CATRICK'S CORNUCOPIA IS CLOSED 2 2

[catrick339]

Greetings  and  salutations!

Motor  City  Comicon is  coming,  and your ol' buddy  Rick  needs   some  extra  bank,   so  I'm  thinning  the herd!

I've pulled out  about  a hundred  items,   let's  see  if  there's  any  money  left in  the room  after  Robotman's  thread, 

Plenty  of  GA  and  SA  this  time around,   with   highlights including  a  dozen or  so  Planet  Comics,   a  couple EC's, 
miscellaneous  50's  and  60's  goodies,   and  a  handful  of  nice   Golden  Age  DC's.   I'm  shy this  time   on   PCH  and
Teen  Humor,  but  there  are  a  couple  of  each  tucked  away.  

DA RULEZ

I'll put up a big scan of the FC,  note anything else I spot,  and as always,  if you'd like a scan
of the  back cover I'll be happy to  supply it.

 

Shipping to USA preferred, but if you want something sent to Canada or overseas PM me
and we'll work something out.
 
rules the roost,  but PM's, kibitzing,  and general tomfoolery  are welcome.

$8  Priority flat shipping to the USA,  one book or a stack.  Canada or overseas to be determined. 
 
For the bargainminded  I can ship one or two books  First Class for  $4.50

 

CHECK OR MONEY ORDER  PREFERRED, I just plain out don't like paypal.  

If you just GOTTA pay with paypal  PM me and we'll work something out.

 

Returns for any reason on your dime,  and  for any missed major  flaw or bad description on my dime.

Here we go!

 

Let's  start out  with  one of  those  aforementioned   Planets,   shall we?

 

Planet Comics 42

 

Take  a  quick  glance  and  it  looks  great,  with  bright  colors,  lays  pretty  flat,   but   close  examination  shows   problems. 

Whiff  of  transverse  spine roll,   small  piece out upper   LH  FC,   and  the  spine  has  been  damp long enough  to rust  the  staples.

Plenty  of   migration  to the  cover,  but  the  pages  appear  untouched.  Tear in  spine gutter  on  the upper  CF,  about  an inch,  
doesn't  touch  the art.   

 

Now  go look  at  the  scan,   along  the  lower  edge.   Something  gave  the   lower  third  to  half inch a  good  rasping,  and  
the  pages  almost  all the  way  to  the back  have  at  least  a  bit  of the  same thing.  Nothing  the  touches  the art on  any of  the pages,

and it  displays  very nicely  for  the  technical  grade. 

 

Asking  $120
