VintageComics Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Peewee's also cracked out his FF #1 and AF #15 and shared those pics with us. I'm thankful that the hobby has people like this as comics are for sharing, not hiding. so start cracking Share Bear I wanna see some interior pics of this one: I was going to crack that in Chicago in front of the fellow geeks but was just too busy and overwhelmed to enjoy myself. Video footage it is! I'll be ready to crack it soon. Just want to say that guys like Peewee are assets to the hobby. I believe that comics are for enjoying. I have a hard time enjoy my books by simply looking at a cover through a plastic cover. That's why I've already cracked these books and photographed the interiors.

peewee22 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 This I'd love to see for myself But, he's not a dummy either. We're talking about a serious book that is 60-70 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korvac Saga Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 here is my one pick up from chicago Thanks to Rick for the speeeedy service and the opportunity to own this GEM. Anyone wanting to do biz with Rick will have no problema. He's fast, knowledgeable, fair, honest, and ships ultra fast. Enjoy the scans of a 50 year old rare event! Just a stellar copy of such a key book!! Love the interior pics as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I def. do not think it's a dummy move. I actually appreciate it when I hear collectors cracking slabs of expensive books. It's something I admire a lot because I am too chicken to crack slabs for my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time enjoy my books by simply looking at a cover through a plastic cover. Video footage would kick azz! As for the enjoyment factor, I was just rearranging my slabbed Avenger collection and thinking to myself "holy $%it!, this is cumbersome and somewhat annoying to move about."
