Thanks! Well, I knew I wasn't going to be out-bid by you . . . You are right, no fear of that.....I don't bid on auctions where I will end up overpaying. None of that here . . . I know. You got if for less than guide and that is a tough book. Hopefully that scuffing is on the case though. Got the grader notes this morning: 8.0 / 8.0 / 8.0 O/W to W -Corner wear, top and bottom, front cover -Crease, top corner, back cover

Picked up this puppy this morning: I am sure it's going to look MUCH better in person After being outbid on the Don Rosa copy, I settled for this copy for less than 1/3 the price . . .

Thanks, my wife wasn't entirely thrilled . . . her response: bad boy!

Where is the scan of the JiM 89 I haven't scanned it myself yet, but here's the seller's scan: Whaddya think? I think I'm gonna crack it out and caress it

Wow! That's the stuff of nightmares!

NOW we're talkin'

Ditto! The Fullbacks showed up today! Only 3 days with the slowest shipping! So Daddy BigBucks - you selected camel service?

Jbud - Welcome back! Long time no see

Hey ft, A point for discussion: You may have some rights to your scans, but probably not for the reasons you think you do. For example, just because you own the book, you don't have any inalienable rights to photographs of it. The creator of the book holds those rights. Your scans, are of course "photographs" of the book, which you created and therefore, you have copyrights to those photographs. Arguably, they are junior, derivative rights to the creator of the book. One might argue that you actually need permission from the creator of the book to publish your photographs. Either way you slice it, even if you have copyrights, you have no means of enforcing your copyrights, or to enjoin others from using your scans, unless you take steps to register the copyright of the photographs with the Copyright Office. And, if someone actually made the scans for you, as in a "work for hire" the issue is even complicated further. For example, the scans CGC provides with its grading service are technically "works for hire" with CGC being the author of the scans.

lookin' good there, bubba! congrats!

Actually a lot of people don't know the answer to this either. You should place food against the dull side of the foil. I really didn't know this. What is the harm from the shiny side. Fortunately I'm not the one that uses it. There is no "harm" - the shiny side reflects the radiant heat better.

Common boards acidify in less than two years - Pull anyone of your old TOS's that you have stored in poly/common. See the brown specks on the shiny side of the board? That's acidification - That deteriorates the book. Either way you lose The only alternative is to spend the money (sorry kilty)

Thanks for the test, but I never understood why it was even in doubt. After all, why in the world would standard backing board manufacturers spend MORE to treat one side of the board, if you weren't actually *supposed* to use it? Uh, because they're from Canada? Is this a trick question?

Unfortunately, the entire board is placed within a virtually sealed bag, which then off-gasses acid in a closed environment - I seriously doubt it matters which side is in actual contact with the book, as the entire environment is acidic. Just throw 'em away Kilty A little bit of knowledge can be dangereous . . .

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Scott- I've never seen an example of one . . .

Tanning and page color will hurt you, but if it is still a structurally sound and supple book . . . 9.0 cream to off-white

Here is the Kirby sig that I got from the King at the NY Comic Con in 1975. It does appear to flow a bit more than the sig on the FF2, but looks very similar (especially the "K"), and may have a different look owing to being on the splash page rather than the cover: Thanks - this is similar to what I found through a web search. Although, It's not what's "similar" about a signature that counts in forensic analysis, it's what's "dissimilar". Again we see lower case -script, not block lettering.

Thanks Pov,

Unauthenticated creator signatures on the cover get a Green Qualified Label. No, he's dead. They only authenticate signatures that are signed in front of a CGC rep. No, not even. They may put a label note on "name written in ink on front cover" I don't see your logic there, Dan
