catrick339 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) SO! Being a retiree from the plumbing wholesale biz for five whole days now, and it being a horrid week of weather here in the Wilds of Michigan, I've decided to amuse myself for a couple days with a sales thread while I wait for the outside temperature to rise above 12 degrees, DA RULEZ I'll put up a big scan of the FC, note anything else I spot, and as always, if you'd like a scan of the back cover I'll be happy to supply it. Shipping to USA preferred, but if you want something sent to Canada or overseas PM me and we'll work something out. rules the roost, but PM's, kibitzing, and general tomfoolery are welcome. $7 Priority flat shipping to the USA, one book or a stack. Canada or overseas to be determined. For the bargainminded I can ship one or two books First Class for $4 CHECK OR MONEY ORDER PREFERRED, I just plain out don't like paypal. If you just GOTTA pay with paypal PM me and we'll work something out. Returns for any reason on your dime, and for any missed major flaw or bad description on my dime. My Kudos thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4287314#Post4287314 Here we go! Thrilling Crime Cases 44 Great L B Cole cover, but the critters have been at the upper RH corner of the book. Every single leaf has at least a nip out of it, right on up to the back cover which is intact. First two leaves have small bites out of the art, but the mouses had the kindness to not touch either the word balloons or the captions, so the story is intact. Grab a solid reader that displays well for $20 Edited January 20, 2018 by catrick339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catrick339 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) All right, here's the Big Gun for the thread. Crime Patrol 15 First appearance of The Crypt Keeper, this is the title and story that starts it all. Great looking copy with a couple flaws. I'm posting FC, BC, and an enlargement of one small section of the BC, because I'm asking a pretty aggressive price for this one. Front cover is sharp, good gloss, minor general wear, and short sub-type crease that doesn't break color, you have to hold it just so in the light to see it. Back cover is just as glossy, but has a few small rust migrations from other books along spine, and mid-spine there is an apx. 1/4 x 1 piece out, looks like a mouse or bug chew to me, see the third image. 4.0? 3.5? 4.5? If it doesn't sell I'll have it pressed and slabbed. Interior is tight with offwhite - white pages. A 5.0 recently sold for $3000 according to GPA analysis. I'm asking $1200, firm, or I'll send it out for the press and the grade. SOLD! Edited January 15, 2018 by catrick339 Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
