@flanders thanks! I have a raw somewhere as well, but was inspired by the great copy you posted to acquire one for my JLD collection while they are still reasonably priced.

I just can't buy a DC book. I just can't. I can't bring myself to do it.

This is a casualty of the negative space contest and was right inside the door of the venue. 9.6 is bs, 3 non color breaking ticks and three reader dents don't qualify. This will be re done in cbcs for sure. Hitting the same grade would be the ultimate goal. I just know it can look better.

Lesson of the day: if a vendor won't open the book so you can look at the back, walk. I trusted him because I was so jazzed. my awesome pickup of the day went south.

By the way, if said vendor is wearing sunglasses indoors its because they don't want to make eye contact.
Hey Brian,
I think I bought a book from that guy at the last Livonia show. It was an ASM #69 with a great Kingpin cover. He did not want to take it out of the Mylar. I got lucky on mine being I spent $55. on it. That guy sets up frequently. I would take the book with you to your next shows in case you see him again. I would want my money back. Hopefully you did not spend too much on it. With the ASM 69 I offered him less money due to the fact that he did not want to take the book out. I think he had $65 on it and I offered him $50. He came back at $55 and bought it. After seeing your book, I will not do that again especially on a book over $50. Did he happen to have a bandana on his head too? A thinner, tall guy about 60 yrs old?

I got the whole, “someone is coming back to buy that”. Guy said he didn’t take any payment so I could buy it. Basically I sniped someone if that was true. I look at as I deserved what I got and karma is a bitch.

Or, he was making it up to pressure you to buy it.

Yeah any book in a mylar I'll ask the dealer would they mind taking the book out for me so I can look at it.
Then I'll get them to put the book back in.
If they refuse I decline the book immediately and move onto the next booth.

Exception is the bulk seller with broken boxes that's selling books from the 60s to 80s in old bags with no backing boards for $2-$7 each.
I usually walk away with a stack and you have to be unlucky to have problems with them. And the books are so cheap you're walking a way with wins.

The moon knight 1 I bought was bagged and boarded and honestly with the price it was tagged at(and he even gave me more of a discount) I didn't even think to check the back since I could see the spine well. Thinking back I should have taken it out of the bag to see the back cover for sure, which he would have been fine with him sure. Luckily the back cover looked even better than the front so no problems there lol

I think he made it up. I also like to be transparent when I sell too. For example, I have a beautiful Godzilla #1 that looks like a 9.8 candidate. However there is a black marker mark about 2" long along the very back bottom of the book. So I have it noted on the back of the backing board. This way they can see why I am trying to sell it so cheap.
I guess we can say that this is a good reason why books are graded and slabbed. Peace of mind is a good thing.

Nothing major, but here are highlights from the first two boxes. 10 more to go.




Box 3 had a Superman 204 Newsstand edition.




So, I’m almost finished sorting these and I have two nice stacks of fun reading, personal collection pulls & books to be sold individually.

Here are some from the potentially fun reading section.



Here’s a sample

Running out of space, here 😆.

He says this next batch has lots of 90’s Batman & Spider-Man books he’s decided at the last minute he can’t bring with him. Sounds promising.

Just purchased this beauty from forum-member @Donnied. Love the F-86 and I collect negative racial stereotypes. Over 70 years old! Great deal, perfect packaging, would recommend!
