catrick339 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) SO! I was all tooled up to go to Fantasticon Toledo for set up tomorrow, when the Ohio Gov put out the word that any such gatherings were officially on hold. Could have been worse, I hadn't started loading the truck yet, But that leaves me at loose ends for the weekend, so I figgered I might as well put the time to use. I'm selling what's closest, which happens to be a big old pile of British and other import books, heavy on 50's and 60's squarebounds with some great content, four very pretty 1962 British Flash reprints, Australian and Brazilian Tarzan, and of all things, Dutch Flash Gordon reprints from the Alex Raymond era, Beyond these I have some interesting Golden Age, a nice pile of coverless precode horror and other fun books, some very clean 50's giveaways, and a very pretty Bronze book to be revealed later. If you're all GOOD boys and girls I MAY even pull out my Cerebus #1 and offer it up. 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. :TAKEIT: rules the roost, but PM's, kibitzing, and general tomfoolery are welcome. $8.50 Priority shipping to the USA for one to four books, well packed in a padded envelope. $15 boxed Priority for larger quantities. 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, but I'm less cranky about than I used to be, Returns for any reason on your dime, and for any missed major flaw or bad description on my dime.

Robot Man Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Maybe an “End if the World” sale if things keep going the way they have been. EVERY show shut down out here until end of April at least. I predict lots of new eBay listings and board sales. Quicksilver Signs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
