When? Less than 10 minutes. I'm finishing the list.

One of your HOM 205 undercopies?

I'll be listing several books tonight in the marketplace.

That, my friends, is the total number of posts in the pulled posts area. How many were mine? None Is that your final answer? (you will be incorrect.)

Ink density can have an effect on the gloss. The ink has an inherent sheen that will be richer when the ink is applied more heavily. However...Most of the gloss comes from the actual paper. One book I've noticed in particular is Marvel Team Up #15. All of the copies I've ever seen have a gloss so rich, I thought it was sprayed on afterwards. I think this comes from the type of paper, because I've compared it with other issues from the same era and the paper is definitely different. I don't have time at the moment, but I'll post some stuff in the thread in the next few days. Some "Show and Tell". I have some good stuff for you guys. I have no idea about the polybag stuff. FFB has done more research in that than I have.

Must be "Red X" pedigree.

Great report, Shiv. Let us know what you picked up. I have yet to find a nice HOM 236.

I hit the motherload of crusty bags in Dallas. Some sweet books were inside.

Recent pickup.

Blows my copy away.

I thinking about submitting my copy in a few weeks. Not quite a 9.6, but pretty nice. I'd love to add a pedigree copy to my collection, but I'm always a day late or a dollar short when they come up for sale at *reasonable* prices. The only pedigree books I have are from the "DiceX's Back Pocket" collection. Rolled spines and lots of creases.

Sweet books!

No fair playing the "Slab" card.

I'll see your 151...and raise you one.

Don't encourage him.

Have any high grade ones?

Use silver age size.

I already have one.

Highlights of the past week...

A story about Greggy in a horror comic!

I prefer they keep this stuff as it is in the guide. Makes for better deals when I'm buying.

Ironically, I bought several lots from a seller on eBay that graded everything "Fine". These were the jewels. The others are F to VF. Needless to say, I almost stained my pants as I was unpacking the box. As fate could only bring balance in my world, I also received a "VF/NM" lot of 43 books from another seller that the grades ranged from 0.5 to a solid 5.0. More were under 3.0 than were over it. Needless to say, I almost stained my pants as I was unpacking the box.
