Grease pencil isn't easy to address without risk of a restoration label; I'd be very reluctant to have it removed...

+1, I don't think I have ever seen a successful removal of a grease pencil mark and the ones I have seen where someone tries to remove it look real bad.

Nice book, but if that were mine, that grease pencil mark would be removed in a NY minute. 

Perhaps...but its not an eyesore to me

[sartrexpress]

a recent upgrade... really tough book in grade

[sartrexpress]

recent addition

[sartrexpress]

An add from the Comic Buyers Guide from the 90's. Look at those prices for Chicago Marvel Mysteries. I bought a few then but most were already sold out. I wonder what happened to that Brooklyn dealer.

Just got this back from Cgc. Super excited. 

One of my favorite Schomburg covers! I really wanted the Promise Collection copy until I saw it. 

[Frisco Larson]

Recent purchase.

It can be very easily removed in many cases.

You have an example.  I have never seen it.

In another companies' holder, I still need to get this crossed into a CGC holder. Unrestored 7.5 ow as is. I have a thing for this store stamp. 

[Frisco Larson]

Once again, I dig this store stamp and this title. I know there's a Marvel Mystery #20 floating around out there with the same store stamp, as a friend used to own it but can't remember who he sold it to.

Wow! A MM 46 in fine for $225.!

We look at those prices with astonishment now but that was still a lot of money back then to the average collector. If we only knew…

I owned a Science 5 with the same stamp and have seen one or two other books.

That's great! I'd love to see the Science 5 if you care to post it!

Had to replace my old copy.😩

I missed out on upgrading my MM #52 yesterday. Pretty bummed, but the 6.0 just went for too much.

Big want for me now is Captain America #47.

The eye appeal seems higher than the assigned grade. And this is certainly one of the half dozen or so “break-out” books of the whole run. Congratulations!
