Just an insane level of goodness here. So many scarce and classic books in unheard of grades.

Plus CGC closed the thread for reviewing them. Yes, the points system is pretty funny. They should assign them backwards (highest point books being the last published rather than the number 1's). I gauge my success on the percent completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 14 hours ago, RICK STARR said: There is some significant rippling on the BC typical of giant sized issues. I probably should have it pressed before slabbing. 5 hours ago, Dr. Love said: nah wouldn't have helped much - edge rippling, like with the crippens they can smooth out, but on the squarebounds by the spine side, not so much beautiful books, it's been a while since you (or Ron or some other old timers!) showed some runs, your collection is outstanding Depending on the rippling, a press could really do some damage. Its such a lovely book to begin with I would avoid the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Bought this one was raw (as a 5.5) from Richie M about five years ago. Finally got it graded. A bit surprising that it's the only copy on the census. Kinda like the cover. Only wish it had been a full cover without the left-hand preview panels. comicjack and Ricksneatstuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's certainly an acquired taste. I like him and like talking to him face-to-face. Certainly has a lot stories about the hobby. No such thing as a quick conversation with him, though. Hard to know what to make of that post without seeing the books. I would think most dealers would be reluctant to offer much on a collection of taped-up books unless it contained keys or other hot books. I'm sure it can take forever and a day for a dealer to move such stuff. Edited January 8, 2018 by Sqeggs Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 This one just back today and doesn't appear to have been entered in the census, yet (unless there's glitch). Highest graded, but I don't think there are all that many people searching out and slabbing high-grade copies. szucchini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Only the second of these to be graded (the other is a 3.5), although I think several boardies own raw copies at least as nice. comicjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
