For Sale: C.G.'s Golden Age Aquisition, April, 2008

[The Charlton Guy]

Yes folks, I am planning on selling off pretty much the entire collection that I acquired today.

The collection starts up in 1943 and has books that go right up to 1960 (the obligatory high grade Little Lulus).

What follows is a list of the books, not arranged in any particular order and not graded (yet).

But the majority of the lot is in the Good to Very Good range, mainly due to the age of the books and the fact that these are original owner, not collector's copies (never bagged, until this week).

I have a photo of all of the books as I received them in the GA Section of the Corral. I will be happy to post scans of any book, just ask.

You all have OPGs, so if you look for pricing for Good and/or Very Good, you will get a good idea of the pricing, but I will of course drop below (or well below) Guide price for all Corral Members. There are a dozen or so books that get up into the Fine range, a few looking better than that. But again, I have to take some time to grade them properly. I will also be adding prices to each book as I grade them.

I expect to have a lot of the oddball books scanned over the next few days, so I will have scans available, and I will update this list with actual grades as I get to each book.

I would like to avoid selling these on Feebay, and would much prefer that they go to fellow Corral Members, so take a look and see if anything interests you. It is a very fun and very oddball assortment of books.

And that's it for now folks, there are a few more, but I'm likely keepin' 'em.

Again, shoot me a PM if you are interested in any of these really cool one owner books.

I do need cash for these, so please, no swap offers (unless you have a really sweet Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #1:D)

All books get new mylars and boards and I will accept either a check, MO or PayPal payment. Free Priority Mail shipping for all Corral Members with a minimum $25 purchase.

Again, grades are going to be added as I get to them unless requested and I will scan them by request only as I find the time, or in the GA Area thread I have going.

Thanks for taking a look!

Dammit. I missed the Fight 31. If the sale falls through, I'll take it.

They are going fast...sorry you missed this one, but there are still some cool books in here.

Feel free to request Grades/Quotes/Scans for any books.

Thanks!

[The Charlton Guy]

Thanks to all who picked up books from this very fun OO collection.

All of your books are shipped and winging their way too you as I type. You should all receive them early next week (if you haven't received them already).

Thanks again. It is always more of a pleasure to share books like this with my fellow Corralers.

Best regards,

C.G.

WDC&S #12 is 1941. If it's really 1947, that makes it Vol. 6 #12. I'm assuming you meant Vol. 1 #12, is it still around?

[SILLYSHIP--pirate eye--]

Damn, I missed the Startling.
