  1. Landed this the other day...The Schommy cover is awesome I also enjoy the Grim Reaper splash!!
  2. High bidder in several books including the Aman 26!! Won’t last long I don’t think haha!! Good luck Rick great showing
  3. Impressive pickup!! Tough Hitler cover. Only Takebot could snag something this quickly haha!! Well done buddy
  4. Just snagged this off of ebay a few minutes ago!! Love this cover... super excited to bring it in fits in the collection nicely!!
  5. NEVER underestimate a Batman Fan and their abilities
  6. Even better then!!! Was this a CCS book or did you do the work bc consider me thoroughly impressed!!
  7. Thats my motto as well!! I thank my lucky stars every day I like flawed books hahaha!! This way I am not bothered by minuscule things like this. I see a 2.0 and know there are flaws. If the book looks pretty enough for me technical grade or not thats the one I buy. NO thousand dollar swings from a 9.2 to 9.4 where I literally couldnt tell the difference outside of the holder and that # at the top
  8. This is a Phenomenal result!!!! Bravo!! I do think Dry cleaning is a misleading term though I think this book had to have been washed in something I don't know of any other way to remove oxidation of the paper or in other words a dust shadow that is this pronounced. I am still learning so please take with a grain of salt but this looks to have had a bath of some type. PQ did stay the same even though the cover is visibly cleaner and whiter so not sure the cover has anything to do with PQ notation on the label or not I would think it would have to a bit though. For example if just part of the cover was SB even if the all the pages were cream from what I understand it would still get SB. Either way like I said this result is fantastic this is a gorgeous book man!!
  9. Like the human body rest is an important part of the healing process so yes if you let it just sit and relax for say...a decade or so...the paper can rejuvenate and lighten up. 😂😂
  10. There’s also this one I know @sagii likes too!! Had this subbed and it came back brittle not even SB which is THE MOST absurd thing EVER and why I put absolutely zero faith in the PQ on labels anymore. Literally ZERO. At least the rare purplish cover looks nice with the victorian lilac PLOD haha!! what a joke...still love er’ though tough book with only 6 copies on the census and one of my favorite covers of the run
  11. Here is one that had a bad bad spine roll just got back from desperately needed press...only 4 copies on the CGC census
  12. The fact that no one has listed Paste Pot Pete yet is a bit disturbing to me. He is literally the only person who can duplicate Spider-Mans web formula!! All kidding aside I would love to own this splash page!!
  13. thanks brother!!! They sure don't pop up that often. Count your blessings though because you were cool before people knew what cool was!!! Oh to have a time machine and snatch some of these up before they hit the prices they fetch in todays market!!
  14. Two of my favorite ACE books!!! Somehow I missed this post gotta get back to signing on on the ol' desktop every once in awhile. These look gorgeous in their new threads!!!!
  15. Whats up brother!! No one appreciates those Aces like you bro thanks man I totally agree these are super special!!
  16. Oh here’s one had to go to the next page hehe!! That’s still a MIGHTY cool book!!
  17. That is BEE-autiful!! Do you have any books in your collection that even have what we mere mortals would refer to as a spine tic haha?!!!! I’ve said this before but it’s worth repeating most of the stuff you post LITERALLY looks nicer than my modern stuff true story!!
