Oh man! I'll just take my piddling little collection back home. :sorry:

 

Seriously, thanks for posting this run. You guys made my night! :whee:

 

:grin: Straw-Man & Bedrock are good cheap dates. (thumbs u

 

After trying to collect even low-grade Timelys, hooray for cheap dates!

 

:foryou:

That's a first. I had never seen remarks on label stating that a book was "pressed."

 

I'd seen a few at the very beginning of CGC but my understanding is that a certain Oklahoma City collector/investor/lawyer threatened holy {SPOON} when he sent in a large batch of comics that came back PLOD pressed and that was the end of the pressed designation.

 

As always on rumors :gossip: your milage may vary. :devil:

When a cover is noted as being cleaned and pressed, it means that it has been wet washed. The two go together. The only way of getting it flat again is to press it.

Now I wonder who that might be... hm

 

:idea: Naw, couldn't be...

...but if by the most unlikely of coincidences this old photo is of the gentleman to whom you're referring, then I'm sure that his pressing objections to the PLOD label was a selfless act that had our community's best interest at heart. ...Ummm, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! (thumbs u

Yeah, it's not easy to miss, Doiby. :grin:

 

:gossip: BTW, if Billy hates the book that much I can always use a reading copy. :whistle:

I never really noticed how much they all look the same until you posted them side by side.

 

I wish those old cap covers had some action in them.

At least Superman and Batman back then had pets and rainbows on their covers.

Kind of like a forum dinner.
