CAPA-alpha 2 issue lot : Ibid 285 Jan 2010 &CAPA-Alpha issue 543 Jan 2010 plus 2009 Year end Review PLEASE READ ENTIRE TEXT INCLUDING PAYMENT & SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS TO INSURE SMOOTH TRANSACTIONS! FYI: I will be listing fanzines, convention program books, issues of Mediascene, Outre, Weird Tales pulps and assorted other publications this week so check my listings for great buys. An amateur press association (APA) is a group of people who produce individual pages or magazines that are sent to a Central Mailer for collation and distribution to all members of the group. CAPA-alpha (sometimes abbreviated to K-a) was the first amateur press association (APA) devoted to comic books, started by Jerry Bails in the United States in 1964. Number of copies is usually limited to number of members of the particular APA and a few extra. In the case of CAPA-alpha I believe membership is held to 50 so this is a very limited publication in regards to circulation and is rarely seen for sale. These publications are thick with long time fans musing on various topics some of which are: Top comics of 2009, reviews of select comics and books about comics, a retrospective look at Fantastic Four issues #52 – 53, articles particular facets of comic collecting plus much more. Also includes several reprinted illustrations and covers by renowned artists such as Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson. IF YOU WIN MULTIPLE AUCTIONS PLEASE WAIT FOR UPDATED INVOICE BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT FOR FIRST AUCTION YOU HAVE WON. This item along with all others that I will be putting up in the coming weeks is from my own collection and I have made every effort to be as thorough as possible in describing significant defects that affect its given grade. My collection resides in a smoke free home and since I absolutely will not tolerate any cigarette/tobacco odor I have never bought any paper collectible that has even the faintest odor of smoke. I have been buying and selling comics for 40+ years and consider myself an accurate grader of comic books and collectibles but I realize the art of grading is subjective too some degree and that the interpretation of the grading criteria can vary. If you have changed you mind and want to send it back you may return the item for a refund of the winning bid and initial shipping costs BUT RETURN SHIPPING COSTS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. REFUND IS CONTINGENT ON RECEIVING ITEM BACK IN THE CONDITION IT WAS SENT. YOU MUST NOTIFY ME WITHIN 7 DAYS OF RECEIPT IF YOU INTEND TO RETURN ITEM(S) . I will refund return shipping costs if I have missed a major defect or restoration. Therefore PLEASE review scans and ask any questions before you bid on anything I'm offering. However my time is limited so please ask ASAP so as too allow me time to review your questions and reply. PAYMENT & SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS: Options for domestic shipping of this non-slabbed comic book/pulp/magazine with Delivery Confirmation: Priority Mail: $11.25 Media Mail: $5.00 You choose which method you prefer. These prices are good for single item lots only. I weigh all lots including those that include multiple items prior to listing to guarantee that my shipping charges will reflect approx. cost as charged by USPS. Once the total weight of comics and packaging exceeds the First Class Mail limit of 13 oz I will include shipping rates for Media Mail as a low cost alternative to Priority Mail. If you win multiple comics/magazines I will combine them to save you on shipping costs but PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO SEND UPDATED INVOICE BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT FOR ANY ITEMS! FAILURE TO WAIT FOR UPDATED INVOICE WILL JEOPARDIZE ANY COST SAVINGS IN SHIPPING YOU MIGHT HAVE ACCRUED. If possible give me a heads up if you think you might win more then one of my auction items please. If there are multiple end dates I will still combine as long as all items end within 6 days of each other ... read more
