Some are of "file copy" quality and colors and cover art are spectacular! unused coloring books are still vastly undervalued compared to comic books and toys from the same era. 1930 Bibo and Lang Mickey Mouse book, comic book or magazine, depending on your view. COMPLETE with the uncut, unused game centerfold that is normally missing on 2/3rds of the existing copies. 2007 Overstreet lists this 2nd printing as $1050 in good and $5000 in fine with VG then splitting it down the middle at approx $3000.This example is closer to FINE than good, for sure. Photos tell much of the condition story so look closely as I have taken detailed photos with and without camera flash. There are 5 light brown marks on the front cover as well as what appears to be dirt or pencil by his upraised hand. Book is relatively flat and solid with corners bumps and spine stresses as seen in photos. BAck cover rates solid fine, maybe a bit better. Front cover has a very faint discolor visible on the outside and inside of the cover. It is a little more noticeable in the photos than it is in person. Still one of the better copies I have seen of this book. Opening bid is still $500 under VG list and this is better than VG for sure Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool.

PAYMENT-General Info   PAYMENTS- USAPLEASE do not use EBAY request total. I normally invoice within 24 hours. I accept PAYPAL, credit cards (through my own credit card processor). VISA/MASTERCARD accepted with my processor on orders OVER $100 ONLY (you can email, fax or call in your credit card info). Illinois residents add 7.25% sales tax. I usually try to invoice you through the EBAY system BUT sometimes I need to invoice you directly to your personal email address SO adjust your email or SPAM settings accordingly please. PAYMENT-FOREIGN ORDERS (see SHIPPING-FOREIGN for postage estimates)Due to the increased work and fees involved, I am adding a 5% handling fee to all foreign orders so if your order is $100 + $10 shipping then the additional 5% fee would be $5.50. PLEASE NOTE: I also charge for shipping a MINIMUM of 1 pound regardless if your package weighs less (some exceptions can possibly be made for paper items). Please do not bid unless you are prepared to pay for these charges. PAYPAL- payments over $200If you win an item (or items) totaling over $200 on EBAY, PLEASE consider using the E-CHECK method of paying as it saves me being charged fees over $5. For example, a $500 order paid through PAYPAL will cost me about $16. But an E-CHECK has a maximum fee of $5.....even if the order is for $4500 ! The E-CHECK takes 2-4 days to clear in the USA, a little longer for foreign. If needed, I can explain to you how to pay with the PAYPAL E-CHECK. SHIPPING & INSURANCE SHIPPING-USA I PACK VERY WELL. I HAVE BEEN AN ANTIQUE AND COLLECTIBLE MAIL ORDER DEALER FOR 30+ YEARS. As a rule, unless item is fairly small, light, and cheap, minimum shipping and insurance is $8.50 in the USA. It is very rare that an item can be shipped for under $5.00 in the USA. I will try to be flexible (within reason) regarding shipping method BUT generally, I ship items INSURED a) under $300 with the Post Office via Priority Mail b) over $300 within the USA via UPS (insured) only. So, PLEASE DO NOT BID unless you can provide a street address for UPS or have made arrangements with me otherwise BEFORE the auction! c) over $1000 to $25,000 with Post Office Registered Mail (insured)  SHIPPING-FOREIGN Here are sample foreign postage rates (does NOT include insurance) to the following countries: Australia, Brazil, Europe, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, UK: 1 pound box- $11, 2 pound box-$17, 3 pound box-$24 Canada: 1 pound box- $6, 2 pound box-$10, 3 pound box-$14 NOTE- I charge by the FULL POUND, so a 2 pound 4 ounce box will be charged as 3 pounds. I PACK VERY WELL. I HAVE BEEN AN ANTIQUE AND COLLECTIBLE MAIL ORDER DEALER FOR 30+ YEARS.Due to increased fees and work involving foreign shipments, I charge a 5% handling fee on all orders (that’s 5% of item cost and shipping cost combined) PLEASE NOTE: I will charge you for shipping at a MINIMUM of 1 pound regardless if your package weighs less (some exceptions can possibly be made for paper items). Please do not bid unless you are prepared to pay for these charges. I do not give refunds for uninsured items lost in shipping. So far this has only happened once in 10 years. ===================================================================== INSURANCE- I have an insurance policy with Collectibles Insurance Services, Hunt Valley, MD which covers my insurance on outgoing packages so you might, in some cases, see no evidence of insurance (tags, bar code stickers, shipping cost, etc) on the actual shipping box even though you paid me for insurance. ====================================================================== SELLER INFO Offered by DAVID WELCH author of COLLECTING PEZ 1995 and Pictorial Guide to Plastic Candy Dispensers 1991. You will notice that the very few negative feedbacks I have received in over 10+ years are from: 1-non-paying bidders who retaliated for me giving them a negative first 2-sellers who RETALIATED after I left them a negative (for selling me a bad item or giving extremely poor service) 3-those rare people who seem to never be satisfied no matter what you do 4-the occasional random psycho 5-people who do not READ the description or terms of my auctionsIf you have questions about any negatives I have received, feel free to email me and ask. HOW I HANDLE FEEDBACK If I am the seller, I give feedback AFTER the buyer does. Why? When the buyer leaves me positive feedback, it indicates they are satisfied and the deal is completed. I ALWAYS give return feedback in such cases. If I am the buyer, I leave feedback first and hope you will do the same. I do not beg, pester or threaten people over feedback and would appreciate the same from you. THANK YOU TO THE PATIENT AND REALISTIC PEOPLE WHO MAKE 98% of EBAY DEALINGS A PLEASURE. ============================================================================= Place a Bid!
