Buddy, just a quick note to say thanks for a really good experience in selling my comics. I had also approached a large New York City buying group, but even a week later they had not even responded, although it took you only three hours! Believe me that in the future I will come to Lone Star Comics first. Your professionalism and courtesy are first class, and I greatly appreciate the service. Please feel free to use me as a reference to anyone who might want to know how exceptional you are.

Buddy, Conan and Ben, You will find attached a list of the comics I am shipping to you. A agreed, we are splitting the locker collection 50/50. The amount due to me for your half is $1620. I can never say enough about the Saunders family and Lone Star Comics. My operations have grown since becoming a buying partner with you several years ago. Nothing is more fun than working with your crew, everything from W-transactions, buying collections, and consigning with you. I have a lead on a good-sized collection close to me. My hunt for great comic collections never ends, as you saw the finds today in my earlier e-mail.

As a young boy I had remembered reading a very old comic in my mother’s cupboard. I was always told to “put that back where you got it.” When I was 32, I saw a 20 second CNN news clip about the most expensive comic book collection ever sold. I was shocked to see the comic I read as a boy--Marvel Comic Vol. 1 No. 1 from 1939. Right away, I called my parents (who had moved twice sense I was a boy). I asked about that comic and told them the story. The said that it was left in the old house so we chalked it up to fate. Well, fate intervened again and the Midwest floods of 2008 brought water to my parent’s basement. As my mother was moving some boxes ahead of the flooding, she found the old comic Marvel No. 1. The next four days I read as much as I could on the internet about comic books in general and Marvel No.1 particular. The most informative web sight was “Lone Star Comics.” I found the staff at Lone Star Comics more than ready to offer their assistance.
Buddy, my point of contact at Lone Star, made me feel very at ease even though I was very uninformed in the process I was undertaking. He was always ready to offer third party points of contact so that I (if I chose) would be able to get a second opinion on any information he was offering me. Because Buddy was so informative, I stuck with him during the whole sale of this comic (one of very few that survived the WWII paper drives). I would like to thank Lone Star Comics for making what could have been a very stressful event into a true adventure.
