The book arrived with a large corner crunch and color breaking crease that wasn't there in the listing photos. Ugh. I'm giving up on eBay. Ruined my night (I know, first world problems, but still super depressing). Sending it back for a refund. I would have packed it tens times better. But I would have never sold it to you so it's a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormboy Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Turns out the seller packaged it well, but the USPS opened it up and threw it back in without the packing material. It was sent first class, so the only thing I can think of is they removed the duck tape he used and replaced it with masking tape. He told me he used duck tape, and I read somewhere that they don’t allow it. Anyway, if anyone wants it he’ll probably have it up for sale again soon. It’s still a cool book, just doesn’t meet my minimum grade any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormboy Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Well, mine either really, but I give a little for ‘one of a kind’ items like this. To be perfectly honest, I was going to swap the interior book with a better copy, as the outer cover was much nicer than the interior, but then the outer cover got damaged.

OtherEric Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Fresh in today. This actually gives me all the DC Giant Comics to Color, and all of them are 100% uncolored, so I'm quite happy there. I can once again claim I have all the DC tabloid editions (excluding New Fun, of course.) I've also got a clean copy of the Captain America issue, so all I need now is a copy of the Spider-Man one. Unfortunately, even colored copies of that one seem to be rarer than uncolored copies of any of the other, and an uncolored copy? I'm going to be looking a while for that one...

01TheDude Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I've never seen a double cover treasury book-- shouldn't that be a keeper just for the rarity? maybe they happen more often than I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you, or anyone else consider buying it, please check out the post I'm about to make in the blocked eBay User thread. I didn't want to clutter this thread, but felt obligated to tell my story.

I had already decided to forget it, I contacted the seller and he went on and on about having to make up the postage he spent, how only the inner cover counts, etc, etc. He said he was listing it higher, and I said no thank you. I will be happy to read your story, the seller gave me a headache;) so I can just imagine. wormboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he may roam these boards and knew there would be buyers waiting so jacked the price based on more possible demand.....hmmmmmm Edited November 25, 2017 by Obi-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormboy Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Sorry for the thread derail. Back to some Treasury Love. This was the hardest one for me to find (of the Marvel Treasury series): Non-Whitman Close Encounters (now I need an upgrade ) I think I have them all now, unless someone comes up with another Whitman I haven't seen.
