The background story to these books …

Having bought 4-5 boxes at a time of a multiple issue collection of books from the bronze/copper ages over the past year, I had a chance to pick up the last 20+ boxes of the collection. It was supposed to happen in February, but three things made me hesitate. First, the remaining boxes were modern books between 1990-present.  Not really my collecting interest.  Second, 95% of the books were DC.  Again, not really my collecting interest.  I hummed and hawed the rest of February, until I finally decided to pick up the rest of the collection.  Then, the third thing happened: the pandemic. After 2 months of isolation, the owner felt comfortable enough to allow me to come over.  After a few hours of practising social distancing and going through the boxes in the garage, I sealed the deal.  The pictures below are of the haul.

One of the reasons I decided to take a chance and buy the moderns has to do with the quality of the bronze and copper books I had previously bought from the same collection.  This time, as I went through the boxes and pulled some books to sell, it soon became quite evident that the owner was a completist and rarely, if ever, read the books.  Most of them look as if they were placed immediately in the boxes and stored.  Last week, I sent about a dozen books off to CGC to be slabbed.

I tried to select higher grade books (I think many of these, after a press, have a solid shot at 9.6/9.8) that have done well once slabbed if that’s your thing, or perhaps you’re just looking to fill some holes in your own collection.  The books you will see in this thread are Batman-themed-heavy. There are other odds and ends that will be a part of the sale as well.  I plan to list around 170 raw books over the coming days, and the thread should last until May 31st. None of the books have been pressed.  The slabs I mentioned above will likely go up for sale once they make their way back to me, sometime in July.

The Rules …

  • No hos/probs;
  • Payment via PayPal; in Canada, E-transfer is preferred!
  • Shipping via Canada Post within Canada, up to 5 raws, is $15.00, shipping to the US via Canada Post, up to 5 raws, is $20.00; anything over that limit will need to be determined; International OK, but shipping will be need to be determined based on where you live.
  • I reserve the right to ask for references.
  • Returns and refund okay if you see something I missed; shipping on you; please notify me 1 week after receiving the book(s).
  • The first :takeit: (or variant thereof) in the thread claims the book(s) and trumps ANY negotiations via PM! I’ll mark books SOLD as soon as I can, but if another Boardie beats me to it, then he/she is the winner!
  • Please provide payment within 2 days of receiving my PM with the total.
  • PM with questions, for additional pics, and/or reasonable offers.

Posting at least 50 books tonight, and we’ll see how this unfolds over the coming days … Posts and pics on their way …

:news: Thread has been cleaned up indicating SOLD BOOKS (see 3rd post below for updates)
