Here's my JIM # 83, purchased at Sid's Luncheonette the same day as my AF # 15... \:o

 

I humbly submit that this is the nicest looking CGC 6.5 on the planet...

Gorgeous book!!

you've hit the proverbial nail on the head... (thumbs uaccording to the boys down south there is a small chunk missing from an interior page (I think Newt tore it out by accident :grin:). the missing piece is located in the margin only.i think the book looks at least a 7.5 and that would make a small missing interior piece worth at least a full point... :oHell that AF 15 graded 5.0 ( in the af 15 appreciation thread) has got accumulated marvel chipping that big and it's on the cover!! Oh well, who ya gonna call???

Thanks Jimbo - I remember the first time i ever showed it to anyone. Back around 1988 - the local comic shop guy had to call his buddy to tell him about the JIM #83 that had just walked in the door... :grin:

I was checking out JIM 83's a couple of years ago when they were much cheaper, and wanted a 6.5 but could never get the money together at the right time.None of them were anywhere near as nice as that 8.0 you have sitting in a 6.5 slab.I'm not as picky as some when it comes to the interior...missing pieces that don't affect the story,names written on the title page, and inside tears never bothered me below the 9.0 or above range. NICE book.Did you ever get your ST 110 back yet? GOD BLESS...-jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

And look at that upper right corner...square, straight & sharp!!

 

How'd Harry get that booger to stay that way for 45+ years? I'm impressed!!

If you dig through some old threads you will see that Harry simply stacked them in a dresser drawer, no bags or boards which is just mind boggling when you think of it. Harry what's the notes on that J.I.M. #83 and is this book still available? Stain on the inside pages?
