WALL OF TEXT

Shipping: Books will go priority shipping or first class, depending on the circumstances and postal/sexual preferences of the buyer. And at your expense.

Payment: Checks, M.O.s & well concealed Cash are accepted.  And trades are great if you've got high-grade stuff to alure the elder four-color collector.
No Poohpal, Venmo, livestock, beads (especially not THOSE kind), trinkets or jewelry.
 
Grading: I have been in the hobby for almost 50 years..., yes, I am ALMOST Social Security drawing old. I try to be conservative in grading, and have cracked about 400++ slabs, so am in tune mostly with CGCs random grading practices through the ages. I can show you 9.0s that are 9.6s and 9.6s that are 9.0s. Consistency-shartmistency.

Return Policy: Yep!  However, please don't try to return something because you failed to read the detailed description. Would really prefer not to take returns on CGC graded stuff - I will pull the grader notes for you if you want - I'm a subscriber! Of course, it seems most of the time they are "unavailable"..., probably for good reason.

Doing it:  You can do it in the thread, you can do it via PM, you can do it in the road.  In the case of ties, it goes to the PM. In the case of the road..., man, I am not therapy, but I think I have been there. 

Kudos Thread?  I don't have one because they are stupid, worthless and weak.  I have many credible and incredible references available upon request. Even some Canadians. Which I ship packages to frequently.

Tales of Suspense #75 OW pages. First appearance Miss Piggy.  Errr...., Peggy Carter. Errr...,  Sharon Carter, Agent 13, Batroc the Leaper. Peggy Carter cameo.   $600.

This was a Payette 9.0 copy that I purchased from a boardie aways back. I liked my existing copy better. Some spine tics for grade – 8.5 minimum, and that would be my grade. None of the age dis-colorization often present in this issue.  My scanner adds all that apparent foxing like stuff, both front and back. The book itself is nice and clean. I have the original purchase scan that I can pm interested parties.

 SOLD!!!  
Brave and the Bold #89, CGC 9.4 OW/W pages. $175 due to slab damage.
Batman and the Phantom Stranger

Looks like Robin is a little stiff in the background.  I do not have a back cover scan/photo of this one, but the BC is clean and white. I can try a photo with my cell phone if interested. The slab was damaged in shipping when it was sent to me - see lower down pics.  There is no damage to the book. Phantom Strangers seem to be boinking the sky lately.

I have made major inroads into my Baby Huey collection this month. But duh, I still seem to have duplicates. If you're a Baby Huey fan, my condolences. But buy this - it is one of seven highest graded copies, and does not have cream pages, so is therefore sexier than your......., girlfriend. And pm me for a bountiful list of undercopies.
