[CLOSED] Archie's Madhouse #22 - Auction until Sunday Midnight (CST) 3 hours LEFT!!! 2 2

[JollyComics]

Hello everyone and hopefully, you are doing well through a crazy year!

This is my first Auction here EVER!   The auction begins now tonight and will be ended this Sunday (June 21st) before midnight (CST).

The total of 54 Archie related comic books included the key issue - Archie's Madhouse #22 1st Sabrina, the Teen-age Witch and Archie as Pureheart #1 and Jughead as Captain Hero #1 both are VF or better.  The earliest is 1958 and latest is 1978.  The most years are 1966-67.  The collection was acquired from my two oldest cousins who recently retired and cleaned out of their houses. They were aware of the value of Madhouse #22 but they wanted me to keep them.  Both collected only Archie comic books - nothing else.  Nice collection.

Usual rule applied - Absolutely no HOS or Probies are allowed to bid here.  Please read the auction rule below.

Payment: PayPal or a personal check/MO

Returns: Hopefully you won't!  All books are undergraded included all defects are noted in the list.

Shipping:  It will be FedEx Ground - much cheaper than USPS.  The weight is about 10 lbs. From Los Angeles to NYC, the price ranges from $20 to $30. You will get the invoice after winning the auction.

References:  Pretty plenty of recent buyers.

   Thanks for starting Rickster!

Jughead as Captain Hero #1   There it goes!  VF or better.  It looks sharp like other one.   I suspected my oldest cousin bought them from the newsstand in one month apart and they don't remember.  They are in late 60's but they bought them from the bin boxes at the old comic book store mostly.
