Trading DC Horror books

[drbanner]

Hmmm...don't have any of those I'd be willing to part with at this time. Let's see what the future holds though!!

[bcc]

I'll be at the Wizard World Chicago next week and I have a really nice copy of Unexpected 118 as well as a few other issues and some other nice Silver and Bronze age. I don't know my booth # as I'm sharing with another dealer but you can ask around for Boyd at Black Cat Comics.

I can also point you to another dealer that has a near complete run of the Unexpecteds, most in the VF to VF/NM range if anyone wants.

My turn, my turn!

 

I've got the following book for sale. 70 bucks and its yours, priority shipping, insurance, and delivery confirmation included.

 

House of Secrets #116 CGC 9.4 (Luis Dominguez cover)

 

Happy to email a scan if anybody wants it.

 

I'm also willing to trade, if you've got any slabbed DC horor (70's or early 80's) at 9.4 or better that I don't already have.

Where the heck have I been? Didn't see this thread.

 

OK, as you guys know, I unfortunately sold like 150 Gems a few months ago. I've been weeding out from the good, bad, and ugly.

 

First thing I'm doing--any "VF"ish copies will be sold as a lot supa cheap--just want them out of my hair (what's left anyway). Probably do this on eBay.

 

Second thing--I have tons of duplicates in the DC mystery books. I am in the process of submitting 200+ books to CGC. When they come back, I'll post duplicates that can be used for trading.

 

Third--there's some solid 9.0 books that I will probably sell raw. I'll post those books here once I'm done sorting.

 

Thanks Dice for referring me here.

[BassGMan]

Sterling, you know me... I'm a VF lot buyin' guy for those DC bronze horror books. Let me know when you are putting the lot up on Ebay just in case I miss it. OR, if it really is supa-cheap and you want to sell it direct then PM me with a list and a price. Thanks-----Sid

[october]

Sterling....PM me when the lot on EBay is up!

[sterlingcomics]

man...this weekend ENTIRELY wasted on organizing my books, filling out CGC invoices---I wish that the data entry system was conducive for speedy results. You sit there waiting for 20+ seconds for another form to appear as you get closer to 30 books. Looks more like 300+ books

Yeah, tell me about it. I fill out my CGC forms through Heritage to get the 20% off. Very slow, plus when I was nearly done two times the system quit on me and I had to start over . I think I timed out due to being so slow. Now I prepare my published dates and etc. in advance so that I have all the info ready when filling it out rather than looking it up as I go. I'd rather just fill out a paper form with all the same info like I do with PGA orders.

 

Overall, I usually don't think it is time wasted though, although it is still boring. It is being productive, just not the most fun part of the hobby.

 

I'll tell ya' one thing though, it sure beats putting together card sets like I used to do. Now THAT is boring. ----Sid

[sterlingcomics]

here's my point. Let's say I'm going to submit Witching Hour 1-30. Why should I have to type in the freakin Publisher and title 30 times? Arghhh!

[drbanner]

Comicsheet(?) has said previously that he submitted an invoice in hardcopy after creating it using XL or something. CGC also has hardcopy invoices, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't create your own version and send that in, sure would save a lot of time!!

 

I only send in 25-30 books at a time so it's not that big a problem to plod through the on-line invoicing system, but if you're really going to send in hundreds at a time, it might be worth a call to them to see if they'll accept alternative submission forms.

[sterlingcomics]

thanks for the tip! What the online form DOES provide is an invoice number-but I guess they could assign it one when the books arrive
