Readcomix Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Rules (Please, please read) Opening bid is $10 and includes USPS Priority shipping (so it’s basically a $1 opening bid for the book itself); bids increase in $1 increments. BIN is $300 (I have purposely set what in my opinion is a high end of reasonable BIN so that we can have a fun auction. For reference, a raw GD missing a chunk of back cover sold on Heritage in Oct 2021 for $264, and a raw VG+ sold there in Sept. 2018 for $1,080. I will post that auction is open once all pix are up. Auction closes at 11 pm EST this coming Monday night, March 7 (A 10:59 pm bid can win, an 11 pm bid is late.) Payment is Check or Money Order (yeah, yeah I know I'm a dinosaur, troglodyte, luddite, mennonite, hermaphrodite etc. - I just don't have or want e-payments.) Shipping is included in opening bid. Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape on your dime.

Readcomix Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Diary Secrets #20 Matt Baker cover, in GD, maybe GD-. Another lost Promise book, with that upper right bindery defect? No, wait… that’s a chew too…. Also, color loss lower right front cover and left of back cover. Central image area still presents well. That round dark spot inside front cover on upper edge has some texture. It’s some form of soiling, not color touch. I hit both sides with black light. Again, opening bid will be $10 including USPS Priority shipping. Bidding is in $1 increments. Good luck and, like LT said, “Let’s get out there like some crazed dogs and have some fun!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
