What is that???

Some Gold Keys to rehash!

Jim that weed cover and especially this head-in-the-box cover are truly horrific covers. Thanks for posting. I will try to post some GK books later tonight. Maybe some pretty covers will distract some of this "ill will" going around!

I didn't see, what grade and for how much did it sell for? Man, this used to be a nice friendly thread, is the holiday stress overflowing onto these boards lately or what? BassGMan must have missed your post, the WWT # 64 was listed as a NM-. BOC posted a link to it. Does this book really deserve this amount of money??? The bar has been raised on this issue and also on WWT # 72 (unless these are just isolated incidents of overpaying!)

I think someone else deserves the But congrats on that $$$ Frank Millar issue.

Sterling, very nice grades you got there. Love those Unexpecteds! Slightly OT Man, can't believe that WEIRD WAR TALES #64 went for so much on ebay just now!

First of all, GREAT BOOKS! Hooray for Charlton Horror! I also share your liking of this cover, for me I think it's the facial expressions of the characters that does it.

Wow! Here's to resubmission Congrats on those 9.6's also! Question: Are the rejected books ones that are not cut squarely and might get damaged if encased, or were they below an acceptable grade for slabbing?

Yes I recall reading something about that in a thread on these boards. Something about marked for military sales? I'll have to do a search tomorrow for that.

Thanks Shiver. I only picked up interest in that issue after seeing it on your site as "1st Spear of Destiny" Another interesting thing about this issue, it contains a full lenght story from cover to cover. Are any other issues of WWTs one story issues?

Something a little different but I could not pass this up for 5 bucks! Hey! It's technically Copper Horror...

They are a bit hit or miss but usually very close, the WWT # 50 was graded NM. I would say it is 9.0 slightly rounded corners and a nutsack crease on back.

This just came in from NeatStuff Coll. What makes this cool for me was that while reading it I found it has a Mark Jewelers insert. First one I ever came across.

Don't give up Keith!!! You're almost there! Your Fright Night scan was 6x4 @ 72 DPI, just go a little bigger. What software do you use? Here's your scan enlarged to 10" high. I also used the "sharpen" filter in Photoshop to get rid of some of the blur.

Keith, when I first joined the forums and wanted to post I just downloaded someone elses cover scan that was a nice large size, opened it up in Photoshop and looked at the image size. Then I simply matched my posted scans to a similar size and DPI. If you don't have Photoshop I'm sure other imaging software can do the same. Anyway my .jpg scans are roughly 7.5 x 10.5 @ 72 DPI set at 4 quality (lower compression). They seem to work fine on these boards!

BassGMan, Nice Bats! The more I see this book on the forum is making it harder not to seek one out for myself. Re: the WH # 38, would you mind posting? I also am trying to get a handle on how CGC grades these 100 page issues and would like to see what they consider a 7.0. Or maybe just a close-up of the corners if you could? Would be appreciated.

What gets me is wondering how much a professional color touch would cost versus the price of that book. Would it be cost effective? (not that I know much regarding restoration pricing).

YOW! I can't believe people are restoring Bronze books! I guess it was bound to happen though with bronze being hot currently. I was just admiring that Ghosts # 28 when I saw the PLOD. I'd like to hear the resto notes also, bum deal!

Quit "P u - s -s y - footin' " around, Jayman, what's the real answer!!?? That is the answer, my man! And "Pussyfootin' Around" is a great song by one of my favorite bands, Gomez!

I will answer this question: Who is the Sphinx! I am Ken Jennings.

Yeah no kidding! I have some later issues with heros; the Sub-Mariner vs Torch and the FF vs Mad Thinker and also the Fin Fang Foom issue but that's been posted before. I picked these up in the early 80's at a flea market. They were my third choice, no.1 being a beautiful copy of Famous Monsters # 13 for $100 that I really wanted but couldn't afford, no.2 a copy of Famous Monsters # 2 for $50 but had a coupon clipped so I couldn't do it, then no.3 a longbox full of old beat up Marvels. Believe me beat up, I at least picked out ones that had whole covers attached!

Last one but waddya know? My 1,000th Post!
