Biographies:
Ron Wilson
(1 October 1926 – 17 December 2010) was a professional magician, and winner of the Academy of Magical Arts Magician of the Year award in 1971. He was born in Dundee, Scotland in October, 1926. He reported he was attracted to magic by watching Dante the Magician perform in Dundee, and had his first show as a child magician at age nine in an hotel in Ireland. At age 19, he joined a traveling troupe of magicians known as the Dundee Magic Circle, which performed mostly in British small towns. In 1952, he decided there were better chances of success for his career as a magician in North America, and moved to Windsor, Ontario. He performed there for some years, until he moved to the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, California, where he finally achieved success and international fame. He performed there for several decades, as well as aboard cruise ships, and in world tours that took him to several countries, including China and Russia. Wilson also appeared in several TV shows. He died in Los Angeles on December 17, 2010.
Richard J. Kaufman
(born May 16, 1958) is an author, publisher, illustrator, and editor of books and magazines in the field of magic. Kaufman illustrated many other books in the field through 1991, popularizing a style of cartoon-movement into technical magic illustration. He also began writing magic books, starting with the Interlocked Production of Coins in 1977. He self-published his first two books, then sought a partner for the financing required to publish larger books. Alan C. Greenberg, CEO of Bear Stearns, also a highly respected amateur magician, brought the financing that Kaufman required and the company Kaufman and Greenberg was born.

PLEASE NOTE:
BEST OFFERS PRICES
DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING
, even if you add a comment that says 'my offer includes shipping' . . . IT DOESN'T.
ALSO,
eBay's logic is not sophisticated enough to deal with this, so please be sure to factor in shipping separately from your offer. If you do put in any condition text into your best offer, eBay's Auto-Accept feature is blocked for your offer. Why is that important? I had somebody put in a Best Offer and added the condition "Thank You", which was nice, but it kept their offer from being auto-accepted. Later that night, before I saw the offer, somebody else bought the item at full price. Good For Me . . . Not good for the 1st buyer.
Check out my Feedback! I not only aim to please, I hit the bullseye every time!
Did I mention Satisfaction Guaranteed!?

DOMESTIC SHIPPING INCLUDES INSURANCE AND EBAY FINAL VALUE FEES!
Due to the value of this item, the domestic shipping includes insurance costs. Also, as of July 2011, eBay started charging their FVF (Final Value Fee) on shipping / insurance costs, this means I have to pad the handling to cover the additional eBay fees.
PACKAGING:
I have been selling and shipping online for over 15 years. You can look at my feedback and see all the compliments on how I package my items. I pack items with plenty of padding and make sure they are loose in the box where they could get jostled and damaged. In other words, I pack you items the way I would like my items to be packed and shipped. I cannot control the Post Office, but unless the package is run over or dropped from the Empire State Building, it will arrive in the same condition you bought it in.
NO SUCH THING AS FREE SHIPPING!
The fallacy of ‘Free Shipping’, according to ImaPaqRat:
If the seller provides ‘Free Shipping’ it means they have already factored in the full cost of shipping into their pricing. If you happen to buy 10 items from that seller, you are paying full shipping on 10 items even though they may ship them all in one box. I on the other hand post the shipping cost and if a buyer buys more than 1 item, I can provide them with a consolidated shipping discount. If you win more than 1 item from me, please contact me, before you pay so I can send you a consolidated invoice.
CONSOLIDATED SHIPPING:
I do offer consolidated shipping whenever possible, but my 1st priority is to ensure your items are received safely.
If you are buying more than 1 item, please contact me when you are done so I may send you a consolidated invoice. PLEASE DO NOT PAY THEN ASK ME TO CONSOLIDATE THE SHIPPING! To take advantage of consolidated handling fees you must make a single payment, within 7 days of the first auctions end date.
SMOKE FREE / PET FREE:
Your comic(s) ship from and have been in a Smoke Free / Pet Free Home Office for years. So no smelly surprises and no dander flying around when you open up your package!
FEEDBACK POLICY:
We do provide honest feedback for all transactions, but only after feedback has been left for us first. Sorry but we have had a few erroneous negative feedbacks, after we had already left our positive feedback. If you have any problems with your purchase(s), please contact us via eBay Messaging before leaving feedback. We will do everything we can to correct any misunderstandings.
Thank You for looking at our Item. We appreciate your business.
