The Secret Wars run was from a small collection I picked up in Lees Summit, Mo about 12 years ago. 6 long boxes, he wanted $200. Sure. There were lots of early Harley Quinn appearances (no BA 12), lots of cool Indie and Manga, Ghosts in The Shell, Domu, nearly a full run of Blade of the Immortal...still waiting for that movie! I think the Godzilla/Barkley was in there as well. And the Secret Wars. They sat for all this time I finally figured, screw it, pressed them and sent them in, Definitely some good stuff in there I like that Jim Lee wolverine! Mine came back like 8.0 cd4ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOnly25Cents Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 one thing that bothers me though is while this graded a 9.0 (CCS pressed) the grader notes only indicate a single flaw (one of which I cannot even see on the book) Grader Notes:slice in top staple area back cover additional pics of back, after and before slabbing Krismusic, ADAMANTIUM and grendelbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a nice book though, so "slice at staple? " I wonder how that is different from a split spine, how do they quality it a "slice?" Idk 😐 Edited August 20, 2022 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I wonder how that is different from a split spine, how do they quality it a "slice?" Idk 😐 A slice at staple is where the paper splits between the two staple holes. Since square bound books are not stapled along the spine, the split happens about 1/4 inch in from the spine.

It's appreciated and I was going to say I didn't see staples, it didn't click that it was square bound, so that makes sense.

Do they look worse in person? Overall, were the rest of the slabs clean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it for tree-fiddy Well for $3.50 early on when I got back into collecting, read it and put it away. FYI the Dirty Pair is also Adam Hughes, and is a Dave Stevens cover homage to Planet Comics They've collaborated before, but this issue is more modern and after Stevens passed of course Krismusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
