Quick sales thread , I will leave this thread open for 24 hours, and will than move these 2 books to a sales thread I will be creating on the CGC forums with around 20 other raws and slabs.

Found a TOTE #16 I had forgotten I had, I have 4 other copiesl…this is the only copy I am willing to let go raw and unpressed as the CGC grade would be capped around 3.0 if pressed due to the detached cover.

Book has a solid spine otherwise and exceptional page quality….off-white to white IMO. Displays nicely in its’ Mylite2 with 2 Gerber full backs.

$280 shipped within the US via USPS Priority, double boxed. I will reuse mycomicshop box for the inner box abd a cardboard box or a ISPS Priority box as the other box.

Payment accepted by check/MO or via mycomicshop gift card vouchers if you prefer to pay via credit card.

Book ships with $280 coverage thru USPS.

I put this book at a 2.5, no resto or conservation. Detached cover. No cutouts or pieces missing from interior. All pages accounted for and attached at centerfold. Book has been dry cleaned, not pressed. Nothing other than standard dry cleaning performed on this book, all I did was use cotton rounds and absorene putty on the cover. No eraser work and no light treatment of any kind either.

I will ship within 1 business day of receiving payment.

I’ll ship worldwide at cost (but rounded up or down in $10 increments) via via usps 1st class international shipping with a $15 credit applied. I’d only accept payment via mycomicshop gift card vouchers from an international buyer.

Phantom Stranger #14 is about a 2.5, everything attached no cutouts etc. Not pressed, no resto/conservation.

About a 1.5” area on the FC and first few pages has ripping from water contact, very little tide lines.

Moderate tanning on cover, pages are still supple, probably a cream pages designation, not that this book is worth slabbing.

$30 plus $10 for USPS ground advantage. Ships in a silver/gold polybag with 5 backing boards.

Claim both books, and the $10 shipping fee for the PS #14 will be waived.

Packed separately in mycomicshop reused boxes, bundled together in a larger cardboard box via usps priority insured at full purchase price.

To claim the boook(s) simply post your claim in this thread and I will DM you with my payment details.

Checks must be received within 5 business days.

Credit card payment via mycomicshop gift card store credit vouchers must be received to my email account within 24 hours.

I have shipped out over a thousand comic orders, I know how to package books to avoid damage and references are available.

100% positive feedback as an wBay seller.

Returns accepted as long as I’m notified within 1 week and the book is received by me in same condition as it was shipped to the buyer.

I may add a few other books to this thread before I close it tomorrow but I doubt it, I am only posting these 2 books up here because a boardie is looking for a TOSE 16 and the PS 14 is also a prototype issue.

I will be set up at a small con in south NJ off exit 10 of 295 this Sunday being run by Frankenstein Comics, you can pick them up in person and I’ll shave the cost of shipping off.

Got a table last minute due to a cancellation, I haven’t set up at a con since 2029….and this is the only con in the area that always had around a 1000 attendees or more, so it should be fun.

Phantom Stranger pictures:

Edit:

Took this pics while processing books for my boxes this weekend a few hours later at night….lack of natural sunlight is a boner killer so I am adding a few more I took with my camera flash on…

I had forgotten about this copy of TOTE 16.

This is the only one of the 5 copies I own that I would let go at a lower price as the others need to be slabbed before I get around to doing anything with them. A detached cover hammers grades and you depressed interest in a copy to read and “play with “ so 🤷🏻 🍻

Afterthought about my refund policy on either of those books:

Refund would be given via a personal check from me whether you pay via check/mo or credit card via mycomicshop gift card store credit voucher.

My eBay feedback can be viewed below.

I mostly use mycomicshop and a LCS for consignment, though.
