Yeah, this thread is insane lately. How 'bout I throw in one of these bad boys?

 

 

 

I love, love, love this cover - had a chance to buy a waterstained but decent looking copy from Rich Muchin, but the price was too high and the moisture damage bothered me. It sold of course before I got a second chance.

 

Here's my copy. As far as I can tell, the only work done to the book is a little reinforcement and color touch at the bottom staple and a 1 inch tear seal on the back cover. Was think about sending it to Matt to see if the work could be removed. Opinions?

Tough call - sell it to me and remove the dilemma!

I had a similar thought

 

If that is the only work done it would be worth removing if you are considering resale.

 

Though if you plan to keep it, the removal may detract from the appearance and it is fine just the way it is right now.

 

So for me the decision to remove or not would depend on what I intended to do with the book.

I think this thread still needs a little more PEP...

 

Ok, movie was awesome IMHO, and what was going on here wasn't too bad either... ok, here we go: Great key David, wow, 1940, that's 75 years of the Shield. How appropriate this thread has taken a celebratory lean as late.

And Walclark, iv'e said it before, AWESOME copy of this book you have there. Considering not much has been done in the way of conservation/restoration, i'd opt to have Matt remove the work.

This cover has a early 'Marvel Mystery' vibe to it. Larson. You are the man!

Agreed....maybe like Marvel 6...

Thats another one that made HA's 10 rarest MLJ list, and I agree. And when you do see one, it's beyond beater, more like ' life support' .great cover, and colors ( blues)

I've really been enjoying these Steve. I didn't realize how deep your MLJ collection runs. I'm also enjoying the return of the magic camera.

Naw, the villain's faces just don't look green enough. This Mystery Men is perfectly sick...

Thanks - this thread has been great this week thanks to everyone's contributions.

Actually, I only have three dozen superhero MLJ's - many are pedigrees and/or high grade, so what I am missing in quantity I have made up with quality.

 

MLJ's are such great books...
