  1. Love the #72 cover.

     

    893scratchchin-thumb.gif I think I've seen that cover somewhere before.

     

    Congratulations! Looks like a nice copy -- it's a terrific good girl sci fi cover! 893applaud-thumb.gif893applaud-thumb.gif

     

    Thanks. Just wanted to alert you that at least 3 sweet copies of this book are in the hands of board members.

     

    Only 2 slabbed copies of #72 grade higher than 7.0.

  2. Those early issues are tough. I think I have maybe 2/3 of the issues 18 on, but nothing before that. Haven;t been able to pull the trigger on various books costing 2K and up (besides the fact they don't come up for sale that often!). Perhaps in 20 years...

  3. Love seeing the early Planets.

     

    I just got my first Church book -- and it looks even better in person!

    Comparing the MH 9.0 to others you may own.....what do you see as the major differences? The mystique of MH is ever present and the colors look incredible.

     

    I can see the colors are nice. But can't make any comparisons to others books or other MHs unless they are in hand.

  4. Bindery tears are my pet peeve! CGC is way too lenient with bindery tears. (Especially for Golden Age!) I have seen huge tears at the corners of GA books that still got 9.4s CGC's explanation, "bindery tears"...? How do they know a reader didn't cause this tear 50 years ago? I think bindery tears on GA books are part of the aging process, and they should be graded accordingly.

     

    agreed

  5. That is without a doubt one of the best comic monsters ever!! Thanks for posting that Jon.

     

    Here is one that just arrived this morning... its got a nice STARDUST story in it. Plus a swell Joe Simon cover.

    I thought after reading Gerber PJ 7-8 times I had a sense of how many GA books I still "need". Then I keep reading these threads.

     

    The one thing that gives me hope is, as Jon implies, many of these still look pretty sweet in G.
