Rich's JUNE Pre-Sale s/s thread--Babyteeth #1 (1st day of release), Cable, JSC, Hughes, Seven to Eternity REMENDER, exclusives & more

As with all my previous monthly pre-sale threads, all books are pre-screened and culled from the finest 9.8 candidates.

The costs associated with each post is indicative of all expenses from cost of book, my time, any signature related fees, any pressing that may need to be introduced to bring it from borderline 9.6 to a full blown 9.8, shipping costs anywhere USA door to door, CGC invoicing fees, etc.

I'll be posting ops for books that are physically in hand and pre-screened for 9.8 standards, as well as posting for books that may not have shipped yet, but because due to limitations of availability, I always need to get my orders in EARLY so as to ensure that I have enough for everyone, as well as some extra either for inventory or to make sure that everyone gets exactly what they ordered.  

To be even more transparent, what I need to do is almost (but not quite) double my orders based on the amount of copies board members are looking for.

So for example, if there are ten spots available for say, BABYTEETH #1, and all ten fill up, I'm going to be submitting roughly 14 copies.  This gives me some wiggle room, just in case there happens to be a 9.6 in the batch.  If I don't get my orders in on time, or as early as possible, I'm very likely to miss out on what I can get you for exclusives and variant covers. 

This was recently the case for books like Gamora #2 Mattina and Elektra #2 Granov.

Similar with Seven to Eternity #1.  I waited until the book was on the racks before I offered it in my threads.  As such, it sold out, and I was only able to fill the initial 8 spots, even though there was a big wait list.  So if there's ever the question as to why I may be offering a book months in advance, it's for very good reason.

My goal is to deliver 9.8 graded signature series books, prices listed inclusive of all costs associated with the op right down to shipping.

My prices associated with each post is all inclusive of all costs right down to shipping anywhere USA.  Outside the U.S., I charge additional based on weight of the box.

I've been asked "Can you guarantee a 9.8?"

I can guarantee that I won't be shipping you out a 9.6 , if that helps answer that question.  I'm not a professional grader (meaning I don't get paid to grade, but I've got a really good eye), and I've been doing this for 15 years and I'm pretty good at what I do.  My reputation speaks for itself.

That being said, anything can happen----a book could get damaged, a box lost, it's not an exact science but I am more than happy to grant full refunds if you're not satisfied or you can return the book.   If anything goes wrong on my end, I'll call you directly to discuss which way you want to roll----credit, a discount, a different book or a full refund.

You are either 100% satisfied or we work together until you are!

With that being said, lets roll forward.

In prior threads from 2016 and 2015, there were a few ops where I offered uncirculated books from a resource I have whose stock is literally untouched.

This is a vendor who has a back room straight out of the last shot of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and his back issue merchandise is some of the finest HG copper I've ever seen.

These two early Bruce Timm books I picked up late last year, waiting for my next Timm op (I see him every year at SDCC).  I checked census, there is no data, no graded copies (albeit, this is an obscure book).  These two NM+M candidates will be the first to grade out.  From 1988, Eternity Comics:

COSMIC HEROES #1 s/s Bruce Timm (cover art) - $195 SOLD OUT! to Robert_L and NYC13

Two (2) spots only

Rich - Do you know if any of the Babyteeth variants are limited runs or not?  1:5, 1:25?

 

The Torque variant is 1:1 ratio. Unsure of the store/heroes variants
