Cal recently bought a book from me. Cal is a great guy to deal with.

I liberated this book from a PGX slab (was 5.0). I was pretty nervous about buying a major book in a PGX slab for fear of hidden restoration or significant over-grading. I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out.

Wow! Great book, Lauren! (better late than never)

Beautiful!

I picked this one up recently. It will be on it's way to CGC soon.

very nice book!

For a 2.5, it is a very presentable copy.

Great looking book!

You can also download them for free from Archive.org. Thank you!

nice!

Thanks for the link on the radio recordings. I decided to buy the mp3 CD. That way I can load it on my iPod and listen to it during my commute.

Very nice! Does anyone know if any recordings of those Archie radio shows exist anywhere? I once heard a story about "The Man Who Saved Radio" about a man who happened to record a lot of old time radio shows. Apparently, he had the only recordings of a lot of the classic radio shows from the golden age of radio. The studios didn't think to save the archives.

Very nice B&V!

This just arrived today.

I believe that I posted this here a long time ago, but I didn't see it on the list of 75, so here it is.

Very nice!

The colors are beautiful on that book, Doug!

Thanks for noticing. It was a fun project yesterday.

Doug, do you plan to resub to CGC right after Joey works on it? Also, is the bottom right corner missing or can it be folding back down and pressed?

Really nice 1.8! Welcome to the X-men #1 club!

I don't have an unslabbed #1 to flip though, but a silver-age 12-cent Marvel of that era has 16 double sided pages, not counting the cover. To count for completeness, you should count 8 pages from the splash page to the centerfold (where you see the staples). You could continue and count 8 pages from the centerfold to the back page but it's not really necessary. There are 36 pages to X-Men 1 which include stories and ads. I just counted; I have an unslabbed copy. There are 23 pages of the story and thirteen pages of ads including a full-page in-house ad for Spidey #4. Very interesting. I've just counted the pages on about a dozen 60s comics and they are all 32 pages. So, I guess they decided to put a little more in X-Men #1. I wonder if there are any other books where they added an extra 4 pages.

David paid right away and was a pleasure to deal with.

Also of note, there are 23 story pages in X-Men #1. The other 9 single-sided pages will be ads, letters to the editor, etc. I wish I had a reader to confirm to total count.
