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. Arexcrooke from CGC Boards

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

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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
