Color breaks and a tear. It can be made flat but not whole. Not a good candidate.

DR.X Be thankful it was in a white area. Should press out no problem.

Yes, yes it is on both accounts.

I don't see the relevance unless... Were either of you reading a comic at time of conception?

You left out Birthdays Mike.

I used to own that, many moons ago,

Here is another tip. If you feel the urge to tape your books to the cardboard, please do not use packing/masking or painters tape. I get books sent to me that way all the time and I spend more time excavating the books out of the box/cardboard and yards of tape used than actually working on them. Here is the best way. Place books in another larger bag (already been said to death in this thread). Then tape that to the cardboard. A few pieces are enough. No need to wrap the entire bundle in packing tape. It will not undergo some kind of positive metamorphosis if wrapped that way. If you really want to make sure books arrive safely double box them. Use a flat rate medium size box from the PO that can hold 40-50 raw books. Pack that box using packing peanuts on either side of the books for protection with added cardboard on the ends to keep them from sliding back and forth. Then place that box inside a diamond box you can get from your LCS. Doesn't get better than that for a safe trip.

Yeah, I've been caught up in hype before. Probably explains why as a kid I owned a pair of Reebok pumps and MC Hammer pants. Leaning on this crutch as an adult is just lame. You said it yourself "unknowing, unfamiliar". Sorry, that's not my problem. That's a you problem. Get knowing. Get familiar. I still use Reebok pumps. They are attached to my skates. While wearing your Members Only jacket? No way. I was a Shams Da Baron man.

When I did a lot of travel for work I read all the Cussler books. Might have to re-read Raise the Titanic.

Re-reading Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Great book but horrible movie adaptation.

One of the forums good guys. Thanks Wes.

Might have to try that. I usually use a magazine bag. That way I can secure the comics (inside the mag bag) to the cardboard before sandwiching. That way the tape never comes into contact with the comic bag. Seems to work well enough. I do the same thing. Works well for up to 10 or so books.

Great cover. The rest of the books are not too shabby.

Someone picked mine out for me.

No scans yet but I just got back grades on the following plus a few purchases. Thor #193 CGC 9.4 OFF-WHITE TO WHITE Marvel Team -Up #1 CGC 9.4 WHITE Sub-Mariner #48 CGC 9.8 WHITE Where Monsters Dwell 18 9.8 WHITE Where Monsters Dwell 14 9.4 OFF-WHITE TO WHITE Fear #7 9.6 WHITE

Stickball and kick-the-can. Stickball during the day and KTC at night.

These were my favorites. Entertained me for every summer between 1970 and 1979.

Only book I'm keeping for my collection. Loser.

Nice haul.

The FF book does not look like it was pressed, or if it was he did not get all the pressable defects out. The cover did look cleaner so some dry cleaning may have happened.
