I have some odds and ends with no real plan of what I'm going to post. Suggestions are welcome. Maybe I'll put up some  
things folks are interested in.

The Really Boring Fine Print:

Purchase and Payment: I accept Zelle (I think this is the way to go now), USPS money orders and checks (cashiers or  
personal) unless otherwise noted for any specific book or lot; books cannot be shipped while payment is outstanding and  
checks will have to clear (according to my small town bank, usually about 10 business days). No PayPal. Nope. No PayPal.  
If there's a payment method not on my list which you would like to use, let me know via PM. Please, no HOS or  
Probationers. Payment will be expected within 48 hours unless sending a check or money order by mail or unless otherwise  
agreed to.  You just have to let me know what your plans are and I expect to hear from you within a reasonable amount of  
time after your purchase.  This helps me get my shipping out to everyone quickly without having to make separate trips to  
the post office to ship one package at a time and I appreciate that courtesy.  I reserve the right to cancel sales to  
buyers who don't follow through in a timely manner after making a purchase in the thread.

Returns: The buyer has three days from the day of receipt to inspect purchases and notify me that they wish to return  
some or all of their purchase. Books must be returned in the same condition as when they were shipped. Buyer is  
responsible for return shipping costs unless they're being returned due to an error on my part. Disagreement over grading  
is not an error; enough scans can and should be provided so that doesn't happen.  

Mailing Costs: The US postal service no longer ships packages by First Class.  Ground packages must be sent by USPS  
Ground Advantage (3 to 5 business day service).  The price of sending any package by ground is dependent on your zip code  
(if you're in the US) vs. mine  I can't tell you in advance exactly how much it will cost to mail a package with a few  
raw books by ground, but I can tell you a maximum price if you're in the zone furtherest from me on the US east coast.   
Odds are you won't be and, once I know what you're buying and where you are, I can estimate the cost more closely and it  
will almost certainly be lower than the maximum.  If you're buying 1 to 3 raw comics (double sized books might count as  
two), maybe 4, your package should come in under a pound and the maximum price on that is $9.00; anything over a pound  
I'll ship Priority Mail ($18.40) as there's not much of a savings advantage (anything between 1 pound and 2 pounds costs  
the same to ship), unless we agree on a better option.  I'm open to keeping mailing costs as low as possible as I,  
personally, don't like paying any more than necessary for shipping and I will extend you the same courtesy.

One to three slabbed books will be $18.40 Priority Flat Rate plus the cost of insurance (strongly recommended) and any  
necessary tracking (again, highly recommended but I think that's usually included in the base fee now), and exact  
shipping for more than that if I can't use a flat rate box (also in the continental US). I can mail to some places  
outside of the U.S. for exact shipping costs but check with me as there are currently some destinations I can't ship to.

Miscellaneous: You're welcomed and encouraged to PM me with offers but the first unconditional :takeit: in the thread  
trumps PM discussions. You know..., the usual stuff. :)

Additional scans or clarification of condition are available for any book upon request.

Some sellers like to keep chatter to a minimum in their sales threads and that's fine.  I, on the other hand, enjoy some  
friendly comments and good-natured banter in my thread as most of you have pretty wicked senses of humor.  Or, just say hello.

I also have a Copper/Modern thread going which can be found here:

My kudos thread: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/241444-jim-corrigans-feedback-thread/

Hopefully, I've covered all of the bases. Thanks for looking.

Cheers!

Photo Journal Guide to Marvel Comics, Deluxe Limited Edition # 1122 - Ernst W. Gerber  $150 Sold!

1842183045_00Marvelbookfrontcombined.thumb.jpg.a78a9fd1dd691690b971d53acd4a61de.jpg

The Deluxe Edition of the Photo Journal Guide to Marvel Comics, limited to a print run of 2500, combines both of the standard Marvel volumes into one high quality, bound edition.  Protected by both an attractive glossy dust jacket and a sturdy slipcase, the combined book and slipcase weigh in at a hefty 7 pounds.  The book itself is an oversized 9 3/4 inches wide by 13 3/4 inches tall with the slipcase being slightly larger in each direction.  The faux leather book covering is padded underneath (I don't believe the standard volumes are) giving it a very elegant feel.  The paper is a quality, bright white stock with a glossy finish.

The Deluxe Edition has a few extras not available in the standard editions.  Each copy of the Deluxe Edition is individually signed on the title page by none other than Stan Lee, himself, so you not only get this stunning collection of Marvel comic covers but also a coveted Stan Lee autograph.  Mine is neatly signed in blue ink.

1071584225_02aMarvelStanLeesig.thumb.jpg.8fd4e134e86c1e47d41896acebf52b77.jpg

The Deluxe Edition contains 7,950 cover photographs, including 16 pages of Atlas covers not included in the standard editions.  Among those are cover photos for Tales of Suspense 1-18, Tales to Astonish 1-19, 52 of the first 69 Journey into Mystery as well as many other Atlas titles.

Here's a picture of the book without slipcase:

... and some interior pages of cover photos...

In addition to the cover photographs, there are lists of relative value based on several factors which accompany each title.

I've tried to maintain the book as well as possible but there are a few signs of age.  After all, it is almost 32 years old...

Some pictures of the wear on the slipcase:

One last thing... there's a small impression on the back (directly to the left of the penny) where something got inside the slipcover and the book lay on top of it.  I don't think it's very noticeable but a bit of the cover flaked away.  You won't see it with the dust jacket on.

This should qualify as media mail so shipping domestically plus insurance should be around $11.

I've spent many enjoyable hours looking through this and I hope the buyer will enjoy it as much as I have.

Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books, Volumes 1 & 2 - Ernst & Mary Gerber  $125  $112.50  Sold!

This is the two-volume set of mostly GA cover photos.  As a point of reference, Batman covers run up to issue 150.

233276170_GABookOnecombodustjacket.thumb.jpg.7c77445ab4294f470f8f8951345ec57e.jpg

868417479_GABookTwocombodustjacket.thumb.jpg.ce232cf04a5f2e2d7468a53029df05ba.jpg

The two volumes contain 21,000 cover photos between them.  The books are the same size as the Marvel volume, 9 3/4 inches wide by 13 3/4 inches and each book weighs approximately 6 pounds.  Both books are in excellent condition, showing very little signs of their age.  (I wish I'd looked that good at 32!)

Shipping will be by USPS Media Mail and should run approximately $15 with insurance plus tracking.

Here are several interior pics.  Sorry they're a little blurry.
