Surfing Alien's Gasp! 2024 Golden Age paperbacks sale.

I find it hard to believe that 2024 is here, it's one of those years that science fiction authors wrote fantastical stories about when I was a teenager. Well the truth of today's world is stranger than fiction in many ways but I'm still here reading and collecting and as long as I'm doing that, I'll also be selling because my shelves and closet are busting at the seams. There'll be tons of Science Fiction, Horror, GGA and Mystery and maybe some things in between. Some cheap stuff and some big books. Hopefully, a little something for everybody

I've been buying selling and trading Vintage pb's since the Hancer Price Guide came out back in the 80's. Been on Ebay since 1998 with 100% positive feedback.

I tend to grade paperbacks in the manner of current pulp grading: Poor/Fair/Good/Very Good/Fine/Very Fine

I'm a high grade collector so my books are almost all Very Good and better if they're available in those grades. Many pre-1960 books just aren't available in high grade often so I try to find solid Good-Very Good ones if I can.

The rules for this thread are:

-No HoS or Probation list buyers

-I will ship to Canada but will have to quote shipping options.

-Payment via Venmo or Paypal preferred. I also can do Zelle although it is a bit more of a pain to do.

-Shipping via USPS Media Mail for $5 or Priority Small Box for $11 for the continental United States. More than one book I will ship at the least extra cost practicable. Shipping for Canada will be quoted.

-First :takeit: in the thread wins and prevails over pm offers
-Returns accepted for 14 days after delivery but please let me know asap if you are unhappy for any reason and I will make it right. I do miss things occasionally.

Feel free to pm with offer or questions. I'm always open to reasonable package offers.
