Just for fun, my bet is on Silly Putty. Faces were a common target for lifting images with the stretchy goo, although it worked better on interior pages than covers, IIRC. Blimey, good shout Unca Ben! I like the way your mind works

So far, yes, just those 5 months in the thread title. I'm sure you know this already, but this site will tell you the books cover dated for each of the 5 months: http://www.dcindexes.com/features/newsstand.php?type=cover&month=10&year=1999&publisher=marvel&sort=alpha&checklist=null The above are the October books and you can click along for the November to February books. As I pontificated earlier in the thread, there could be as many as 450 eligible books, but actual numbers are likely to be much less if not all titles had newsstand copies made (as seems to be the case). It would be great if you could just find some of the 'missing' books on this chart I did for the titles where a $2.29 or $2.49 copy has been found. Green means I have evidence, yellow means no variant likely (due to being a double size issue) and white means no copy yet found: Find us some whites! Good luck, and do report back

I like it, yes. A bit like those old "your 100 best tunes" LPs. The era of board nostalgia may indeed be upon us Golders, yes. Trouble is, there doesn't appear to be any 'us' around lately to give a hoot.

Thank you very much. You should swing by more often. We need all the English wit we can get (wit, I said). Thing is, what to do with this thread now.... Any suggestions?

Pictorial Romances 10
Get Marwood & I replied to torontodesignguy's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I'll have a go torontodesignguy seeing as you've been left hanging. Tricky one due to the tears and back cover shadow. It says 6.5 to me without the tears. Maybe drops to a 5.0 with them. Nice looking cover, if a little miswrapped. Let's see if that drags anyone else in.... -

Cover tanning?
Get Marwood & I replied to rogersisco's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
So cover tanning gets hammered, because tanning indicates structural degradation. But interior page quality - e.g. cream / tan - has no bearing on the final grade. Is that what we're saying? -
Cover tanning?
Get Marwood & I replied to rogersisco's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I suppose CGC deserve great respect for where they've taken the hobby. But I have to say, I personally find the whole slabbing thing to have too many questionable practices / downsides and prefer to buy books on the basis of my own grading instincts and the oft ignored eye appeal. -
Cover tanning?
Get Marwood & I replied to rogersisco's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
No, I see what you mean. One aspect I don't like with graded books is where two identical looking books have the same grade yet one has inferior page quality. If, as you say, page quality does not affect grade, then a white page 8.0 gets the same 'kudos' as a cream paged 8.0. Yet the cream pages indicate the beginning of deterioration. So how can they be equally graded? Page quality is structural too. Isn't it?
