It'll be my first heroescon. I'm hyped!

Thanks. I was worried because they're in there pretty snugly. Maybe the box has settled since I put it together.

Thanks for replying! I know I bought magazine bags and boxes, but mine are pretty snug inside the box.

Thanks again! You guys are lifesavers!

Another (possibly silly) question. Does anyone know where Mr. Aragones will be? I can't find a location or table number in the brochure. Am I just blind? Haha. Thanks!

Sweet! Thanks you two!

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if Sergio Aragones will be sketching at SDCC this weekend? I can't find anything on the SDCC site, and Sergio Aragones site doesn't seem to get updated very regularly. A friend of mine will be at SDCC and I'd love to get a cain and abel from him. Bonus question: Does anyone know what kinds of prices he charges? Thanks!

Telerites: thanks! That's what really had me worried. Here's hoping they're nice to me. Haha. Namisgr: that makes sense. Thanks!

Thanks! The eye appeal sold me on it when I bought it a few years ago. That chip out of the bottom of the cover happened when I first examined the book. -_-.

telerites: I know the brittleness is less than desireable. I suppose I'm worried about it being more detrimental to the grade. Would the cgc not grade a book if the brittleness is bad? I just don't want it to come back as a 'no grade' or something.

I'd say in the $100 - $150 range. Maybe more as MyComicShop has a coverless (graded 0.3) issue 3 for $125.

Mercury Man: Thanks for the reply. I'll probably want to update someday, but are you saying that (as long as I have it) having the comic slabbed wouldn't help it in any way? Protect it from the elements better than the mylar? Conserve it better?

Hi all, I have a copy of Phantom Stranger 5 from the golden age series. It has great eye appeal, but the cover is very brittle along the bottom. I'm thinking it would grade somewhere between a 0.5 and a 1.0 because of this. Is it worth sending off? I think having it graded would help me sell it if I ever upgrade, but I'm wondering if it's worth it to send it off (economically). Would you slab it, or just let it lie? Thanks! L

Hi all, I ordered some 4-mil BCW magazine bags, and a magazine box... and the darn mylars don't fit! >< They're very snug to the point that when they're in like they should be, the bags are squeezed on the sides, and I worry about the book inside getting warped or something. Does anyone know what size box I need? Thanks everyone!
