WALL OF TEXT

Details: Welcome to my umpteenth annual Christmas War Thread.  I can't think of a better topic for Christmas than WAR!!!!  I'm going to do the Misc. titles/publishers, then the Marvels, and finish with the DCs (because I supposedly have a bunch of G.I. Combat upgrades coming in the mail today or tomorrow).  The DCs will be by far the most plentiful.  And yes I know, some of those Misc. titles aren't exactly war books, but they are here by virtue of their parachute covers. Because I collect those as a theme cover collection.  And, it's my thread. 

Shipping: I try to get you postage as reasonable as possible while protecting the merchandise.  But, you still need to pay for it.    Postage is what it is, and it ain’t cheap.  I am totally up for whatever makes it cheap – first class boxed on one to two books, removing backboards, outer wells and inner wells.  I just can’t ship media mail.  My zip is 97630, so if you’re in the West Coast postal zone, stuff ships cheaper.   I also ship to frostbacks, ‘roids, jimmers (  ) and elsewhere in the world. 

Payment: Checks & M.O.s are accepted.  Paypal begrudgingly accepted.  

Minimum Merchandise Order:  $20 - More than kind of arrogant. 

Agreements: Time payments are usually fine.  No H.O.S., P.O.S. or H.O.C. members, nor any puppy-kickers, boot-lickers, butt-lickers, poopy-pants, etc.  Secret hand-shakers OK on a case-by-case basis.  

Grading: I have been in the hobby over 45 years.   If you see any glaring grading errors, please inform me via PM.  I try to be conservative, and have cracked about 400++ slabs.  However, I am not perfect..., in fact, my custom title explains it mostly. 

Return Policy: yep!  However, please don't try to return something because you failed to read the detailed description.

Caveats: I can’t seem to run a large thread like this without including a book I either previously sold or can no longer find – I apologize in advance for my lack thoroughness in this respect. However, since some wanker made a big stink about a situation like this with another seller in the probation thread, I feel I have to include this caveat.  Additionally, for some reason, my scanner seems to “add dirt” or “add foxing” to some of the back cover images – you can always ask what’s real and what’s scanner effect.  If a book has foxing, I usually, almost always point that fact out.

Doing it:  You can do it in the thread, you can do it via PM, you can do it in the road.  In the case of ties, it goes to the PM.
