Here is another interesting case in the same vein.  Right now, Comic Link has the Mile High More Fun 43 in CGC 8.0 Blue label with minor color touch and minor glue and OW/W pages. But.... same book sold on Heritage in 2004 graded CGC 9.2 Purple label Slight Resto with small amount color touch and tear seal to cover and OW pages.  So what happened?  You'd think if someone removed or downgraded the resto it would be more obvious.  And how do you go from 9.2 to 8.0?  I can't see any major differences.  Is it as simple as having a tear seal removed?  And did the grading get tougher or easier? Thoughts?

Did he actually write Church like codes on the books?!?  

I'd appreciate an answer to this question as well.

Wow, absolutely stunning. What a group shot!

Love me some Flessel! He really defines the Golden Age for me, I can't get enough. Thanks for sharing that sweet New Adventure, Electron! I was chasing that Tec 10 on eBay, but it went wayyyyyy higher than budget...

Heartiest congrats on your run! What a thing of beauty to behold.

I hope that some time in the not too distant future you can bless us with a group photo!

Look, I love Stan Lee as much as anyone. But if there is one thing that annoys the heck out of me, it is people getting rare golden age books, like in the below link, and having someone sign across the cover and think it is improving things. I wish people would stop this practice. I'm guessing I'm not the only one bothered by this...

All Winners 5 CGC SS 3.5

Nice set of books! Did you just get the MF 74? Wondering what you paid, as I just saw one sell in 4.0 blue for $2061 on eBay. Thinking I got mine for a real steal a few years back for a quarter of that. Still need to get my 75 though, has that seen a corresponding bump in price?

Went a little crazy on the Bay last week, just got it today. Now the highlight of my collection. I'm really just thrilled.

Just picked this up off eBay and I'm pretty pleased with it. My first Davis Crippen pedigree, and my first Daredevil comic. I think I got a real deal on it.

I also can't get over the fact that Daredevil is too late, at least for the one kid.
