Yeah, in general, I haven't noticed a whole lot of down turn in the comic market on line. As a collector of lots of things, I know the collector mentality. We just gotta get our fixes. I'm pretty sure I'd still be doing pretty well at my local shows if this wasn't going on. Changer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the big 'investment grade' keys and a lot of speculator books have gone down, but in terms of general GA books prices are strong, even rising for many books I have been watching. I'm kind of surprised honestly, I expected things to slow down if not actually drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of surprised honestly, I expected things to slow down if not actually drop. I kind of thought so too. I guess the whole world isn't in financial ruin yet. I doubt too many people will be dumping their collections in mass. Same thing happened in 2008. The market has a way of absorbing nice GA stuff. I'm sure guys sitting on big, high grade GA and SA keys are a little nervous. I have always said, for every top end guy there are a hundred guys who are happy to buy lower grade books just to be able to own one. Most of us are priced out of a lot of books now.

Cool story. A very nice copy. Tight, glossy and bright. No splits, tears, creases or missing pieces. Nice corners. Back cover has a sun shadow across top right to left (or vice versa). A few light, minor spine bends. Very slight tanning at top of inside covers. Everything snugly attached. Supple interior pages. Nice looking copy. $40. per PM...

Robot Man Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 OK, price drops are now in effect. Will leave this up today and send out invoices tomorrow. IMPORTANT NOTE... Only accepting PayPal on this one. Payment is required within 3 days of invoice. Due to the current conditions, I will only be going to the Post Office once. So please pay promptly. Most all you cool folks do, but there is always a straggler that I have to remind. As always, thanks for looking and buying. The money is nice but the diversion is priceless. Stay safe mi amigos and for everybody’s sake abide by these suckie rules. This will end sooner than later if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spine is very neatly split to bottom staple which is popped. Back cover has a neat horizontal tear all the way across book. Upper right corner has a long crease. A little edge wear but no other tears or creases. No pieces missing or anything that mars this cool cover much. Nice slightly off white interior pages. I've seen a couple nice copies of this go for stupid money. Grab a nicely presenting copy "in the bag" a lot cheaper. Was $35. Now $25 I'll take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid copy with nice color and complete. Small upper spine split/tear. A little dirty that would probably clean up quite a bit with a cleaning. Tips of corners have a little wear. A little cover and edge wear. No real tears, creases or other damage otherwise. Tightly bound with nice interior pages. Was $45. Now $40. I have my late older brother’s copy that he bought for a nickel at Ben’s Bargains on Grant Ave. Could use another copy. Still love the Doc Savage badge that I bought from you.

Features a now non PC Black Maid featured in story. A Nice, clean, tight copy. Has full, tight, well bound cloth spine. A few small scratches and nicks. Inside back cover has a slight tear at top. Nice Christmas inscription from Grandma inside. Everyone should have a few PA books in their collection especially considering this is almost a hundred years old and so cheap. Was $30. Now $20! If still available... I will take it. I had started collecting PA comic strip books. Bringing Up Father is my favourite. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) I still have that super cheap origin of Skeezix book on page one. Skeezix and Uncle Walt. I have more of this stuff but I can’t access them right now. Tell you what, if you, or anyone else buys the other Skeezix book, I will throw in this circa 1915 Mutt & Jeff advertising card...FREE!...
