Laugh #67 G -- asking $16 + shipping Another fine example of "beat but complete" is first up. Obvious wear/tears/creases. Spine split up to bottom staple, which is detached. Cover is attached by a whisker at top staple, just don't look at it too hard. Centerfold is attached at both. Some interior tears, but no tape, missing paper, or writing. All in all not bad for the technical grade. EDIT: apparently I wasn't sufficiently observant when I scanned the book. That lower right corner of the front cover is there, it must have just been folded under during the scan.

Would CGC call this color touch?
mysterio replied to mysterio's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I'd say there is about a 90% chance it would be deemed color touch. Even though minor, it did do a good job of hiding the abrasion up there at the corner, considering I didn't see it when I'd gone over the book several times. Only the blown up scan revealed it to me years later. -

Ah yes, the uncommon purple-brown form of color-blindness. -
Three more Giants, then back to regular sized Laugh & Pep to wrap up the thread. Archie's Pals N Gals #20 VG- -- asking $15 + shipping Great color and gloss, 100% complete with no interior blemishes. Spine curl is stronger in this issue than previous ones, front cover is separated from the spine 1" up top and 2" at the bottom. Spine paper is in great shape.

No, Heroes is east coast, which may make a difference here. I'm betting Texas will be on or near the leading edge of reopening. We'll have to see what happens in the next month. I just thought it was relevant news to those of us interested in FE Dallas.

Slow going in here this week, but hopefully I can pick up the pace over the next couple of days. Archie's Pals N Gals #18 VG -- asking $27 + shipping SOLD Sci-Fi cover. 100% complete, no interior problems. Touch of stacking curl at spine, 1" seperation of front cover at top spine, 1/2" at bottom, but solid along the rest of the spine. Minor paper loss at bottom spine but otherwise paper on spine is good. Wrinkling in Veronica's hair on right side.

Archie Pals N Gals #16 VG- -- asking $19 + shipping Spine seperations at each corner except back cover lower corner. 2+" tear at upper left corner of front cover off one such separation. 100% complete with no interior problems. Minor moisture spot bottom of back cover, some kind of dirt (or something) on cover at Veronica's shoulder. May be cleanable but the buyer can try it. Flat and colorful.

I did, and no real issues. Took more paper than I might have liked, but no purple remained. -
I think it'll depend on how much Texas (and Dallas specifically) relaxes restrictions by then. I imagine the SDCC decision was made at least partially due to the fact that the convention center is being used for relief work. I haven't heard anything similar for the Kay Bailey. If it does happen there will be a lot of masks and a lot of hand sanitizer, and hopefully a lot of comic shoppers.

Took care of the issue, it will be off to CGC in our next sub (7-10 days). Will report back. -
Thread updated. Very slow with things this week, trying to stay off the computer when I can. Archie's Pals N Gals #11 VG/VG+ -- asking $27 + shipping Very solid copy, 100% complete with nice pages. Bit of a spine curl, bit of a split at lower spine. Spine paper is very nearly complete and is colorful.
