Holy spoon.

The JIM 85 got here safe and sound. Thanks!

Well, this thread shows a good reason why your window bags should have transparent fronts... http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7202962#Post7202962

The answer I have been reading is that he transfers his mind into the body of his twin brother (who was born a vegetable). But then, this begs the next question - why is he still in a wheelchair? Does his twin brother also just happen to be paralyzed?

And another question... what is the rule on putting extra microchamber paper inside a book? On golden age, thick books, it seems to me that some extra microchamber paper spaced throughout could be beneficial. Or, is this considered to be harmful?

Also, what do we do with the old cgc labels if we opened a case? Do we put the label in the window bag somewhere? I'm hoping the right thing to do is put it inside the comic (inside front cover)....

Early on in this thread, someone suggested just cutting through the backing board, and using that as your window instead of tape. That seems like a better idea to me than the tape method, because there is absolutely no danger of any stickiness, since there is no tape. But, no one seems to be echoing the idea... any reason?

I have a comic that is currently green-labeled because it has pages missing, and its grade is 3.0. If I got it signed so that it becomes a signature-series, what will be the color of the resulting label, and what will the grade be? Will it get knocked down to a 0.5?

Wow... I see in your profile that was your most desired collectible. Well, it was mine too. I didn't see that auction. I wish I had, but probably wouldn't have mattered - I think that low feedback would have scared me right off. That's got to be the score of a lifetime. I did manage recently to win that cap #4 on ebay (the low grade unrestored one). Hoping to get it cleaned, and pressed maybe. Not sure if that's such a great idea on such an old book though. I would love to get it signed by stan.

Wow... would absolutely love to have that one. Now, just get a stan lee sig on it (it's his first published work for timely) while he's still giving sigs, and that would be my ideal book. Mind if I ask how/where you came by it?
