DR.X Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 First in the thread trumps anything else going on. These are my personal books from my own collection. Some of these copies I've had pushing 45/50 years. It's time to let some stuff go. Lots of memories and stories as I put together this run from numbers 1 - 645, all of them. To my knowledge, non of these raw books were pressed. Not selling the 1- 5 yet, and a few others I've picked out. I will start with number 6 an move up. I will post around 15/20 books at a time, that's all my schedule lets me. Once those books are sold or not I will close the thread until time allows me to put up another batch, and then re open the thread. Lots of slabs when we get up into the higher numbers before 100. These are very old books, so please handle with care. U.S. shipping and Canada only!! Shipping is costly up to Canada so be prepared. Shipping will be Priority only unless you want First Class or media. I can ship up to 3?? slabs in one box for around $20.00 U.S.A. Insurance is extra, and let me know if you want it added in. I can ship up to 8+ raw books secure boxed media for about $6.95. continental U.S.A. I had to increase postage a bit as box prices went up like everything else. I prefer checks or money orders only on this sale, so please have funds on hand to purchase. Checks will be held till they clear before books go out, unless I know you're not a stinker. Payment due in 7 days of invoice, not two weeks. Books will be relisted in the next round if payment not received. Please respond to invoices, I don't like chasing people. No P.M's please for discounts ten minutes into the thread. I want to let this run a bit. I offer a full return ( minus shipping ) on anything I sell (including slabs) no questions asked. You guys know the deal if you bought from me before. You have 5 days to contact me after you receive you're book, if you have to return it, or address a problem. You pay return shipping. And please respond to messages in a timely manner, not 5 days later, and I have to keep reminding you of you're purchase. namisgr, BlowUpTheMoon and skypinkblu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DR.X Posted November 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Fantastic Four #12 #18 - Not for Sale ...................................yet This book has a story behind it you may have read already. There was a comic shop in Richton Park Illinois on Sauk Trail, many moons ago. No boxes or racks, just everything in piles on tables all over the place. The guy who ran it, name was Ken Pierce. He use to listen to old radio broadcasts in the shop with headphones on. Smoked like a fiend. We would hit this shop at least once a week as he was getting new stuff in daily. He had a few books on a wall board at the check out. This F.F. 12 was on it. He wanted $30.00 for it, and I thought he was nuts. I would see this book there week after week, until finally I caved in and spent the $30.00. I was livid I spent that much on one comic book. It sat in my box for decades, and then sent it to Joey for a light press, and submission. Here it is now. I've had that book at least 45 years. Like the coin traveling in No Country for Old Men. The picture does not do it justice. The #18, don't remember where I got that one, but it was in the 70's, Edited November 17, 2023 by DR.X toro, namisgr, Timmay and 14 others 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
