Rich's JULY pre-sale thread with SDCC 2019 Exclusives

Welcome to my JULY 2019 Pre-Sale thread----lots of great stuff to announce as we roll through the month.

With three huge shows behind me (East Coast, Niagara Falls and Heroes), I'm now focusing on SDCC (and Shore Leave----please see that guest list!)

I'll be starting this pre-sale thread with several SDCC convention exclusives, featuring ARTGERM foils, Dodson & Cho foils, Dark Horse MIGNOLA exclusives, etc.  

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 arephysically 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!

Detective Comics #1000 JeeHyung Lee variant s/s JeeHyung Lee+ no less than five Batman creators on the book.  Most likely folks like Tom King, etc, probably even Bruce Timm.  Because of the price points involved in costs associated with the book and signature fees, this one is priced higher than some of the other Detective #1000 variants that I offered earlier.

I'll start with 7 spots - $295

To me, this one is something special.  I've got two copies in hand of the late Dave Stevens cover to AIRBOY #5.  These will be signed by his wife, Brinke Stevens.  She modeled for him for many of his covers.   Can't get Dave, but I can get the next best thing.

AIRBOY #5 s/s Brinke Stevens - $255

Two (2) spots, firm

@n2wdw

My wife often says "you don't even know what you have!"  She's not wrong. I knew I had another copy of that Airboy somewhere, and in my office I found a short box with a thick brick of Dave Stevens books that I purchased many years ago. I will post each one more properly once I have an opportunity to pre-screen in about an hour or so. Similar price points on each book signed Brinke Stevens.  Just need to research them a little more.

n2wdw, if you still want this third and final copy of airboy 5, I will put it to the side for you. Send me a PM with your details.

One more Aiboy #5, but full disclosure, I personally feel this is going to go more to the 9.6 / 9.4 range.  I could be wrong---it might get 9.8.  But I'm going to error on the side of caution.

Airboy #5 Dave Stevens cover, s/s Brinke Stevens - $195

Cheval Noir #1 (Dave Stevens cover) s/s Brinke Stevens -   SOLD! to Taxmick1

There are 7 blue label 9.8 on the census, one 9.4 s/s (highly unlikely it's a Stevens s/s) but looking at GPA, a blue 9.8 just went for $261

This would be the 1st yellow label 9.8 in the census

ONE COPY
