  1. "...Uranus should look more beautiful than we've ever seen it before"...... with a rocket taking off in the distance. Those DC writers really knew how to write the romance.
  2. SOLD GL 40 CGC 6.0 with WHITE pages. I don't think it's been pressed or cleaned. It already looks undergraded so it's got potential for an upgrade. $125 shipped
  3. I like how Hitler is in the shape of a swastika. Clever visual.
  4. Original Junior Justice Society Decoder 1942 It's in great shape, but does have "ownership writing" I'll call it a 6.0 $99 shipped
  5. Yes. It's so sad that what was a book length thin crease on a nice looking comic, has now become a 1/8" white line (with a few holes)
  6. I think you did ok. That spot in the lower right could have been scary (if there was more like that). 7.0 is good, if it would have gone down to 6.5..... then I might have changed my opinion.
  7. NOT FOR SALE MOVED TO EBAY Here's something I've never done before.... One big lot of 14 CGC slabs all sold together in one lot. I'm not breaking any of these up at this time so don't ask for individual issues. ***Ignore the Xmen 266 since that comic is copper age it breaks the rules for this thread, it is not included in this listing.*** YOU GET: -Justice League of America 1 (1960) CGC 3.0 -Fantastic Four 67 (1967)(first HIM "Warlock") CGC 8.0 -Journey Into Mystery 20 (1954) CGC 4.0 -Star Trek 1 (1967) CGC 4.0 -She-Hulk 1 CGC 9.0 -Avengers 44 (Red Guardian)(origin of Black Widow)(1967) CGC 8.5 -Ms Marvel 17 (1st Mystique cameo) CGC 9.2 -Ms Marvel 18 (1st Mystique) CGC 9.2 -Cindy 31 (1948) CGC 4.5 -Where Monsters Dwell 1 CGC 9.4 (this one looks 9.8 to me) - Jungle Action 5 (1st Black Panther in title) 8.0 -Amazing Adventures 1 (1st solo Black Widow) CGC 8.0 -The Demon 1 CGC 7.5 -Silver Surfer 18 (final issue) CGC 7.5 $2549 + $30 shipping
  8. I think any detachment, whether it's the Cover or CF should be listed on the label (and usually is). But I'm glad they at least put it in the graders notes.
  9. Beautiful comic. What do you think it would have graded as a Qualified? CGC forgot to put a notation about the top staple on the label.
  10. Yes, I think it was a color breaking crease that went across the whole cover.
  11. Miraclemet..... have you spotted the CT on the cover? The CGC notes for the comic might give you a clue of the location (probably spine). I'd take a jeweler's loupe and examine the comic as good as you can. If you spot ANY CT away from the spine then you probably shouldn't even crack the comic out of the holder (because there might be CT hidden all over the comic).
  12. Here's a better example that matches what the OP is trying to do. This Sgt Fury of mine was a 9.0 C-1 Purple with 5 spots of CT on the spine. The CGC notes said the CT was only on the spine so it let me know where to focus. The 5 spots were all tiny bleed thrus, so what looks like spine tics in my photo are actually scrapes with the middle of the scrapes going all the way thru. It really doesn't look that bad in hand, and overall I think this comic looks great. 9.0 Purple down to 7.5 Blue is a trade off I will take every time.
  13. That's my FF 1. I believe it was a 5.0 restored (maybe more?) and it went down to 3.0. The white line is very striking, but I still like it and feel like it was worth taking the risk on. I had to resubmit it twice (when you have CT removal done you want to remove as little as possible). It looked a LOT nicer after the first attempt, but unfortunately it needed extra scraping. Such a shame..... it's a nice book with a fantastic spine. Even though the white line is horrible, value wise it was still smart to get this into a Blue label.
  14. What a gorgeous comic. I would leave it in the Green label. A 6.0-6.5 blue label wouldn't be a fair description to how nice this comic is.
