  1. If it was my book I'd just leave it. Everybody has their own preferences, but professional tear seals have got to be among the least troublesome of any type of conservation/restoration for me.
  2. Especially since not every seller leaves feedback immediately. I usually do mine once a week and sometimes even longer than that.
  3. Was Spiro in this one, too? Spiro Agnew spoke very tough. Spiro Agnew spoke off the cuff. All of his friends in the north and the south, Couldn't remove Spiro's foot from his mouth.
  4. At least they've left the thread up. WHICH THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO!
  5. He did a lot of Spidey Super Stories, too, but I'm blanking on what the credits looked like and don't have time to pull any.
  6. Come on guys!!! This is a useful thread. Let's not get it shut down. This is not the place to have a gun discussion. Chill out.
  7. Another rough copy with no upgrade. I always had trouble finding the right copy so I settled for this cheapie as a placeholder. Like my #116, I've passed up some decent copies on the Boards because I wanted to spend my money on other books.
  8. Mostly reprints but with some new material and first appearances by Z-listers like Dr. Spektor, Tragg, Count Wulfstein et. al.
  9. I'll second that. Mike is a great guy, very gregarious, entertaining and funny. He's no wallflower!
  10. Back to beaters. #116 dogged me a bit. I was only coming across low grade copies or high grade copies I didn't want to drop the coin on. I settled on this for a place holder but have never gotten around to upgrading. I let a few go by on the Boards that would have suited me, but I didn't have the interest when they popped up.
  11. Back to blunted corners for me. Unlike Matt, I hated this storyline and felt it was a padded, unimaginative retread. I recall the dialogue being very drawn out and only a fractional amount of what it was in the series' heyday.
  12. Be courteous, kind and forgiving, Be gentle and peaceful each day, Be warm and human and grateful, And have a good thing to say. Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike, Be witty and happy and wise, Be honest and love all your neighbors, Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant. Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus, Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent, Criticize things you don't know about, Be oblong and have your knees removed. Be tasteless, rude, and offensive, Live in a swamp and be three dimensional, Put a live chicken in your underwear, Go into a closet and suck eggs.
