My new project... can I get one or even two decent reading copies from three .5 cheapies?  All three are firsts, before they dropped pages in the first reprint;

I like that idea and am considering doing that for a few of my incomplete Bakers.  Maybe we can swap left-over parts.  :tink:

Let me know if you need parts from the Classic Comics #32.  I wound up with a decent interior with a somewhat beat up cover, which I'm keeping, a decent interior with a very beat up cover with heavy tape on the spine and elsewhere, and a copy missing the back cover and a chunk about 3x2 inches from the bottom of pg 5-6. 

It was that missing corner that lead me to buy the two .5's from Lone Star, because it's one of the pages that was dropped starting with the first reprint.  But, as is often the case with Lone Star, the books were in far better condition than I would expect... they outright screwed up on one, the person who did the page count didn't realize it was one of those weird 56 page issues and flagged it incomplete.

It was funny seeing the last APC issue (poor condition) repeatedly posted on feebay and not selling, only to now show up for a ridiculous "flip" price.

Hey guys I’m the seller of the Greek CL25; just a wanted to say thanks for the research you guy did in this thread. When I bought the book I had no idea it had any significance; I just liked the cover. Just pure dumb luck haha.. I really love this book but I just payed big money for my own personal grail which is a Mexican x-men 1 from 1966 (I’ll include picture) so I figured it’s time to pass this book on to someone who will cherish it. If anyone’s bidding on it good luck; I have zero clue what its value would be but there’s already a couple bids so I’m happy.
