About me: I've been collecting for over 50 years and have derived considerable pleasure from my collections. Some 35-40 years ago I even tried my hand at selling books at local conventions and (briefly) operated a storefront. When that proved unsuccessful I pursued a more mundane career, packed away all remaining stock and stored it in a spare room away from dust and humidity. I continued to expand my own collection over the years, but have reached a point in my life where it's time to start divesting myself of some of these treasures. I hope to find new homes for my "precious"es so that they may continue to be appreciated. When I present an item as "brand new" it will be from my old stock. The most I will claim for items from my personal collection is "like new." I will try to describe each item accurately. If you have questions, feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer, provide additional photos, etc.
