CATRICKS QUARNUCOPIA IS CLOSED!

Howdy  Gang!

Closing in  on  100  days  of  voluntary  quarantine,   and no  end  in sight.   Cat and  I  are  locked down  through  AT LEAST    mid-July, 
and  maybe  beyond.   Michigan is  opening up  fully,  and  on  our  few  trips out  (Pharmacy,  bank,  and  Post Office  for  me, grocery  store for  me  and  Cat)
we're seeing  more  and  more  nitwits  ignoring  social distancing  and   masks.  We're not going anywhere  until  we  see  what  kind of spikes develop
in the Midwest  after  full open.  We've  already  had  two  deaths  among  friends  and  close acquaintances,  and  several  hospitalizations,  including 
a couple  intensive  care  stays.  

We're  staying  put. 

But that  leaves  us  with  a  lot of time  on  our hands.  Cat is  cooking  many  odd  dishes,   with  about  one  success  in  two,  and  every once in  a  while  
something  spectacular.   I'm  doing yardwork,  organizing   books  and  comics,  and  drinking   as much  as is good for me,  lol

HOWEVER!

As  boring as things have  gotten,   I  took  a  little road  trip  the other day  to  a  buddy's house.  He's  older  than me  and  has  emphysema, so  he's 
been  AT LEAST  as  careful  as  I have  been,  so  we  decided  to  chance it,  

I  came  home  with  some   junk,   some  interesting  cheap  stuff,  and  a  few  gems.  I'm  keeping  a  few items,  the rest  are  going up  for  grabs.

Stand by  for  a  few  pulps,  a  handful  of  early  paperbacks,  and  a nice pile  off   Gold  through  Bronze  oddballs

Stand by  for  mixed  grille!

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.

 
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.

I know the feeling Rick. Same thing for me. Opening up a little fast out here on the West Coast for me. LA is still pretty careful with masks and social distancing. But Orange County next to me is going nuts. Very few masks and just total disregard for anyone but themselves. Combine that with 2 weeks of MASS demonstrations of young folks without a care in the world is making me a little nervous. You just know very few of them are getting tested. 

Our biggest weekly flea market opens up next weekend. I sold my space and might not even go as a shopper. Dying to go but not figuratively... A lot of the dealers are older folks and word is a lot of them aren’t going to set up. 

I won’t probably sell at another show this year I’m afraid. 

I did the same thing myself this week and got together with an older local shut in guy and picked his garage packed with stuff. Got some cool stuff but was real careful...

Adventures  Into  Terror 12

Well,  this  artifact  is   miscut  about three different  directions,  lol

There is a small   piece  of  tape  on the  cover  lower  spine,  and page  1  has  a  long narrow  strip  torn off  the  outside 
edge,  doesn't touch  the  art.   None of the miscuts  touch  the  art  either,  by  at least  a  quarter inch.  
Otherwise  flat   and  clean  enough,   decent  gloss,   pulled  lower  staple on CF,   white  pages,  

Being  as  it's   still  a  complete  PCH  book  with  some  really interesting  printing   flaws,   I'm  asking  for  something 
approaching  real  money,   

Yours for $70
