PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

*** I have been buying, reading and collecting comic books since 1959. *** I have been buying and selling comic books ---- full time ---- since 1972.

SELLING?

*** If you have any books FOR SALE [ANY grade] that are dated BEFORE 1969, please contact me with the total QUANTITY [approx.] of books for sale, and the TITLES and NUMBERS of the issues. Finally, in order to determine [I do NOT provide a free professional APPRAISAL service] that the books are REALLY for SALE ---- PLEASE do NOT contact me UNTIL you have included your ASKING price for the WHOLE group.

STORE POLICIES

INQUIRIES: In order to hold down the costs of preparing, and marketing the large volume of SCARCE items listed on my store site, I find that I do not have the TIME to respond personally to ANY specific requests for ADDITIONAL information [Scans, book content, descriptions…etc.] on ANY of my store listings, EXCEPT listing ERRORS.

I have provided an unusual amount of detail [covers and pages] with every book Listing --- INCLUDING a professional RESTORATION check that identifies any [significant to GRADE] ALTERATIONS to the ORIGINAL [Tape, color, fill etc.] printed state of the book.

OFFERS: In order to encourage serious negotiations that may help a buyer secure a DISCOUNTED purchase, I have provided the \"make an offer\" option on ALL of my listings -- with the following conditions:

If the offer meets with my needs at the time that I receive the offer, I will ACCEPT the offer -- BOOK SOLD.
If the offer is reasonably close to meeting my needs at the time that I receive the offer, AND ---- if I think that further negotiation has a REASONABLE chance of success, I will respond with a COUNTER-OFFER.
If the offer received is NOT close to meeting my needs [Please note that many of these \"offers\" are LESS than the current WHOLESALE purchase price] at the time that I receive the offer, I will DELETE the offer. To all those buyers --- whose offers are close [but in MY judgment are still too low] to receiving a COUNTER-OFFER --- I apologize, I do not have the time or the manpower available to respond or decline these low offers.

And finally ----- to all those who frivolously submit RIDICULOUSLY low offers --- I make NO apologies ---- because you should KNOW [or you will soon learn] ----- you are wasting your time.

PRICE GUIDE:

While I recognize that the \"Overstreet Price Guide\" has been a valuable reference and price tool since 1970, there are very REAL limitations that are either IGNORED or UNKNOWN to many buyers.

ITEM #1] OVER 80% of ALL the books listed in the \"price guide\" --- are OVERPRICED ---- MEANING that they have a lower [average] REAL market value than the \"price guide\" listed price.

ITEM #2] A small [1% - 5%] of ALL the books listed in the \"price guide\" --- are UNDERPRICED -- MEANING that they have a higher [average] REAL market value than the \"price guide\" listed price.

I SPECIALIZE --- in older, scarcer, more desirable books ---- many of which have an [average] real MARKET price GREATER than the \"price guide\".

response:

Due to the recent \"response\" policies has enacted, I now receive NEGATIVE response from \"BUYERS\" [DEADBEATS] who NEVER PAID! ---- OR --- troublemakers that have been BLOCKED, who then commit MORE unwanted mayhem by using ANOTHER ID for the SOLE purpose of leaving NEGATIVE response! ------- This is --- INSANE!

As a result of this [and OTHER] kinds of response sabotage, I no-longer take NEGATIVE response seriously. Think about it ---- an seller who is CONSISTENTLY receiving POSITIVE response from buyers on a REGULAR basis, is a much more significant indication of customer SATISFACTION than the isolated and UNRELIABLE negative remarks of a trouble-maker.

Due to the large volume of store listings that I maintain, I regret that I can only leave positive response to buyers who REQUEST response by sending me an email with a LINK to the book(s) that sponsors the appeal.

DISCOUNTS:

I will consider larger discounts on any GROUP of books that I have in my store listings. The size of the discount --- will depend upon how MANY books are in the group . You may email me with your group list and your OFFER, and I will respond to your offer under the SAME conditions outlined above under \"OFFERS\".

SCANS:

ALL scans that appear in any of my store listings are the ACTUAL scan of the book you will be buying. I do not believe ANY book should be listed by using a SUSTITUTE --- \"stand-in\"--- scan that can only leave you guessing.

CAUTION: Due to the large volume of listings and scans, SOMETIMES ---- for example, a \"VF\" SCAN will [in error] be posted with a \"VG\" listing, ---- and vice versa. Therefore, if a scan or a description does NOT appear to be accurate --- then it could be a LISTING ERROR.

\"SLABBING\":

I have NEVER \"SLABBED\" a book. I find it unnecessary to burden the buyer with the added cost of paying for an INCONSISTENT, UNDEFINED, and more importantly ---- an UNACCOUNTABLE \"slabbing\" service of DUBIOUS value ---- by a BIASED 3rd party.

CONSIDER: The seller sponsers the \"slabbing\" of EVERY book by PAYING the \"SLAB\" company to describe a book. The seller would NOT pay for this \"service\"--- UNLESS --- the eventual BUYER is willing to pay MORE by not only RE-IMBURSING the seller for his \"SLAB\" fees, but rewarding the seller with a HIGHER sale price!

Remember: the \"SLAB\" company is ALWAYS paid DIRECTLY by the SELLER, and KNOWS that if their customer [the seller] does NOT yield a HIGHER PRICE for the books that they submit for \"grading\", then ---- they have NO incentive to CONTINUE to \"SLAB\" books for sale. Therefore ---- it is necessary for the \"SLAB\" company to OVERGRADE a book to insure a HIGHER price. Should anyone REALLY believe the claim that their \"service\" is that of an UNBIASED 3rd party?

A buyer\'s BEST average long term value when purchasing vintage COMIC BOOKS, is to buy ONLY from reputable dealers with a 100% unconditional return policy GUARANTEE --- AND ---- one who applies CONSISTANT and DEFINED grading standards for the books that they sell.

The ONLY \"slabbed\" books I have sold or will sell [a few a year], are JOINTLY owned. ALL of the \"slabbed’ books that I have purchased, are \"LIBERATED\" from the slab as soon as I buy them.

GRADING DEFINITIONS

CONSERVATION: Usually \"sealed tear(s)\" that are done using \"archival\" techniques and materials [like \"rice paper\" OR \"archival tape\"], and that are reversible without further damage to the book.

REPAIR: Usually \"sealed tears\" using invasive and NON-REVERSABLE materials ----- like non-archival tape, glue and extra staples.

RESTORATION: Usually chips, or pieces of the paper that are MISSING, and that are RESTORED by filling with archival \"rice\" paper and then adding COLOR[usually acrylic paint] to cover the blank white paper fill.
