I am offering approximately
700 books from an OO collection purchased in
Maine (hence the Moose reference!). The collection was amassed between
approximately 1946 - 1973, with the primary collecting years of 1949 -
1962 (when the owner was about 13 - 26 years old). The bulk of the
collection is comprised of Fawcett and Dells, with a few DC and other
publisher's titles scattered here and there. The condition ranges from
coverless to NM, with the majority of issues in the vg/fine realm.This is likely the greatest # of Marge's Little Lulu books (1948 - 1974) EVER
posted on ebay!!!! If my math is correct, I am offering 125
separate issues. Included is 119 out of the first 137 issues so this is
a near complete set of the earliest books!
Because there are so
many issues I am not going to be going into the normal amount of detail
as I do for each book. I will give the grade and PQ for each, and
indicate any significant defects. If you want to know more about a
particular book, just let me know. If you want scans of a book not pictured, please let me know.
These books stack about 1 1/2 feet high and will all be in mylites and boarded.

Unfortunately
the subscription creases keep most of these issues in the VG range, but
they usually present much better and obviously the Maine air did
wonders for the PQ over the last 40-60 years of storage
Bid with confidence. I am proud to say that I am an Advisor to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. To find out more about EsquireComics.com check out my  page!
The Network of Disclosure is a group of comic book dealers and collectors, who have
pledged to disclose any form of restoration detected on a comic book in their possession
or placed by them for sale. Our objective is to create a safer and more open environment
for those buying and selling comic books. By publicly sharing the history of each of
these books with our fellow collectors and customers, we seek to foster both a greater
level of confidence and sense of security within the marketplace.
Our ultimate goal is to provide peace of mind to those who wish to continue the enjoyment
of and the investment in these childhood treasures, and to guarantee the long term health
of the hobby.
If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks, you must contact me first to have a purchase honored. Sorry to new ebay users, but too many shills bid on auctions.
