Rich's MARCH pre-sale thread: DOMINO #1 , Campbell variants, Action #1000, Daredevil #600, Captain America #700, Amaz. Spider-Man #800, Guardians, Infinity prelude and more---
7 7

218 posts in this topic

Welcome to my MARCH 2018 Pre-Sale thread----lots of great stuff to announce as we roll through the month.

This is a month with many landmark moments in comic book history---Action Comics hits it's 1000th issue, Amaz. SM #800 is creeping up on us, as is Captain America #700---and all sorts of variant covers.

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.  

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.

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.

There is just ONE (1) addendum that I want to throw out there----and that's special requests. I have no problem at all with special requests-----if you see something is coming up and you want me to try and work it, just LMK.  Just because it's not in my thread, doesn't mean I can't/won't do it.  It's just that it may not be something I am looking at.  One other notation about special requests, is that sometimes I am asked to add special additional things  to a book you're interested in from the pre-sale thread.  For example, a remark, or an additional signature.  

I don't typically have a return policy for pre-sales since you are requesting an item/order specific with full disclosure of what you will be receiving.  However, you are either 100% satisfied or we work together until you are!

ALSO, I am attending many shows this year, and can not only take your books and carry them from show to show (within reason) to add signatures, but if you want to explore the option of adding something to a book from the pre-sale thread, please LMK via PM.   Here is the link to my first half of the years (show's attending)---I'll be adding more -- including SDCC and a few Wizard World shows---in a month or so.

 

With that being said, let's roll forward.

ACTION COMICS #1000-----this is a big one.  There are going to be a BUNCH of variant covers for these, including several LCS specific covers.  I'm offering just one flat price for each cover, to add as many signatures as I can onto the book without it becoming ugly from all the sharpie.   Because the book itself comes out just after C2E2 (which is unfortunate, a number of sigs could be obtained there).....I'll probably be starting the line up of sigs sometime in May, going through to Heroes in June and possibly wrapping up at SDCC.   I'll keep you updated on the signatures applied but the targets are Jim Lee, Dan Jurgens, George Perez, Brian Bendis, Steranko, Marv Wolfman, Louise Simonson, Paul Dini, Bruce Timm ---anyone I can find in relation to the book or Superman mythology.

No less than five signatures per book would be ideal.

I'm going to start by promoting my own LCS cover variant by Kaare Andrews

Action Comics #1000 (Third Eye/ Kaare Andrews variant) - $175  signatures will vary but will try to maintain a healthy selection of the above. Hopefully I'll see Kaare at a show and can add him too.

Blue universal 9.8 optional - $95

Rich - Are there signature costs on top of the $175?  Or is that including the signatures?  Assuming it is the former but want to be sure.  Also do you have run counts for each variant?

@Drbearsec That's the flat fee.   The $175 is all inclusive of the signature costs, grading, shipping, etc plus any pressing that the book may or may not need.  But the short answer is, there will be NO additional fees beyond the quoted $175.
