Stuffyduffycomics https://www.ebay.com/usr/stuffyduffycomics OUR STORY - While living in Greenwich Village in the sixties. There was a little store off Bleecker that specialized in underground comics. Every Friday afternoon after work, I’d go there to see what was the latest version just hitting the shelves. With several of my hippy friends grooving, and laughing over Comics, we’d sit around that smoke-filled room, sometimes late into the night. Fast forward, some fifty years later – my wife and I discovered some old cardboard boxes hidden behind junk in the back of our storage locker. It was a dry, cool place and the hundreds of underground comics that had only been read once, were in beautiful condition. It felt like we discovered a pot of gold. We wrote to dozens of book and comic stores with a list of our inventory. They said, there was no interest, no market and offered us little to nothing for the collection. We explained to them that these were complete sets, first editions. To the retail outlets they were worthless, but to us they were priceless. Now we offer them on E-Bay and the collectors are grabbing them up, at our more than fair and reasonable prices. Many we had universally certified with CGC, so you’ll know we’re trustworthy, reliable and have the best of service. Just check the feedback and reviews to know we’re honest and responsible. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and hope you buy them now while they still are available. First come, first serve. Thank you again for your time and interest.
