    Incorrect.  The covers on these SA Marvel square-bounds were attached via a bead of adhesive placed along the spine (as is done in the method known as "perfect binding").  Staples were used during production, but only to hold together the interior leaves/wraps.  Your images of the back cover indicate that three post-manufacturing staples have been added.  For what it's worth ......  :foryou:

    It’s worth a lot to me! I have so few of these square bounds, you are so right, no evidence of any staples on the back covers of any of them.  Front cover completely split, 3 staples added after production. Thanks a lot for clearing that one up.

    Really Fun To read these reactions.
     

    That must have been the most amazing experience (in hand). For a man who obviously needs little advice here - I will just say - cherish all these moments - they are fleeting and I suspect you will remember things like holding it in hand more than the cash itself 10+ years from now. You deserve  this homie. Now, GET PAID! Nice pickup with picky btw- I see you are “starting early” in putting this payout to good use (thumbsu.

    love everything about this .

    I feel we should crown thee “Sir Corvonie”, after this win .

     

    “Sir Leonard Washington”. Incredible result man, huge congratulations on this one.

    I hereby award myself: Silky Johnson status. The most coveted and misunderstood of all Chapelle show positions. Fair?

    lol fair. What an amazing skit. Immediately I picture him talking with the toothpick in his mouth.  I shall remain Rick “Jones”, *****. 

  4. Hello, 

    looking for estimates on this well read copy. From what I can see, the front cover is hanging on by the original middle staple, and 2 new ones have been added to hold it in place, one at the top, and one at the bottom. The front cover appears to have been detached apart from at the middle staple. 
    Thank you!

    Did NOT expect a “sir” response from

    Rick Jones - I guess even Rick Jones matures with age…sigh.

    DEF the best handle I’ve seen on the boards though - agree with @Corvonie

    ^^

    3 years ago when I was Covid bored and thought it up, I would have been happy with someone just getting the chapelle’s show reference. I happily accept your high praise and will refrain from using the word “sir” in the future, Rick Jones is more street than that. Thanks @Corvonie @TheComicsPreacher

  6. I’ve always wondered how the rest of the collecting, particularly the Incredible Hulk collecting world, ranks the desirability of issues #4 through .#6 of the original series. As values and sold prices go, they tend to fluctuate between the 3, with each one having its time in the sun as the most valuable/desirable issue(no need to debate 1 through 3 I would say). Issue 4 is of course the earliest, with an origin story, issue 5 has the 1st appearance of a long lasting minor marvel villain in Tyrannus, and issue 6 has the ambiance of Ditko’s first work on the Hulk/cool cover. Personally I like them in the order they were released, 4 best 5 second best 6 third. How do the rest of you feel about these 3 issues? 
    ps I don’t own any of them lol.

    I think it looks great but I'm new to this.

    Lol thanks. In this forum, board members attempt to assign a CGC numerical or old school(GD, F-VF, NM for example) grade to the comic whose pictures are provided.  For example, @scburdet(who is usually very good at grade estimates btw) guessed it would receive a 7.5. Feel free to give it a shot if you like!
