THREAD CLOSED "Buy Me Before I Go To Get Graded At CGC" -- Shock SuspenStories #13 (Only Frazetta solo story for EC) and Detective Comics #259 (1st Calendar Man) -- ONLY bump and price reduction-- Closes tonight! 1 1

[ChiSoxFan]

So, these are two books that have been offered before, but I'm planning to send them to CGC this weekend, so this is the last chance to snag them while they're raw!  

I made this promise with a Planet #44 and made good with that (a book that ended up coming back higher than what I thought I had graded it conservatively at originally), so grab these before they're bundled up with a stack of other books I'm sending off!   

Also, check out my large Copper/Modern thread currently going on HERE.

What's for sale:  Two books (for now).  Both have been offered for sale before, but they're headed to CGC next if they don't sell!

About me: I have had a very large number of transactions that have gone very smoothly with many long-standing members here, including many, many sales threads -- you can see my kudos HERE .   I've done deals with so many people here, I've almost lost count!  If anyone has questions, don't hesitate to send a PM and I'll do my best to answer them for you. 

I'll be happy to answer any PM's, but the in the thread is king if we haven't come to a definitive agreement.  If for some reason someone takes it in a PM while someone is taking it in the thread, the time stamp as best as I can figure out will determine who gets the book.  Books must be specifically claimed in the thread or via PM. 

No HOS or Probation List members, please. I reserve the right to not sell to anyone I may have on ignore (not that it's many people, but if I do have you on ignore, it was for a reason. ).

Shipping: Shipping will be by U.S.P.S., packed securely in a box, via Priority Mail and at cost.  USPS Priority Flat Rate will be used if it's cheaper and best suited for any order.  Signature confirmation may be used at my discretion and at my cost.  Sorry, no Media Mail.  Sorry, only U.S and Canadian orders at this time.  Upon payment, I should be able to ship to you within 72 hours of payment (most likely sooner).  I always charge exact shipping or LESS (and eat some of the shipping cost on my end) to keep costs down for you, so rest assured, I'll do what's best to make sure you end up with everything safely and as least expensive as possible.  My packing, as reflected in my kudos, will overcome anything a carrier can throw at it.

Payment: PayPal G&S only preferred on this thread, no personal. If wanting to pay by check or money order, I'll do so only if I've done business with you before, but please contact me by PM first.  Payment is expected within 5 days of an invoice unless you check with me before buying.  For these books, you need to be someone with an established track record here, someone I've dealt with before, or have references from another boardie to purchase.

Returns: Returns are accepted for any reason so long as you let me know within 5 days of receiving your order. Buyer pays return shipping, unless I've made a clear mistake, in which case I promise I'll make it right.  I feel my grading is solid, but I'm as human as anyone else and might have made a mistake. In the end, the main thing is that I want anyone purchasing here to be happy when they're done and feel they can buy with confidence.  Hopefully, my lengthy track record will speak for itself

Shock SuspenStories #13 -- F- -- 5.5 -- $400  $350

Piece out of top right corner of front cover, otherwise I'd grade it higher.  Small color-breaking crease lower right front cover.  The only Frazetta solo story he did for EC (at least according to Overstreet).  I don't want to sell this one, but sacrifices must be made (ask the lady on the cover!  ).  Sharp-looking book with great colors, and it's one of my favorite covers from the run!

Detective Comics #259 -- 1st appearance of Calendar Man -- F- -- 5.5 -- $400  $375

Awesome cover on this book, and not a book you see all that often in my experience.

It is a wonderful cover from a series with some of EC’s best covers, like issues 6, 7, 12…

One and only  with a sole price reduction on both books.  If they don't sell by tonight, they're off to CGC!

And with no takers, these are headed off to CGC.
