Greetings Gang!

Got all my sorting finished earlier than I expected, so I'm starting up my last sales thread of the year a bit earlier than planned.
I have approximately 140 1950's war books in absolutely wretched condition to burn through, I hope to get them done over the 
course of this evening and tomorrow evening. During the day any Early Birds or afternoon  Mixed Grille will be just that, a mix
of 40s 50's and 60's mainstream and oddball books. If I can muck out all the Rough Readers by end of evening tomorrow then
Thursday I'll start working on the midgrade and nice war books. 

To start the day out  I'm coming in with a freebie, a $5.00 book, a nice lower grade and a solid copy to give you all an idea of 
what's on the menu,  along with a couple of  Mixed Grille humor books to round out the afternoon.  I intend to start  pushing out
the junk this evening at 7 PM EST and push until I burn through the first half or fall asleep at the keyboard, lol 

But first:

 

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.   
$16.00 boxed  Priority  for  larger quantities.  Canada or overseas to be determined.
$16.00 for slabs, double boxed,  shipped Priority. 

 
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.

And that's it for this afternoon, tune in this evening at 7 PM for a big ol' pile of truly wretched Rough Reader war books, :D

Oh, and there will be no "FREE with the NEXT sale!" business either.  It's free,  you claim it first, it's yours. 

See you this evening!
