New River City Marvel Tales:

New Strange Tales and one of my favorite covers, one I don't think has been posted in this thread before:

Nice condition also (sharp corners) congrats.

Nice book Scrooge, we needed a bump for this thread...I will have some to post tomorrow. Got a batch of...wait for it....Marvel Tales back from the slab factory. Johnny

Great book, amazing color, amazing condition great buy in my opinion.

I love this cover, picked this copy up from a fellow boardie recently:

Indeed it is - waiting on a few more. Love that Strange Worlds always nice to find a River City book in high grade with great page quality, most of my River City books didn't fair so well in the barn.

[font:Times New Roman]Keep us apprised of the results; hopefully we'll hear something more from vaultkeeper as well! [/font] Results are in - all the books came back with blue labels so when he said no restoration he was right. The grading is a different story, but since I basically agreed with the grading I can't complain. I think I was victimized by the death knell that is tanning as I believe the books otherwise would have graded where I believed they would. The impact of tanning on grade is not something that seems to be consistent - to me it is more of an intangible than a rip, tear or crease and lately it has been my achilles heel in assessing a raw books grade. All and all no complaints about Tomorrows Treasures and I am either subconsciously endorsing or just a glutton for more CGC tanning punishment because I just bought another book from them that may get the same treatment - we shall see...

Two more a Northford and Bethlehem recently graded:

Crippen Copy:

Great group shot of Famous Funnies
