Starting with some leftover romance books from my last thread in November. Despite the foxing/tanning that are present on the covers and on some pages, the overall colors still pop quite well, and these remaining romance books continue to nicely showcase the work of Abruzzo, Pike, Romita, Colan among others. After the DC romance books have been posted, there will be some gold, silver and bronze books.

The Rules …

  • No one on the naughty lists
  • Payment via PayPal; in Canada, E-transfer is preferred!
  • Shipping via Canada Post within Canada, up to 2 slabs or 5 raws, is $15.00, shipping to the US via Canada Post, up to 2 slabs or 5 raws, is $20.00; anything over that limit will need to be determined; International OK, but shipping will be need to be determined based on where you live.
  • None of the romance books have been pressed. See the write-up for each of the slabbed books offered for pressing history.
  • I reserve the right to ask for references.
  • Returns and refunds okay if you see something I missed; shipping on you; please notify me 1 week after receiving the book(s).
  • The first :takeit:(or variant thereof) in the thread which identifies the book (either through a quoted pic, or name of the book) claims the book(s) and trumps ANY negotiations via PM. I’ll mark books SOLD as soon as I can, but if another Boardie beats me to it, then he/she is the winner!
  • Please provide payment within 2 days of receiving my PM with the invoice.
  • My Kudos https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/377554-buscemas-avengers-kudosfeedback-thread/
  • I encourage you to PM to ask for additional pics if needed (especially if you need to have a closer look at the tanning/foxing , and/or to send reasonable offers, especially on multiple book deals).
  • Posts/pics on their way ...
  • :news: Take 10% off the slabs, and 15% off remaining raws ... Thread closes tomorrow night (Feb.13) @ 9:00pm EST.
