(a Note of Thanks);
Dear Doug, I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the consistent and remarkable service you've provided over several purchases at your store. Your passion for comics, coupled with your expertise and unwavering helpfulness, has made each visit an absolute pleasure. Your dedication to customer satisfaction instills trust and confidence, making it a joy to return time and time again. I'm sincerely grateful for your assistance in building my collection. Here's to many more enjoyable visits in the future as I slowly crawl through your website. Warm regards, Elias B.

Dear folks at Comic World, I wanted to take a moment to jot you a note of thanks for your care in packaging the bevy of Doc Savage paperbacks I recently ordered from you (through AbeBooks). I suspected that, comic folks that you are, they'd come in their own plastic bags, but putting the lot into a larger plastic bag, before slipping the whole into a large post office envelope, was nothing less than sage. The post office managed to drop the parcel into the ocean (it arrived still wet, if you believe that), soaked through. While the packaging crumbled upon my touch (after being removed from the plastic bag the post office put it in), the books were dry as a bone. All for which, my thanks. All the best, James Gifford, AbeBooks Order No. 109532548
Hello again, Doug. A brief note to let you know the magazine ordered arrived today.
Wanted to say am most impressed with your high standard of service.
Your painstaking attention to detail relating to the numerous items on your website is extraordinarily helpful.
Added to which your swift response to my enquiry resulted in this initial order.
The publication in question arrived professionally-packed and was exactly as described: in A1 condition.
Very few so-called "vintage" periodical sellers offer this level of customer care, as you are no doubt well aware.
Looking forward to doing business with you again in the not too distant future.
Feedback: 10 out of 10; Thanks! Warm regards, Greville Bogard

Hi
Doug, I felt it important to take the time to write this up, and get
it to you. It is heartfelt. I am grateful. *** Doug Sulipa is in a
class by himself. I am no big or particularly important buyer, but he
treated me as if I were. From start to finish. What’s more, I
was a first-time buyer, my mind somewhat boggled by his truly
amazing/ extensive inventory. (You really should do yourself a favor
and check it out.) Yet he demonstrated the greatest patience with me,
despite my cluelessness! Throughout the deal, his conduct was
absolutely exemplary. Doug is that rare kind of gentleman who sets
his own standards in dealing, at a higher bar, instead of just “going
with the marketplace.” We all benefit when we support such
leaders, for they are already few and far between, and grow only
scarcer with passing time. If you should find yourself “on the
line” about dealing with Doug, whether purchasing a complete
store inventory or getting your hands at last on those few books
you’ve been looking for forever, I can advise you with full
confidence to “do the deal.” I can do so because I know
you will consequently be 100% pleased and in no way disappointed, and
that I am sure of, because Doug Sulipa will make damned sure of it.
Thank you, Doug. I am looking forward to our next deal. Paul Hampton
Crockett / Miami, FL

Doug-- very recently i have dealt with several other dealers-- most or some of whom you would know-- on small size/ small- dollar ebay deals. and while most have been OK, a couple have not. and then, i figured out what the problem is-- after dealing with you for many years and many deals, i now expect the same level of courtesy, service and just plain old all- around good fun, that i always get from you ( and your team ), from everyone else that i do a deal with. and, let me tell ya-- this has not always been the case-- trust me! i guess you've spoiled me! so, Doug, i just wanted to say "thanks" for everything again. and, i guess i know where to shop from now on-- only one place! yours, Philip

"I saw Mr. Sulipa's ad in the Overstreet Price Guide for years, but I never considered doing the 'mail-order' thing until recently, when I kept on lucking out at the local conventions. I was always afraid the books would arrive damaged, missing books, or worse yet, not at all! But after spending a few minutes on Doug's Comic World website, I could tell he was no fly-by-night operation. After exchanging a few emails, I placed my order, sent payment and got ready for what I thought would be an agonizing three-to-four week wait. To my delight, I received the books just over a week after having mailed my payment, it had been raining that day and the box was wet, but when I opened it (filled with dread) the comics were dry as a bone! The packing, done with care and consideration, the quickness of the books' arrival, and the professionalism of the whole operation made this first-time mail-order buyer's fears melt away! I can't recommend Mr. Sulipa highly enough! I look forward to dealing with him (and ONLY him--he's got everything!) for many years to come! My humble thanks, --Darrin M."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doug, Just to let you know that I just received my magazines, each exactly as described. You put the bar pretty high and it shows: I appreciate a diligent pre-sale dialogue, the flexible payment options and the epic comic selection. These warrant the highest of fives: Thank you Doug! - Jean T., Berkeley, CA USA

Hello Doug, I
mention your name so often around the house that my fiancee told me,
"Well, it sounds like you need to get off your butt and thank
him!", and she was right.
I have been reading (high-lighting,
notating, underlining) your Market Reports over and again from the
beginning. It is a fact that when I took a few years away from comics
in the '90s I still bought the OSPG primarily for your reports. Your
attention to details, mentions of facts that everybody else
overlooks, variant reports, etc. always enthralled me. When I started
doing marketplace reports for CBM ages ago it was your reports that
influenced what I wrote about, and how I did it. That interest you
sparked in me was also what got me to join the APA-I and index titles
that others thought not worthy of indexing...until I noted what they
were missing out on. This past year I wrote to Mark Huesman inquiring
about doing a market report. He gave me the go-ahead and it was one
of the biggest thrills of my life! I composed it right in the middle
of a long relocation cross country, on a laptop, in small motel
rooms, but it was the most thrilling writing experience I have ever
done. Granted, it was done as "Paperpeddler Rare and Esoteric
Comics and Collectibles", a partnership that no longer exists,
but Mark and I have chatted about it and he is really pushing me
along to get another rolling for next year's issue, and under the
guise of where I belong, Offbeat Archives. Soooo... Even though I am
incapable of keeping anything short, I just wanted to thank you for
all you have contributed to me, the community, giving me the
inspiration to take the path I have, and showing me how to love every
minute of it!
If there's anyone that tells you they are your
biggest fan then, well, they have NO idea! Hope all is going well
with you, Jeff Rader, the newest Overstreet Advisor
Doug, The tapes arrived yesterday and let's just say that it's a good thing that someone bought Chris underpants for his birthday. He couldn't believe I found 4 such rare tapes! He's been collecting tapes for 20+ years (he has over 5000) and he's been looking for these for a LONG time. I felt like a hero! All the tapes were in such mint condition that he swore they were brand new! We rocked well into the morning (I just got home) and I showed him your awesome website,so I have a feeling he'll be ordering from you quite a bit. I thought $49.00 was a bit much for one tape but he said that I got a bargain for how rare they are. He went to school with the guys from Gemini and getting those tapes made his year. Thanks again for making me look sooooo good and for the honesty and quality your company delivers! I collect 80's rock magazines so I'll be doing some ordering myself! Your MY hero- Brian |

Hi Doug, It was only after slowly looking through the latest (underground comix shipment) that I realized there were no Crumb or Shelton books in this latest pile. This is truly a shipment of "weird" comix, even by my estimation. I seem to have MOST of the "famous" comix and a good deal of (what I call) second tier undergrounds. The comix I really LOVE to find, are the ones I have never heard of... Who knew "Super Jesus" or "Ebon" even existed. I didn't until I bought them. I just want you to know Doug, that your service is greatly appreciated, and I am very impressed by your ability to source these odd treasures. You remain my ONLY online source for comic books. I see no reason to buy from anyone else. .. Eric
----------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
On Thursday my merchandise arrived safely, so thanks for the excellent service. You've been a first-rate mail order company at least since 1980 when I placed my first order. Comic World enables me to fill holes in my collection I had almost given up on filling, and the fast shipping is also a big advantage. John Warren ------------------------------------------ |
Hi Doug, I definitely appreciate your going the extra mile on these. It's amazing how few people "get" that service is the name of the game. You've definitely made this a much happier Holiday Season for one Canadian Cartoonist. Thank You, thank you, than you again. DAVE SIM (creator of CEREBUS the Aardvark)
Hi Doug, I just wanted to thank you again for the great comix score. As I said on the phone, I did not think I'd ever come across such a huge and diverse selection of original undergrounds. Not to mention the majority are virtually untouched by human hands. You have increased my total comix collection by about 20%, and filled a lot of holes on my want list. Thanks for the discount and the free Feelgood. Totally unexpected and a very kind gesture. I will be talking you up to every comic lover I know. Your shipments have caused quite a few jaded eyes to open, and a few mouths to drop.
I will be checking your website on a regular basis, and if your stock keeps coming in, I'll be buying more in the future. These past three weeks have been some of the most exciting days in my 32 years of
comic collecting. This stuff is like pirate gold to me. I do have a very small wish list if you'd like to keep me in mind. I think if anyone can find copies of these rare books, it's probably you Doug. I'm not expecting to see any of these soon (if at all), but you are full of surprises. I never thought I'd have the Air Pirates, either! Smiling from ear to ear, Eric
Doug, I wanted to let you know the books arrived on Friday and I am very happy with them. Your grading is spot on and conservative in most instances. I was duly impressed, and I am hard to impress. Thanks again. This purchase was successful, so let me know what manitoba Avengers and Thors you may have as well. Thanks again, Very Truly Yours, Brian Ketterer
All-Time BEST Comics DEALER Ranking #4 = Doug Sulipa: One of the most frequently praised dealers anywhere is Doug Sulipa. Known for his incredibly vast inventory and extremely strict grading as well as his annual reports in the Overstreet guide make Doug one of the greatest and most important dealers. Doug does not just cater to high grade or low grade but has tremendous inventory to serve all his customers. He is responsive to customer needs and deals with them professionally. Not only does his inventory span all the eras, Doug is known for honesty and the ease in dealing with him in transactions. Of all the dealers on the list, I can't think of any detractors or anyone who has been a customer of his that has not had words of high praise for the experience. In today's world, that seems like a difficult and noteworthy accomplishment. Foolkiller on CGC Forum
Hi guys, I just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks regarding my recent order. I had purchased a copy of Druillet’s ‘Urm Le Fou’ and was extremely pleased; it arrived nicely packaged, and in exactly your described condition – a beautiful copy. Regrettably, I bought a copy from another seller a few weeks prior and was very disappointed by the service (description vague, book arrived damaged, etc.) It was, needless to say, much more gratifying dealing with you, and I feel that my money was very well spent (an all-too-rare sensation these days!) I am interested in similar works of psychedelic/fantasy/underground art, and would welcome recommendations from your stock. Thanks again for the exemplary service! Best Regards, Jason Bonaquist
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doug,
I just wanted to tell you thank you. The first order that I have
received from you I just got back from CGC. The Grades were as
follows: Ghostly Tales 66 NM 9.4 ow-white pages. / Phoenix 1 (Atlas)
NM 9.4 White pages. / Shazam 31 NM 9.4 White pages. These were the
exact grades quoted by you when they were advertised. Once again
thanks again for your superior grading and I hope to do a lot of
business with you in the near future. Happy to be your customer, Kurt
L.
Rey

Doug is constantly looking for stuff he doesn't have. Because he does have a lot, most of the stuff he does find...he doesn't need. As far as charging for scans, he used to consistently run into people who wanted scans but never bought. He found it a waste of time. Please understand, when you buy from him, he looks after everything personally. He has no staff working for him. He grades the books himself, he packages himself and sends them to the post office all by his lonesome and fills your want-lists. That's why he's got the reputation he has. In any business, nobody but nobody will look after you better than the owner. Anyway, if your aware of the reputation he has, you don't need a scan to buy a comic from him. So, whose got time to scan. Also, I know of many buyers who have had CGC grading Doug's books higher than he did. That to me speaks volumes. Ninanina from CGC Boards

I would recommend him! He was recommended to me, by someone on this website, on one of my first posts. Good results. Website was a bit "unruly" to try and look at and it didn't look like the type of site that is daily updated, so I emailed my requests and received same day response. I called my order in to the office and really enjoyed the conversation - they came across as knowledgeable and genuinely nice. Books were delivered within a week and I was very satisfied with the books. They were well graded and packaged well. (None probably package better than some of the sellers on these boards though - esp. Flaming Telepath, Mickeyriffhard and Buck Biggins come to mind). I would buy again from him and have considered it on some Neal Adams Batman/Tec's - but were not cheapest - he prices close to The OSPG. 40'sJohn from CGC Boards

I used to check to see if he had any Manitoba books that I needed. If not, I would email him a want list with grades and wait for a response. Great guy to deal with. You can always call him, too. Super nice; theWatcher from CGC Boards

just email your want list to him, odds are he has them. He is super nice, great grader, packages well and takes care of any problems instantly. I have bought small dollar books about 4x now and i'm sure get the same service as Greggy and his high dollar purchases. Pirate from CGC Boards

dude is a tight grader. One of only 2 or three people i would buy from sight unseen Andy, October, being one that comes to mind along with FT, Nik, and Greggy;
If you want to browse and pick up
impulse or "ooh, that looks nice" type of shopping, Doug
isnt for you.
If you have a wantlist, then he is your guy.

He is one of the few sellers I would buy blind from. His hit/miss ratio is much less than other sellers, plus has no problems with returns. You can't lose...and chances are, he'll make you want to come back...again and again. Sterlingcomics from CGC Boards

I bought from his site once. Right toward the end of my Bronze Marvel set. He almost had every issue i needed of the weird handful of books i had left. (My Love, Our Love, Millie the Model) His site confused the *spoon* out of me. Stonguy (Jeff) had to tell me, I kinda had to email him to see what he had. After that it was smooth sailing. He did have the comics i was looking for. If you need one issue of something and cant find it E mail him and ask. Worth a try! He had multi Issues on a few titles i was looking for in different grades. He was no joke! Bronze Age Fan from CGC Boards

Doug, I received my latest order earlier today & the books were absolutely great. As always your service from grading to prompt responses and shipping is simply the best.
Looking forward to your next new listing. With respect to the next Manitoba batch here is my want list: Thanks, Mark
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Doug Sulipa is the best comic book dealer that I've dealt with. This is because of his conversative pricing, ultra-strict grading, and excellent customer service. In fact, his grading is so conversative that I often buy books from him at a lower grade, assuming they'll look like a higher grade, like last year when I bought copies of Tomb of Dracula #10 and Ghost Rider #1. I find that Doug's books are usually a grade better than
other dealers in terms of strict grading and the pricing. His FN/VF books are sold as VF+ from other dealers." David Grove.
Hi Doug, Thanks for the WF paperback scan. That's the one from my childhood that I've been looking for (Thank You)! Please add it to my order.
Thanks again for everything: the quick emails, the many lists, the willingness & flexibility to offer multiple payments..... I've dealt with many of the big
US dealers (Metropolis, Bob Storms, Comiclink, Heritage....), and you are the BEST. Vince
Hello Doug, the comics arrived today. I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to trade, and most importantly the ability to get raw comics that are perfectly graded. I really appreciate the excellent service from start to finish. Thanks again Doug, have a great week. Talk to you later, Ty
From the CGC Forum; Just got my WonderCon modern (CGC) subs back from Sarasota: Amazing Spider-Man #194: 9.4 OW-WP (A Doug sulipa 9.2 Manitoba) Amazing Spider-Man #238 9.6 OW-WP (a Doug sulipa 9.0 Manitoba) Amazing Spider-Man #239: 9.8 WP (top census) (a Doug sulipa 9.4 Manitoba) Red Sonja #1: 9.6 WP (A Doug sulipa 9.6 Manitoba.) Ms. Marvel #17: 9.6 OW-WP (A Doug sulipa 9.4 Manitoba) Ms. Marvel #18: 9.4 WP (A Doug sulipa 9.2 Manitoba)
From the CGC Forum; Kudos to Doug sulipa, order packed tight and grading right on! I know a lot of forum members have come forward to expound on the virtues of these two gentlemen's grading and now I know why...enough can't be said about their standards and their customer service... "Minutekev"
From the CGC Forum; Just got my shipment from Doug sulipa. Every comic but one was undergraded by at least one grade level, and the Savage Tales #1 (1971) that he sold to me as an 8.5 looks like a 9.4. The one comic that wasn't undergraded was accurately graded. Wow!!! Thanks everyone who recommended Doug!" fantasyfootballbono"
From the CGC Forum; Just got 5 Skywald Mags in from Doug 3 of which were from the Manatoba Pedigree collection. The Psycho #15 was beautiful as it has a mostly white cover and is hard to find (for me) bright and clean. And yes, I agree there were some undergrades in the mix My first dealing with him and I was very pleased! "Jayman"
From the CGC Forum;Recently got in a batch of mags (Manitoba Collection) from Doug, and they are great. The 4 Warrens graded 9.6 were very nice, but especially nice were the Skywalds - Nightmare 1975 Winter Special (9.4) and Psycho 1975 Winter Special (9.6) - both mags look absolutely flawless. The COAs are a nice touch, too. Shipping rates were very reasonable to United Kingdom, and the package only took 4 days to arrive? Will I be making another order? Is Vampirella beautiful and sexy? I think it goes without saying. "magelsa"
Hey Doug, I will take them all. I finally found a set of comics that stumped Doug Sulipa (Flex Mentallo). I think that is the first time ever that you have not fulfilled an item on my want list. What I am trying to say is you are the go to guy for me. You have made it so easy to get what I need, and at great prices, and even better grading. If everyone graded like you, CGC would be out of business. Anyway, talk to you soon, Kyle
Hi Doug, I got the 20 comics today. Thanks a lot for everything! The grading, the service, and packaging were all top notch as per usual. Please email me when you get that new list of Manitobas in including those DC & Marvel Bronze Horror issues. If you have an email mailing list please add me to it as well. Thanks again, Vince
Dear Doug, Trent Babin in Las Vegas, Nevada here. Just a note to say "Thank You very much" for the October 1982 Dirt Wheels magazine. I received it a couple of days ago. Your pagaging was absolutely Excellent. I give you an A + plus. Although I am not a comic book collector, rest assured I will recommend you to anyone that is.You run a Terrific Company! I am very, very pleased with your service. Thanks again Doug, Great Job!!! Trent Las Vegas, NV
Hi Doug, Another fantastic transaction. You are the best! Thanks. -Darrin
Doug, Okay, I just need a couple more quotes and I'll be ready to send in my next order to you. The last batch of comics arrived fine, and they are great! You have the BEST selection of old Archie comics, in the best shape of any dealer I've ever seen! Kirk Hastings
Hi Doug, My 2nd CGC order just arrived today in excellent shape! Like always thanks for the fast shipment and bomb proof packing. Thanks, Ricky
Doug, Received shipment yesterday, and am very pleased with the comics. They were as outstanding as you said they would be. I look forward to the next set from the (Manitoba) collection (and anything else you have for me). Thanks again. Angelo
Hi Doug, I have done a number of transactions with you and they have all been great. I just wanted you to know that you have a very satisfied customer and I hope to continue to buy more magazines from you in the future. Patrick Fay
Doug, Thank you very much for the Market Report. Again you've been very thorough, even including the BLBs that we're adding the Guide this year. It's impressive how wide your view of the Market continues to be. You needn't worry about the slight lateness, because Bob and I know your reports will always be worth it. If we have any questions, we won't hesitate to contact you. Many thanks again, Mark (Huesman) and Bob (Overstreet)
Hi Doug, Just a quick note to says THANKS for the National Lampoon Anthology Vol. II. It just arrived and actually looks WAYYYYYY better than I even expected. Pleasure doing business with you . Leesa
Sounds good to me, thanks!!!! I have heard from collectors lately you are regarded as one of the finest graders out there, so i am glad we were close in our opinions. Thanks again! - matthew
Hi Doug, I received the Cerebus 1 and 4 today and was very satisfied. I appreciate your solid grading, quick turnaround, and good packing. I have been left less than impressed with most of my transactions with bigger dealers but I am happy to say I was very pleased. Thanks kindly, Dan Maresca
You are amazing. That is FAST service. I just don't know how you do it. Do ALL your customers get this incredible quality of service? No wonder you are still thriving in this competive niche business after all these years. Good for you...and congrats on many successful years. I keep seeing your adds in old comics. It impresses on me how long you've been at it, and how large your biz must be...yet you still give personal, fast service. Just amazing. -thanks Link Yaco
Dear Doug, I wanted to let you know that I got the books and I couldn’t be happier. You really took care of me with the packing and they were all beautiful! I am in the top 10% of picky people concerning condition, and I couldn’t be more pleased!!! You have class. Thank you so much for helping me with my collection, and I wont forget you.
I would do business with you anytime. ........Perran
Hi Doug, It's always good to hear from you. I hope your Summer has been prosperous and fun, in and out of the store. Thanks once again for the information. Bob (Overstreet) and I are looking forward to your price update and market report. We feel like we can't get started on the Guide until we hear from you. If I have any further questions, I won't hesitate to ask. Take care, Mark (Huesman)

Re: Reputable Dealers (on CGC Forum site) by Jonah Hex (Adam Charalambidis) There are alot of great dealers on e-bays,if you know who they are.The best and most consistant,strict grader in my experience is Doug Sulipa's comic world (in canada) for unslabbed books.He is also on e-bays,and does sell cgc books as well.Huge,huge selection! He works with you,and is a fountain of information on comics as well.Even the best sellers like to throw in some junk with large orders,feeling that the buyer will be happy and not complain.Doug does not do this! If you want a NM+, you will get a NM+, i cannot say enough good things about this seller. If you want to return a book, its easy and no hassle at all. The rest of you guys,sick of misgrading should check him out! Best source for unslabbed books! The worst in my experience M***C, and Com*******ica (canada). Contact doug, with your wish list. Hope you guys try em out.
Dear Doug. I received the Charlton horror comics today, talk about fast service!!...As for the comics, what else can I say but WOW!... your grading is very strict and accurate, the comics are all in beautiful shape, some of the best Charltons I've seen. These are going to be a great addition to my growing collection of Charlton horror books which I've been collecting since 1976. I can't thank you enough, these are amazing! I will definitly send you another want list soon. I won't hesitate to order comics in VF condition from you in the future as I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful shape they were in (I usually don't go below VF+ as some graders are not as accurate as you are). Thanks again! you made my day! Sincerely, James Lemay.
Dear Doug, Thank you so much for the wealth of information we received from you today. In addition to the e-mail, I also received the Big, Big book packet and the photocopies of those interesting magazine covers. Once again, Bob (Overstreet) and I are priviledged to have you as such a valuable, knowledgable expert on the marketplace. If we have any questions, we'll be sure to contact you. Thanks again for all your help. -Best. Mark (Huesman) = Overstreet Pricing Coordinator;
Hi, I just received my comics. It’s 9:30 am…Wow, that is a fast delivery and a great service!! Everything is perfect. As always, entire satisfaction. Thanks again for your great service. Jean-Baptiste
Hi Doug, The package of comic books arrived safely, and good condition. The condition of the books, however, is OUTSTANDING!! Thank you SO much for your careful packaging. The covers, pages, etc. are in excellent shape, and better than expected! I will be trading again with you; please stay in touch! Regards, Art Enke
Hi Doug, Received my latest order a couple days ago and, as usual, the prices, grading, and packaging were outstanding. In my experience, you are definitely the #1 source of bronze age comics in the world (even better than anyone here in New York, and that's saying something). Will order again as funds permit. Thanks again not only for your fantastic service and product, but also your prompt and courteous reply to want lists. Take care, Bill Mooney
Doug, Just a quick note to let you know the comics arrived safely. The two Kilroys are very nice, and the Operation Peril #15 is excellent. Your grading is much more than fair. I'll be back in touch later to see if you've gotten in comics of this calibre that are on my want list. Thanks very much again, and best regards, Tim M.
Just wanted to let you know that the books have arrived and that I am once again extremely pleased and satisfied with the books and your service. Thanks, Jon Pruett
Hi Doug, Just wanted to let you know that I received the books yesterday, and they are great. I really appreciate your accurate grading. I am compiling a new list of books I need, so I will keep in touch. Thanks, Scott M.
Hi Doug, Hope you had a good vacation! Many thanks for doing the job with the last order - books garded in NM+ that truly were in NM+; In anticipation of you're having obtained the collection you mentioned, I am attaching my wants list and hope you may have some items from it for me. I look forward to hearing from you in due course. All the best, Mark
Hello Doug....I recieved the first order of comics today. (GI JOEs 9,14) They look fantastic! After grading both of them I believe the #9 is a dead-on 9.6 and the #14 has a good chance of getting a 9.8!! You now have me as an official customer. Its rare when I can actually trust someones grading and you even surpassed my expectations! I will let all the CGC forum members know what great service and grading skills you have. Thanks again, Ill let you know when the #8 I ordered arrives, Bill Marra
Dear Doug: I received the books on Tuesday in great shape! eBay is a terrific resource, and something most of us couldn't have even imagined 25 or 30 years ago, but there really is no substitute for an experienced dealer with deep stock who genuinely knows how to grade. Thanks again for your time and great customer service. Best, Mike Smith
Hi Doug. My comics came today. Another perfect order! Thanks for the great packaging and the high quality books. You are a credit to the field. Speaking of which...I had a negative experience with a company called T* F* A* W* today. I'm flabbergasted by their unwillingness to adjust their shipping policies, even at a customer's specific request, even though I received DAMAGED goods due to their crappy packaging. Unbelievable. Contrast this to your ultra-secure, top-flight packaging, which is just s.o.p. for you. No matter how battered the parcel, it arrives at my doorstep with everything inside secure and shipshape. Why? Because you bother to CARE about what I will see when I open the package! That's what it's all about for you. One GOOD thing about a BAD experience is that it helps me NOT take things for granted. So thanks again for your outstanding customer service and the value you provide for my heard-earned dollar. I will be ordering from you again! Mickey

Kudos to Doug sulipa, order packed tight and grading right on! I know a lot of forum members have come forward to expound on the virtues of these two gentlemen's grading and now I know why...enough can't be said about their standards and their customer service... "Minutekev"

Just got my shipment from Doug sulipa. Every comic but one was undergraded by at least one grade level, and the Savage Tales #1 (1971) that he sold to me as an 8.5 looks like a 9.4. The one comic that wasn't undergraded was accurately graded. Wow!!! Thanks everyone who recommended Doug!" fantasyfootballbono"

Just got 5 Skywald Mags in from Doug 3 of which were from the Manatoba Pedigree collection. The Psycho #15 was beautiful as it has a mostly white cover and is hard to find (for me) bright and clean. And yes, I agree there were some undergrades in the mix My first dealing with him and I was very pleased! "Jayman"

Recently got in a batch of mags (Manitoba Collection) from Doug, and they are great. The 4 Warrens graded 9.6 were very nice, but especially nice were the Skywalds - Nightmare 1975 Winter Special (9.4) and Psycho 1975 Winter Special (9.6) - both mags look absolutely flawless. The COAs are a nice touch, too. Shipping rates were very reasonable to United Kingdom, and the package only took 4 days to arrive? Will I be making another order? Is Vampirella beautiful and sexy? I think it goes without saying. "magelsa"
Hey Doug, I will take them all. I finally found a set of comics that stumped Doug Sulipa (Flex Mentallo). I think that is the first time ever that you have not fulfilled an item on my want list. What I am trying to say is you are the go to guy for me. You have made it so easy to get what I need, and at great prices, and even better grading. If everyone graded like you, CGC would be out of business. Anyway, talk to you soon, Kyle
Hi Doug, I got the 20 comics today. Thanks a lot for everything! The grading, the service, and packaging were all top notch as per usual. Please email me when you get that new list of Manitobas in including those DC & Marvel Bronze Horror issues. If you have an email mailing list please add me to it as well. Thanks again,
Vince
Dear Doug, Trent Babin in Las Vegas, Nevada here. Just a note to say "Thank You very much" for the October 1982 Dirt Wheels magazine. I received it a couple of days ago. Your pagaging was absolutely Excellent. I give you an A + plus. Although I am not a comic book collector, rest assured I will recommend you to anyone that is.You run a Terrific Company! I am very, very pleased with your service. Thanks again Doug, Great Job!!! Trent Las Vegas, NV
Hi Doug, Another fantastic transaction. You are the best! Thanks. -Darrin
Doug, I guess Xpresspost is worth it! You shipped Tuesday and I'm sitting here very happy on Saturday morning! I want to thank you for realizing one obvious thing: good customer service is how you get good customers (and repeat business). I always remember the places that do it right and try to give them as much business as I can. You get high marks in selection, grade, price, communication, accomodating requests, packaging, shipping... what else is there?!? I'm going to start saving my pennies, so I can allow myself to look through your catalogs again! Thanks, Steve ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
