I'll finance you at 10%

Leveraging debt to pay for comic books is a terrible idea. Especially in this auction where there's going to be a feeding frenzy with insane prices. If you don't have the money in the bank, don't spend it in an exponential market.

Awesome stuff Great stuff!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's going to hit every bidding interval between this and what it finishes at.

Literally in consecutive sentences.

You need to change your name now.

Given the time period that thing was probably soaked in radium.

The Atlas fade never fails to look great.

No, he just knows how to say something in less than 7 paragraphs.

Slowly but surely scanning.

That has as much merit as the Toby Black Knight, so why not?

decades ago, literally, I had a book similar to this that I sold to Richard Muchin. He had a concept that I think applies really well when thinking about how to grade something like this. Picture the average book in VG, FN, VF, etc., and imagine if you would rather have that book or this one. If you'd rather have a standard VF over this one, then this one isn't VF. If you'd rather have this one over a standard FN, then this one is nice than FN. That gives you a range where the book should grade. Obviously that's going to boil down to some personal preference, but in this case that missing corner would really bother me. I'd probably take a nice FN over this copy, so I'd mark this one as something like VGF. I don't know anyone in their right mind who would choose this over a VF, and 8.5 is silly.

You're right. He forgot to mention people accusing CGC, Heritage, and Halperin of war crimes.

These might not be OO books. Heritage has put stickers on curated collections before.

This thread reminds me of this scene. https://youtu.be/4SeTBxa63wg

Ohio books have a similar C and I've bought OO books from the east with a similar C.

Encouraging people to buy and flip? You're not a "true collector".

Well done.

My medical device would stop the flow on one end.

Regrettably it seems you have to go through everything.

You've given me an idea for a medical device...

I specifically worded it so that couldn't be implied. (plus I always get the top)

I'd deal with Satan before them.

Never seen the back cover of that one before, what a great image!
