DESCRIPTION
Three bound volumes, issues 82-104, etc -- please see below for complete listing and informationHere's what's in these three handsome professionally bound volumes (cream pages in all volumes):
***Volume 8: Feb. 1952-June 1953. Comics on Parade Issues 82-90. Nancy and Sluggo issues 19-21.
***Volume 9: Aug. 1953-Sept. 1954. Comics on Parade Issues 91-100. Nancy and Sluggo issues 22,23.
***Volume 10: Oct. 1954-Feb. 1955. Comics on Parade featuring Nancy and Sluggo. Issues 101-104. The average grade on these issue is VF+ 8.5 with several bound issues looking like NM- 9.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The guys at ComiConnect.com thought you might like to know how I came into possession of the bound volumes, well here is the story- I work in the construction business and 15 years ago I was working in an old building in Manhattan doing a demolition job. I was working in the basement and 1st floor of the building and came across a pile of boxes that were waiting to be thrown away. I started looking through them and there under some old newspapers I made this find. I had thought I hit the jackpot, but 15 years ago the market on Bound Volumes wasn't as strong as it is today. In fact I was offered $50.00 for all of 24 volumes by a local collector. I thought to myself, for 50 bucks I am better off keeping them on my bookshelf and coffee table to share with family and friends. After discussing the books with a local collector I was told about ComicConnect.com and this Auction. I thought to myself, the time is right to sell. I will be sorry to see them go but good luck to whomever wins them. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
