  1. Yes I did. He traced the H O R in the title - get it?
  2. Thanks to everyone who provided their opinions. It is much appreciated. I had this as a 2.5 possibly a 3.0, but if I were a buyer I'd want to see it called 2.5. Definitely better than a 2.0 given how well it presents, it's complete, and the spine does not have major problems. I'm glad to see I'm in the ballpark with others.
  3. Rough shape, but presents really well from the front which is what this book is all about. Rich colors. Nice centering. Complete. The writing on the back is obvious. The HOR in THOR has writing inside. It looks like glue has been slightly applied to the top staple. Am I right in thinking this book would still make the blue label? Half-inch spine splits at both top and bottom. Thanks for your feedback. I'll reveal my own thoughts about the grade in the coming days. Front Reverse Front interior cover Reverse interior cover Centerfold and staples Centerfold top staple close-up. Centerfold bottom staple close-up. Close-up of top staple at interior of front cover. Glue dab? Evidence of glue dab at top staple? From an early page in the book before the centerfold.
  4. Take at 15 percent off if that's the new BIN and qualifies for includes shipping.
  5. I wouldn't use any collectible as a vehicle for ROI. That's what the stock market is for.
  6. I would not pay 9.8 money for that book.
  7. Just got this back from CGC. Purchased it off these boards from @Batarag. He called it VF 8.0 and - Boom! - nailed it. Full gloss, rich colors, spot-on centering. Adventures of Jerry Lewis #97. Batman, Robin and The Joker on the cover. Appearances by Penguin and Riddler. Wow! I did not want to get it slabbed but it was too fragile to handle. All interior pages are held by staples but it's looking delicate. The Off-White pages is actually a relief because I had them as borderline cream. Love it! Don't know why it doesn't bring ASM 50 money. Which would you rather have? Honestly. Only 34 on the CGC Universal census including mine. Only 16 grade higher.
  8. How true. It is a happy memory in my brain, waking up in the hospital recovering from food poisoning and there stood my comforting parents, my Dad holding the copy of Marvel Team-Up #7 that had come in the mail that day.
  9. Here are the pictures of the interior back cover. @joeypost
  10. I noticed the book on the left has a whiter back than the book on the right. A closer comparison: And finally a close-up. It sruck me as more of a yellow difference than a reddish-brown. But maybe that's how light foxing looks? Thanks for your insights!
  11. I'm grateful you've made these books available. I'd even say you're being generous. But one guy snagging all 12 outstanding books doesn't strike me as being in the spirit of "disseminate". I get myself in trouble with these kind of snide, cynical observations. Always have. I don't know why I can't learn to just shut up.
  12. The titles are fantastically funny for the covers. "Men Today" and "Real Men". What kind of snap-shot in time is this?
