  1. Thank you. I was very happy to get it and I don't think the scan does it justice.
  2. You can't tell the glaze over Andy's eyes in this shot. He was on comic overload
  3. This is correct. You can probably get it into a conserved label, but not blue. But it's rated B-1, which doesn't sound great for a cleaning.
  4. I think there were complaints about how the paper inside the cover made the covers appear a bit more transparent.
  5. I cut my drugs with baking powder to stretch them further and make a profit.
  6. That would be counted as a defect, not production related.
  7. At the time I would have agreed with you. In hindsight, CGC made the wiser choice inadvertently as people would have otherwise chased those books down with an x-acto to maul them further in the name of profit.
  8. There are little to no "keys" in there also. There are a handful of better covers and the odd 'teen-age sex club' story, but for the most part they are pretty homogenized.
  9. I think it (the Church) initially graded as 8.0 and was bumped to 8.5. In these days of "improvement" DA could be kicking himself as the Church could now technically be nicer.
  10. I use their bags which aren't mylar. I think mylar scuffs too easily and splits easily as well.
  11. His last post on Facebook was: "I told them I was sick... Anything not to go to New York Comic Con Thanx Keith Giffen 1952-2023 Bwah ha ha ha ha" Epic.
  12. Thanks, and to clarify this included humidification for the pressed books and not for the unpressed?
  13. Joey, didn't you do a break test on some pressed books way back when? Am I misremembering that?
  14. The cover was cleaned, which typically results in some shrinking. There is nothing else on this book that makes it seem trimmed.
  15. I agree with you, but your history of snarkiness on these boards makes for some pretty great irony here.
  16. There's definitely a growth process with his Conan stuff as time went on.
  17. Same. Still with the annoying scoop sign-up pop up.
  18. That's such a great example of the difference between comic art and art. Imagine showing that to a friend unfamiliar with OA and having to explain that this is one of the great comic artists while he's asking you about why a third grader drew the faces.
