Selling Complete Pre-Unity/Unity Run Professionally Bound

Post by TravAzz »

I'm selling a complete run of Pre-Unity and Unity in a custom 3 volume custom hardbound collection. The auction has the breakdowns of all 3 volumes.

Some extra info for the serious collectors. All the comics bound are first prints. Non of the coupons or cards were bound because they make the book not lay flat. This is for your reading pleasure. I also had the Alpha & Omega trade bound, this is because the inserts were cardstock and the tpb was paper. This also makes the book lay flat.

The Valiant logo is on the spine, and Jim at Library Binding will work with the winner if they want to get the cover stamped.

These look REALLY nice... I'll have to watch them.

Having a logo on the cover would be sweet as well.

If it were me selling this great collection, i'd be pretty damn satisfied with the final price, good job man :thumb: If I were the winner I'd be in photoshop working on some cool dust-jackets to laminate 8-)

Holy Crap. I know what to do with reader copies I find. $335? :o

All of the bindings that I've seen use cover material that looks like it's something that came out of library from the 1970s. Is there binding stuff that has a newer look?

Binding seems like a good thing, but I'm not going to do it if it means that the books look like I forgot to turn return books to my old, sterile University library.

Well I got outbid. My max bid was $330.00, which was just about as high as I would go. I thought I would win at that price. I hope someone here won it. It is a really cool item IMO.

Your completed auctions of bound editions is impressive. Kudos on the final price.

You may already be aware of this thread that we have here on this site with regards to bound volumes which may be of interest as well
