That’s the 36 btw.

Two I found recently going through my boxes. I must have neglected to scan them and completely forgot I had them!

I think the seller cropped out the 8.0 parts and left us with a 6.0 copy!

Congrats and welcome to the club! 😁 It truly is a beast of a book. It held my top spot in my collection till I got another hard cover book. Your copy looks to be in excellent condition too!

Yeah, that’s pretty thick just under 7/8 of an inch. I don’t believe the mag holders can accommodate that size. Not sure even the newer pulp cases get that thick but I could be wrong. Best of luck!

I don’t know the answer myself, but perhaps post the thickness in inches or at least a pic of the spine to get a more accurate answer.

Fascinating stuff @Professor K! My only CA book.

Magical things happen! The showing of some top examples of books and the sharing of some of the history behind them was such a treat. Just one phenomenal book after another! Seeing first hand the page quality on certain copies takes the appreciation to the next level.

At least! And that is just what Adamstrange decided to share with us. It was nice to finally meet the legendary Vaultkeeper too! All the books and OA to look at was such a treat. Still processing all I got to see!

It was a great visit! There just wasn’t enough time to go through all the jaw dropping items. The pizza was good too!

Or the second print of issue 1… First print

This. When I first got serious collecting PCH in the early 2000’s, I would turn my nose at anything below a 7.0. Of course there was more to choose from at way better prices. As time went on and prices rose, my standards started to ease up. 6.5 - 5.0 started to not look so bad if you really wanted a copy. I think the lowest grade I’ve gone to is 4.5 graded. But now even at these grades the prices are crazy high. It’s hard to believe some of the prices for slabbed beaters at around the 1.8 - 2.0 range go for. These books used to sell in groups of 5 - 10 for $50-$75. If anyone thinks prices are cooling, I believe they have been heating up!

My personal favorite.

Amazing thread! Thanks for sharing these gems.

And it does RM!

Found it! Here’s a better scan and a signed cert by Lon. Totally forgot about this one!

I’m going to dig it out tonight to look. I think I just may have forgotten about it!

I guess that settles it! Thank you!
