TREEHOUSE - update on big collection

Yup, new thread & new theme for the Treehouse. I realize at this point I have an edge on grading, so when you have an advantage you might as well push it. Thanks to in-bag (or in-pile) grading, it can be a crapshoot as to whether you get a great deal or a clunker. Every store is different, my luck hasn't always been great, but if you have a favorite store, or are a seller yourself, feel free to chime in. The advantage of Treehouse is you should plan on going 10 for 10, 20 for 20, whatever. It's certainly the goal.
As for those comics, some new ones are up, here's a rundown -
bronze age Superman
old, low grade FF (many are less than half guide)
Sub Mariner (70's series)
cheapie Marvel Conans, as well as some Savage Sword mags
Marvel Feature (Ant Man)
Human Zipper (Human Fly, whatever)
Kamandi
Weird War Tales

IMPORTANT UPDATE - I'm changing postal rates. Not by a lot, but I've been getting a little pressure at the counter about the media mail stuff. I haven't had any problems yet, but I'm going to adjust things so priority is a little more tempting & media a little less so. Yes, media is still okay, I'm just hoping to nudge a few orders the other way.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 2 - Back in August I talked about a big collection that was in the works. As of today, a chunk of it is now in the house & ready to be listed. I hope to buy it, but for the moment it's going to start out as a consignment deal. I even offered to skip commissions at the start just to get the ball rolling. This is heavy duty, I'm pretty excited. What I have now consists of Captain America, Daredevil (the biggest pile), Conan, Tales Of Suspense, Tales to Astonish, and Sub Mariner. All the early Iron Man are here too, although they weren't expected as a few of those I want for myself. Some will go up though. These are all from about 1973 and earlier, and some are in amazing shape. If you like scans & details, there will be plenty, just keep in mind it'll take me a while to get everything up, 30 a day is my goal. It's about 300 books, or about 20% of the collection. These will all be labeled "JA Collection" in item details, partly just to keep myself organized.
Alright, I've spent way too much time typing & comics are calling. More soon - Doug
