    If the comics are water damaged anyway, why not buy a press and bake the &^0 out of any mold that may be on the book?

    These would be good cover buys, but I can't say the inside art does much for me.

    It depends how hard they want to hit that bottom staple. I would say it's a 4.5. Maybe 4.0 at worst.
  25. mysterymachine
    There is a lot of sun fade on the cover. Look how much red and yellow is missing on the cover.

    When I had a low post count I would go to the "Please Grade My" section and pop down grades.
  27. mysterymachine
    I agree that a press could bring it to the 7.0 range.
  28. mysterymachine
    I would say 9.2 for the top edge wear. Any unseen creases or finger bends could drop it a bit lower.
  29. mysterymachine
    I don't see why this book doesn't get a 9.2. Most of the creases aren't color breaking.
  30. mysterymachine
    Book is not that bad of shape. Definitely needs a press. I would agree with the other folks here regarding the grade. 9.0/9.2 after a press.

    For California I would recommend Spero's Heroes. About an hour from Los Angeles. No new books, just back issues. Gold, silver, bronze, and copper. Great selection at fair prices. Extremely friendly staff that loves to talk old comics. Note* They are closed on Mondays Tuesday and Wednesdays. Spero's Heroes Comic Book Store 21037 Devonshire St Chatsworth, CA 91311

    It was signed by Winick Mahnke Nguyan. He just used a bold white font when he signed it.

    Make sure your oven is calibrated. If it is a newer oven, it should be ok. Older ovens have a habit of heating higher than the setting. If your not sure if your oven is calibrated properly buy an analog oven thermometer.
