Three books only. Patsy & Hedy, Journey Into Unknown Worlds, Fightin' Marines (St. John, Baker, Canteen Kate) - CLOSED 0

[elibowman]

Three books only today...let's see if we can make this quick. Though, one of them might be difficult.

 

Shipping will be at the cost of the buyer. I will ship outside the US. Not trying to make any money on shipping, so I am happy to work with you, but 100% of the cost will be on you.

 

PayPal is easiest, but I'll take a check or MO if that's what you want.

 

I'll accept returns, but shipping is on the buyer unless I made an error in the listing.

 

First  in the thread wins, and those would trump any ongoing PM negotiations.

 

No buyers from the bad lists.

First up is a nice Patsy And Hedy #56. This book would be in the 6.5 or better range except for a bottom front corner dog ear that has partially split. Please see the pics. The dog ear extends in the first six pages, but the split only extends in for the first three (getting progressively smaller). This is clearly the biggest issue with the book. I am calling it 3.5 at this point, but looks nicer.

Next up is a Journey Into Unknown Worlds #30, a nice precode horror Atlas book. It's in 3.0 shape with a couple pieces missing from the top and bottom spine, and the front corners. Please review the pics for details. Otherwise, this one is pretty nice, with a great Maneely cover. Everything is there and attached, though the cover is showing some looseness.

Last book is a copy of Fightin' Marines #6 from St. John in 1952. This one features a Matt Baker cover, and (I believe) the 5th appearance of Canteen Kate. She gets ahold of a flamethrower in this one. Very sharp and pretty copy with one inexplicable issue. A previous owner stitched laces through the spine. This WAS NOT necessary. Everything appears to be attached and secure. This guy did this to many of his books, and a local dealer ended up with a stack of them. I bought this one because I just don't see them. There were a few other desirable issue that I passed on, but I couldn't pass up Kate. Without the lacing, it appears to be no worse than 5.0, and quite possibly better. The cover is flat and nice with only some light creasing on the bottom front right corner. I think the lacing drops this to 2.0 - 2.5 (???), but your mileage may vary. I personally find this MUCH less of a problem than three ring binder hole punches (which can get 3.0 from CGC, unless I am mistaken), but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It appears you could easily remove the lacing, but you would have a bunch of tiny holes through the book. I think this is better. Only five of these on the census, guys.

 

I am going to start this one at $90. But, I am willing to entertain offers. Just know that an unconditional "take it" posted before any "take it per PM" absolutely rules. Let me know if you have questions, or need more pics.
