Looks under graded judging from the cover? Rick did you get this graded yourself because it has 3 sharp corners and a crisp spine you typically see on 8.5 copies.

Just got this little gem in from our boy Steve 143ksk. It should keep my #9 nice and warm.

 

Thanks for taking my money being patient.

 

Believe me when I tell you the book looks way better in hand than a scan can show.

 

Along with the book Steve sent me an original 1964 post dated envelope that this book was mailed in when it was sold as a back issue AND a little hand written note inside the envelope from a creator (I'll have to do a little research for a back story on him) that sold the book to another collector. I'll have to scan that soon for y'all to see. All in all a very cool package! Thanks Steve!

Congrats Roy! That's a nice copy. What does it grade out at.

[VintageComics]

Tough call Vern. Steve sold it to me as a 3.0. Initially I disagreed (when I first saw the scan of the book with the pieces on the spine missing) but then he brought it to Chicago and when I saw it in hand I thought "man this book is too nice to be a 2.5 from all the rough 2.5's I've seen". Without the pieces missing it'd probaly be in the 7.0/7.5 range.

 

I'm going to stick with the 3.0 grade for now. Who knows what CGC will grade it? 2.5/3.0/3.5?

 

All my personal copies are unlsabbed so it'll stay that way until it's time to sell.

 

I may rescan it and get some opinions in the grading forum a bit later on.

 

It's really a gorgeous book in hand though.
