Yes, that's correct. Mine isn't graded, but I have one. It's a cool book, with that Kirby spider-less costume. I'll have to dig out my copy of that one. Good call!

Old school label goodness...

This is just all kinds of awesome!

Looks brighter in person. Love the red Marvel SA covers!

Look like a good candidate, nice colors!

I think there is a boxed set collection too. It's meant to be in B&W, so think of it that way. It was only colored for US audiences. I'm a huge fan, I even have a cel of Tetsuo from it. Maybe I'll open up my "Art of Wall" collection of it today!

An Epic issue? Not really... no. I mean, you can open the issues but certainly not all the way. The best chance you have is to read the tpb's (either the Epic ones or the DH ones). That or just deal with the back crease. I was pretty careful with mine (I have 1-38) so I'd like to think the spine creases are as thin as possible - if there are all. It's more about opening just enough and not as much, for example, as if you'd have to in order to see a double-page spread. As far as CGC goes, I guess in the same way. You can open and peek in without FULLY opening it wide. The Japanese had the right idea, in their "collected editions" they are very easily opened, as the spines aren't hard, but they are bound in a plastic-like book with a wrap. Awesome stuff, I have those 6 too. Of course they are like phone book* paper and B&W, but still cool. *Anyone old enough to recall what a phone book is?

Always loved the red trunks! I even have one of these:

While we're here.... here is my ASM #1 GRR. It's in really nice shape too. I got this before my "real" #1 because I wasn't sure if I'd ever get one of those. In any case I'm glad I snagged this! Back then this was very affordable and collectors seemed to only want the set. When I got this off ebay the seller even included this grading scale that he used and I kept it with the book. Also, I'm scanning a stack on my ungraded ASM's for this little endeavor, so please forgive me for not removing them from mylars!

I guess 3 is the go to number! Got mine around 2000 to close out the run.

Mask Comics #1 & 2. ASM 1

Do you have any Hitchcock movie insert posters?

Ok, Google can take me to weird things. Does anyone own one of these?

Best story title ever! I want one for that alone!

What can I say..... I have issues...

Well done gentlemen! @Frisco Larson I must mention that while it's a great copy, it's a quite unfortunate reflection your finger made on that pic...

Me and Overstreet with GA books.

And FINALLY my LB Cole Captain Aero run is complete!

Sweet book! Sure, go for it! If you have an AF 15 to start with (I don't! ) go for it. I'd participate when / if I can. Maybe it'd get me to scan the ones that I don't have slabbed yet. Then in a few months we can all disagree when the SA ends.

Ok, now I gotta look into it... Found this: https://noirencyclopedia.wordpress.com/2018/05/12/book-the-case-of-the-dancing-sandwiches-1951-by-fredric-brown/ "The Case of the Dancing Sandwiches was originally published in book form in 1951 by Dell as a slim, 10c volume reprinting a 1950 magazine version; it’s the Dell book that I read. Brown apparently intended to expand the novella as a novel, but never finished; there’s a 1985 edition that contains the novella and the novel fragment, plus an intro by the redoubtable Lawrence Block."
