Been buying and upgrading a lot of books since my last sale thread. Also, cleaning out the junk pile collection a little. Got a full box of books and misc weird stuff that has been piling up. I don't have time to do them all now but am planning the big sale in two weeks. This will give you a taste of what is coming up. Probably my last one of the year. Thread crapping is always welcomed!

Rules:

No problem children or HOS members.

Postage is $5.00 each for up to two comics, very well packaged. I will combine postage on multiple purchases. All will come with tracking. 

I prefer to sell only to US addresses but might make an exception if I know you.

PM's and offers... I am trying to sell this stuff and want to get as much listed as I can. I try to price fairly. I probably won't have a lot of time to review PMs if I want to get this stuff listed. An "I'LL TAKE IT" icon takes it first. So, keep that in mind if you want something. When I get done, I will review PMs (in order of when they came in). If you have a question (other than a lower offer) post it and I will try to answer you.

Payment is by PayPal within 3 days FIRM. I will also take checks and money orders if you let me know after I send you an invoice.

Returns: No hassle returns within two weeks from when tracking says it was delivered. Return postage is on you unless I make a gross error and in that case I will "man-up" and pay return postage. I don't expect any returns though as I've only had 3 or 4 in 40 years. 


This stuff all comes from a smoke filled, varmit infested, mouldy junk house. (Just kidding!) Here we go...

Here's a VERY cool item you will just never see for sale here on the boards...

BEANY & Cecil 1962 full color Lampshade. 12” round x 7-1/2” tall. Pictures: Beany, Wong,

Hunny Bear, Dishonest John and Capt. Huffenpuff (No Cecil he was the base) Excellent, un-used condition. Old store stock. Cool huh?  Not hard to find the lamp but the shades are always gone

Was $75.00 (postage will be determined by buyer's location) This is very light but will need to be double boxed. Shouldn't be more than maybe $20 I would think.......Now $65.!!!

Pulled from this sale...

Voodoo #5 Jan 1953 Farrell Publications

Awsome, black cover. Has just sick interior stories including a Nazi Death Camp story that has to be read to be believed. One of the best issues in the run and super hot right now.

Cover is neatly detached from book. Has a couple of old tape stains at staples inside covers. Small piece out of lower spine. Several small edge creases and general wear. Bright and glossy cover with nothing missing. Centerfold well attached to book. Interior pages are yellowed but supple with no damage. Looks great in a mylar. Grab yourself a toughie.
