  2. By doing this, are you collecting what you enjoy? If so then that's not crazy. It sounds like fun!
  3. take. Ah, gunsmokin beat me. Nice pickup.
  4. Thanks, everyone, for the helpful feedback. I had it at 6.5. At a first quick look it appears to be around the 8.0 mark in terms of gloss, no signs of writing, tears, missing pieces, stains or long color breaks. On closer look, there are minor short color break lines on the front cover which lower the grade to 7.0 or 7.5, and then the condition of the corners take it to 6.5. I wasn't sure how to adjust for the triangle-shaped defect but based on the feedback I'm getting I think it would fall within the 6.5 grade. I also did not count off for the rough cutting along the open page edge of the back because it's minor and clearly from a dull cutting edge (production issue). It doesn't even affect the presentation value of the book. Overall a pretty book with nice centering, strong colors, no distributor marks and hardly any spine stress issues.
  5. What do you think the small triangle shaped defect along the bottom edge of the front cover is? It does not have the same gloss when viewed at an angle. But it has no different feel to the fingertip. Thanks for looking.
  6. Looking to trade rather than sell, but I have a price on it just in case and so, therefore, the rules.

Nova #1 1976 signed (571 signed copies on the census), this one a CGC 8.5 signed by the creator and story writer Marv Wolfman. Looking to trade for a signed copy of Avengers Annual 10 (1274 signed copies on the census). If you have an interest then send me a PM / DM. BIN price is $225.
  7. Pretty book. Presents very well from the front and centering looks great. No writing or date stamps. The inside of the front cover - is that showing a water stain? And I'm not sure if the discoloration on the back is oxidation or from a liquid. No tears that I see. And just a little tiny piece missing from the bottom front cover. Even if I was holding this book I think I might not know enough about grading to grade it. Would look great in a slab, especially with a clean and press. I'm interested in keeping an eye on this one.
