CATRICK'S BEST IN CENSUS IS CLOSED 8 8

[catrick339]

Howdy! So, just in time for the holidays,  I stumbled into a small cache of  reeeally nice CGC books.
Selling one here tonight, along with a handful of raw books. More to come as  I decide whether to crack them open
to read, or send them on their way.  

 

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.

$9.50  Priority shipping to the USA for one to  four comics, well packed in a padded  envelope.   
$16 boxed  Priority  for  larger quantities.  Canada or overseas to be determined.
$16 for slabbed books, double boxed, plenty of  bubble wrap. 

 
CHECK OR MONEY ORDER  PREFERRED, I just plain out don't like paypal.   

If you just GOTTA pay with paypal  PM me first 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.

Crime Reporter #1  St Johns,  1948.
First time I've gotten any issue from this title. 

Small splits upper and lower spine,  horizontal tear midspine, goes into the entire book a bit,  dogears and general wear. 
Chips and stain lower edge BC, other minor general mayhem. ALAS, the centerfold is missing. 

Buy it for the young lovely on the cover, and enjoy (most of) the stories. 

Yours for  $25  SOLD!

That's it for this evening, I'll be back tomorrow night with one more small handful. 
I'm busy sorting through  the new arrivals, getting  ready for a new thread next week. 
Heavy on 50's war books there will be a bit of mixed grille too,  including a couple more slabs,
at least one Matt Baker romance, and some precode horror, so tomorrow night will
be it for this thread.  I wanted to see if  there was any interest in a census highest book hereabouts.

I've been known to ingest a highest graded book or two.  They become part of my collective.  Looking forward to seeing what else you serve up.  For possible assimilation.

XOXO,

Woo woo! On with the raw books! The war books should be pretty good exemplars of what's coming next week,
at least among the nicer grad4es.  I SHOULD have  a good sized pile of Rough Readers too, all in the $5 to $10 range.

Star Spangled War Stories 44

Touch of spine/stacking roll, chip out lower spine BC, one tiny spot of water along the spine BC. Teensy tear LH edge BC
Tight,  clean,   glossy, white pages

Asking  $50

[catrick339]

All-American Comics 62

Tape along spine inside cover,  narrow strip missing upper spine (probably silverfish), small tear upper LH BC. 
Smal tear  LH edge BC, bit of spine roll, general wear. Upper staple rusty with a whiff of migration. Tight with white pages.
With all that said, it still looks mighty good in a new Mylar,  it displays very nicely. 

Yours for $100
