (not in any danger of detachment though); staples rust-free and secure @ centerfold.

--Non-color breaking bends on spine.

--Front cover/upper left area: looks like some production-related creasing in Spidey logo box.

--Front cover edge, about halfway down, a non-color breaking bend that also has a very tiny bit of color loss; some other minor non-color breaking bends on front cover.

--Back cover edge: some non-color breaking bends. Back cover in FN-VF/VF- territory. Overall grade for book brought down because of the aforementioned tugging at the staples, inside front cover.

 

POSITIVES:

a) Front cover has good colors & gloss.

b) Inside covers: OWW or OW.

c) Pgs.: OW.

It's not just your 2 cents, it's objective fact. But I currently don't have a scanner, camera, or cell phone.

 

However, my previous 12 sales threads, all like this, have all sold out. May this 13th one not be my undoing.

[cloudofwit]

ASM #82 VF+/VF-NM

[cloudofwit]

ASM #87 VG+

 

--Some minor rust on top staple; bott. staple no rust, but detached @ cover; staples rust-free & attached @ centerfold.

--Front cover/lower left area: a few light foxing marks (which do NOT go through to the inside front cover).

--Back cover edge, about 1/3 of the way down: 3/4" printer's crease.

--Back cover/upper right area: small mark of some kind, production-related? (1/4")

--Back cover/bottom edge & on spine near bott. staple: light foxing stains (inside back cover, very bott. edge, some VERY light evidence of the foxing), yet back cover is more white than CRM/OW.

 

POSITIVES:

a) Very nicely centered.

b) Inside covers: OWW.

c) Pgs.: OWW or OW.

d) Corners & edges on this book are nice.

e) Spine is pretty sweet, i.e., absence of wear.

f) Front cover has sharp colors and outside of the touch of rust on top staple & bott. staple detachment & light foxing in one small area, the cover would be in VF+ territory. : A lot of conditions, I know, so I'll just say a mid-grade book that presents very nicely.)

[cloudofwit]

ASM #88 VG+

 

--Centering: 1/16" miswrap/white on spine @ top, ever-so-slightly decreasing until bott. of spine.

--Staples rust-free and attached @ the cover, but some tearing at both staples, inside front cover (no danger of detachment); staples attached @ centerfold.

--Front cover/top staple: some light tearing.

--Moderate spine wear.

--Front cover/lower right area: 2 lightly color-breaking diagonal creases (2 1/4" and 5 1/2"...believe it or not, because of the cover art, these 2 creases aren't overly obvious, so the front cover eye appeal is actually still pretty nice).

--Back cover: nothing major going on; I'd grade it at FN+/FN-VF.

 

POSITIVES:

a) Inside covers: OWW.

b) Pgs.: OWW.

c) Very nice eye appeal for a VG+ book.

[cloudofwit]

ASM #89 FN

--Back cover, upper left area: the main defect of the book, a 2" lightly color-breaking crease and then goes non-color breaking, but goes down 2/3 of the book.

POSITIVES:

a) Nicely centered.

b) Staples rust-free and attached @ the cover & centerfold.

c) Inside covers: OWW.
