Most of the Modern Age Books I am listing - I have around 2,000 - are books I got when we owned our Comic Book, Sports Card, Toy Store.  We closed the store after 1996. I bought, sold and graded comics then but did NOT collect them.  My partner talked me into getting a subscription along with our customers. I agreed but told him I did not want run of the mill Marvel or DC books [Mistake??].  He put them aside for me each week / month. What I got was several long boxes of alternative publishers or out of the ordinary Marvel and DC books. Time to start selling them! Not one of them has EVER BEEN OPENED or READ!  Shipped in plastic between stiff cardboard and with delivery confirmation.
