One Lonely Little Slab - X-MEN 57 CGC 8.5 $199 SHIPPED 0

[Dr. Balls]

STREET CRED!
I've sold lots of books here throughout the years. Most of my kudos from back then were deleted when they migrated
to the new site, but some are still there. I've been selling artwork, records and comic books online for 25 years.
I go full pickle when it comes to making sure your book is packed tight and gets to you right - just ask around.

RULES!
No probies, hosers or otherwise shady people that I may have on ignore.
Payment made within 3 days of invoice via Paypal or Zelle unless arrangements are made before you post the take.

RETURNS!
If there is a problem with a grade, or issue with the book - let me know within 3 days of receiving and let's work it out.
No returns on CGC books unless something happens in transit.

SHIPPING!

Have NO FEAR. I pack solid. I pack tight. I pack with lots of material. I do not scrimp on packing.
Raw Dogs:
$9 Priority Flat Rate envelope for $200 and below

$14 Boxed via Priority for $201 and above

Slabs:
Ship for $18 Boxed via Priority Mail unless otherwise noted.

International shipping will be via Priority Mail at cost. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SHIPPING COST BEFORE POSTING I'LL TAKE IT.

DOIN' THE DEED:
 Rules the day over PM negotiations. Time stamps are the be-all, end-all way of determining a sale.
If an I'll Take It is posted in a PM and posted in the thread, that book will go to the post with earliest time stamp.

:news:Payment is due within 3 days of the PM invoice date

If you require more time, please PM me FIRST before posting your "I'll Take It" - I'm sure we can work something out.
However, if payment is not received within the specified time period, and no other arrangements have been made,
I reserve the right to cancel the sale and re-list the item. Boom.

I had a few high grade DC stragglers that didn't quite fit into a sales thread, so I'm going to try and blow them out here real quick! Let's see if we can get any takers!

Flash 188 VF+ 8.5 $25 SHIPPED

Spine ticks and a little staple stress, with a hard-to-see color-breaking fold on the opening edge of the F/C. Really nice presenting book, flat, glossy and the colors are super cool.

Phantom Stranger VF to NM LOT of 4 (with bonus) Books $65 SHIPPED SOLD to RedGiant!

Grades:

#35 VF+ with pressable defects, and pen writing on back, which may be a date mark.
#36 VF+ with pressable defects and some light spine ticks, same writing on back cover as above.
#37 NM- with pressable defects on the spine that can get this to 9.4 easy.
#21 VF+ another pressing candidate that could improve the appearance, but not the grade. Spine ticks and top staple stress keep this down.

FREEBIE: #27 appears VF+ with pressable defects, however - there is a stain inside back cover, making this book a VG+

Vault of Horror #28 in FR 1.0 $110 shipped! SOLD TO RAZE!

Classic cover with lower centerfold staple popped, chips out of cover, tears, writing, etc but complete. Cover mostly pulled away from top staple, bottom staple still attached. Some discoloration at staples migrated to the paper - but consistent with a 1.0 grade. The image area is still intact with no major detractions and looks great in a Mylite, which you'll get at absolutely no charge!

G-I in Battle #5 in GD 2.0 $130 SOLD TO Cornelius The First!

Classic cover dead nurse cover with 1" split at top, and tanning on inside covers. Centerfold as tight as that GI's fist on the cover. Bought this awhile back here on the boards, selling it for what I got into it. Solid book with deep blues that are really accentuated when viewing through a super shiny Mylite! I'm even throwing in two sheets of microchamber paper to keep the book from tanning any further - BOOM!

As a color-blind American, I find this triggering.
