Welcome to another thread where I look for good homes for great books!  This thread is going to go slower than some of my past sales, with fewer books listed at a time.  I'm having health issues, and my stamina is badly compromised, so there exists the possibility that I'll only list a handful of books at a time, and the thread might end more abruptly than I'd like.  Optimistically, I'll still get to list several hundred books here, but I'll have to see how it goes.

I have a long history of buying and selling on the boards with nothing but good transactions.  Not sure how long the thread will run -- I'm not feeling well, so it'll depend on my stamina, and how much time I'm spending with my dad  My hope is that everything might be listed by the end of next week, barring something unexpected.  Some of the pricing may be aggressive, some not -- some things I'll be willing to move on and others I'm going to stay firm on the prices. 

What's for sale:  Silver and Bronze.  Books will hopefully speak for themselves. 

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 :takeit: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. hm).

Shipping: Shipping for orders under $500 will be by U.S.P.S., packed securely in boxes, via Priority Mail and at cost.  Signature confirmation may be used for orders over at my discretion and on my dime. USPS Priority Flat Rate will be used when it's cheaper and best suited for the order.  For very inexpensive orders, I might use USPS Ground if it makes a major difference in shipping costs.  Sorry, no Media Mail.  Sorry, only U.S and Canadian orders at this time.  No trades.  Upon payment, I should be able to ship to you within 72 hours of payment (often sooner, depending on how many buyers these threads end up with).  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 purchases over $250, you need to be someone with an established track record here, someone I've dealt with before, or have references or kudos from another boardie. Time payments are available on purchases over $1000, but please contact me first before claiming.

Returns: Returns on raws are accepted for any reason so long as you let me know within 5 days of receiving your order. Return on CGC graded books are also accepted, but in those cases the Buyer will pay return shipping in every instance, where on raws, the 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 have made a mistake or two here and there, but I've always made it right. 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 (thumbsu

So let's get it underway, shall we?   :banana:

Detective Comics #400 -- 1st appearance of Man-Bat -- CGC 7.5 -- White pages -- $380 -- SOLD to jimjum12 in FLASH SALE for $305

Originally purchased here on the CGC boards many years ago as a VF/NM by someone who I regarded as a solid grader, this was submitted in Charlotte at Heroes-Con.  I was disappointed in the grade, but I clearly missed some chipping off of the back cover (mentioned in the grader's notes), which I think was the main factor in CGC hammering the grade.  It still looks far better than its technical grade, IMO.  Grader's notes are as follows: light creasing to cover, light spine stress lines to cover, small, multiple piece out left center of back cover

Planet Comics #44 -- CGC 7.0 -- OW/W pages -- $750 -- SOLD via PM

Not a lot of help on GPA, but there are only 21 copies of this graded higher, and there's only 78 unrestored copies total on the census.  Really sharp colors.  Grader's notes are as follows: subscription crease bottom of front cover, wear spine, very small stain left top of front cover

Brave and the Bold #54 -- 1st appearance of the Teen Titans (per Overstreet) -- F/VF -- 7.0 -- $550

Purchased from Dale Roberts at a show in New Orleans a LONG time ago, this copy has sharp colors.  Major defects would be around the corners, with wear/tears at the lower front left and the upper right rear in particular.  A really nice copy regardless.

Fantastic Four #53 -- 1st appearance of Klaw, 2nd Black Panther -- VG+ -- 4.5 -- $65

Big Apple copy, comes with certificate.  The chip out of the right front cover is what really drops the grade, but it's a solid enough lower-grade copy.
