  1. Nice book with beautiful colors. Should have some good stories inside too
  2. Looks under graded to me. Here's mine by comparison. Yours has way better pages as well. I agree. Must be something we can't see in the inside or perhaps on the back cover. Judged purely by the front cover I think Kelholts looks slightly better. There's a bindery chip at the top of the back cover URC which likely caps the grade at 8.0. As I told Kelly, this book has one of the nicest spines I've ever seen on an early GA book. There's barely even a single tiny fleck of color missing at the staple areas... it appears unread, or very very close to it. I'll miss it, but I'm pleased it found a good home. Here is the back Yes it must be due to the bindery tear. Curious though, isn't that a production defect? Sure is a nice copy, thanks for sharing! I think it is a production defect and does completely influence the grade for cgc but not for me. I once owned a Planet 29 CGC 9.2 with a similar bindery chip on the front, but it was half the size. That time CGC did not account for the production flaw. I think if the size of the defect was half the size, this book would be a CGC 9.2 as well. My

  4. Nice early Jungle and Zolnerowich cover
  5. My new Planet. I read and really enjoy 'Mars God of war' stories in Planets. This is his only cover, so it has some added importance to me. I have been trying to hunt down a 16 for I while. I was the under bidder in the last two 8.5's heritage had sold in the last two years. Purchased from Point Five (Thank you ), he said was a beauty and I agree. Near perfect spine and nice colors.
  6. Very nice group Kelly! This is a tough, tough book. Key stuff! Zol is soooooo underrated. Kids these days don't know what they don't know. What an accurate assessment
  7. One of my all time favorites. I once owned a 5.0 and sold it. Regretted it about 5 minutes after and extatic to own this one. This is a tough tough book to locate.
  8. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a few early Jungles from a friend of mine named Jeff All of these except the 11 are the highest graded behind the Church copies. My favorite cover artist is Zolnerowich and 3 of these are his. I am super excited about this small stack of books.
  9. Here is a better scan of my 13 I just found:
  10. I agree with Flex , although we love our bold reds on FH, there are other Bold colors: Blue
  11. Here are a few of my brighter/bolder red colored FH books
  12. Terrific! Well done Billy! I watched that book on the link, nice pickup. It's and eye catcher, Beautiful book.
  13. One of the best war covers ever published. Beautiful copy with great colors. +1 Super nice all around
  14. Pretty sure that is my old copy. Super nice book and tough to find. Possible, I picked it up off Heritage, was Cheetah's copy at that time. Definitely my old copy, I sold it to Cheetah
  15. Pretty sure that is my old copy. Super nice book and tough to find.
  16. When I bumped the thread earlier today and asked for everyone to share, man I got more than I asked for!! It is a true pleasure to see all these beautiful books.
