It's the most wonderful time of the year! My annual Holiday Sales Thread will begin tonight at 7 PM CST. I'll be listing books over the next three weeks, hopefully ending on New Years Day. Invoices will be sent in early January. No payments are due until that time, and no shipping will occur until that time. So even if you don't have enough cash right now, you have about 3 weeks to save up for your purchases. Its been a great year in the comic business. Between the website and conventions, I have bought thousands of books this year. I've been setting stuff aside all year long for this sale. Many of those books will be offered here for the first time anywhere. There are keys, semi-keys, movie books, high grades, mid grades, and low grades, and as always, lots of books that you just don't see around, and almost all of it will be CHEAP, heavily discounted in some cases! Lots and lots of bargains for the collector, and room for dealers to make money. Lots of Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson, Jim Steranko! Frazetta covers, Raboy covers, Schomburg covers, LB Cole covers, GGA, Pre-code horror, Pre Hero Atlas, and cool Romance books that you just don't see. I can't imagine that you won't be able to find something you are looking for at a very good price. Typical board rules apply. is king! I welcome reasonable offers by PM, but not 30 seconds after the book has been posted. And no editing of I'll Take its. If you click it, its yours. Also, no trading. I can't keep up with that stuff. If you buy something by PM, you still must post the I'll Take It in the thread. Please keep the chatter to a minimum. Payment - Paypal is the preferred method of payment, but I will accept checks or money orders. I also do time payments on purchases (combined or individual) of more than $500.00. You must check with me prior to purchasing for time payments. I prefer NOT to draw payments out more than a month, and if you do time payments with me, you can't be buying other stuff on the boards, while I am waiting for your payment. And typically speaking, I don't do discounts and time payments together. I offer full 100% money back guarantee, whether in the thread or on the website. Buyer pays return shipping. Item must be returned within 10 days of receipt. Shipping - I will ship worldwide. I use Fed Ex on large shipments and USPS Priority for everything else. USA Priority shipping begins at $8.00, and goes up from there. I do not use first class shipping for international. Priority mail is the only option, unless you clear it with me first. I will be listing on 5 or 6 days over the next 3 weeks. Stay tuned for the schedule. All of the stuff in the picture below will be listed in the thread, plus plenty of surprises along the way, Also, lots of fun stuff like treasuries, memorabilia, hard covers, some horror mags, and who knows what else. If you have questions or requests, please PM them to me. Thanks for looking and get ready to grab some books!

The Books Over 50 books, half from Ricksneatstuff and half from Markentoth, all posted by me. I will denote each book with an (R) for me and an (M) for Markentoth. These will be all kinds of gold and atomic, mostly CGC graded PCH, sci-fi and good girl books with a couple war too. Markentoth's books are mostly under copies or books that he feels do not fit in his collection anymore. That being said there are still plenty of Top 3 graded copies and 1 or 2 highest graded. As I like to do I will end this thread with a pretty nice grail book that has not been offered here on the forum before. I know this thread is a bit of an experiment but I thought it would be fun to give the boardies a shot at these instead of going straight to the auction house. This is not a consignment thread- you will be paying the owner of the books directly from the invoice that is sent and we will be shipping to you directly. If you buy something from both of us the shipping charge will be split between us in the invoice so you will still only pay the same shipping total. General Rules   No PL/HOS members  The new board software does not display precise thread post times (either in PMs or in sales threads), which can result in the inability to determine whether a PM post or thread post came first. One thing remains certain - it is easy to tell whether one post in a thread came before another post in the same thread. So, the first "take it" posted in the sales thread wins. If we reach a deal via PM, I'll mark books SOLD in the thread as soon as reasonably possible - but if someone else takes the book in the thread before your PM take is acknowledged in the thread (by either you or I), the thread poster is the winner, I'm afraid; so, there is some risk of losing a book if you try to remain anonymous via PM. (Credit to EC Ed for these rules. I have adapted them with his permission) I kindly ask that you not Quote a book and then make a comment. It makes the book appear to be sold. Payment I'll take PayPal for total sales under $1000 if PayPal is your preferred method. Personal checks, or USPS money orders for total sales $1000 or higher. When the thread is over an invoice will be sent with PayPal address. This thread will run a full week until December 2nd and then invoices will be sent out on December 2nd or 3rd.  I'll expect payment within 10 calendar days of invoice, or the book will be available for sale again (unless we've made other payment arrangements) Time payments are available for purchases of $2500 or more with 20% non-refundable deposit and installment payments so purchase is paid in full no later than 2/18/19. If monthly installments are more than 10 days late or payment is defaulted the 20% deposit will be retained by the seller but the rest of monies will be returned to the buyer and the sale will be nullified. Please PM to discuss time payment before taking the book in the thread. I reserve the right to not take time payments. Shipping Terms USA: $7 for raw and $15 for graded in any quantity Canada: $15 for raw and $25 for graded in any quantity. Overseas- Shipping at cost. I only ship overseas to established board members with references. I now only ship one time a week so please be patient as it could take up to 10 days to ship your purchase. Returns/Refunds General Policy: I will accept returns on raw books within two weeks of your receipt of the books, as long as the books are returned to me as they were when you received them. If there is undisclosed restoration on raw books I will take them back up to 6 months after the purchase. On raw book returns, you cover shipping cost back to me unless I missed restoration or a major defect. There are no returns on graded books.

I have long appreciated Baker's Phantom Lady work, but am relatively new to his romance art. This discussion started in Baker Romance thread but would love to see/ hear your nominations for the Top 10 Baker covers. If anyone here wants to start a poll as part of this- by all means do so. Thanks for your input Bakerphiles. I look forward to the education.

I'd really love to hear some interviews where they talked about Matt Baker, but I can't seem to find anything. Are there any out there? Has Neal Adams ever talked about him? He loves storytelling. Thanks

For sale to start Classic Comics 32 CGC graded 5.5 - $295 A very early Matt Baker Cover, with babe etc. All art inside is Baker.

A raw 7.0 sold on heritage 2 and a half years ago for 380$...well before the current Baker Boom.
