catrick339 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) 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. My Kudos thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4287314#Post4287314 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.
