Some of you may know the cover to Psycho 12 has a white border around Jeff Jones art. For whatever reason this white is notoriously dingy and yellowed. I have always been on the lookout for a nice pure white cover but have never come across one. I saw this book on eBay with not the best photo and decided to take a chance as even in the poor lighting, the cover looked promising with its even tone. Here is the picture from the listing and my scan of the book. Following are my two other best copies that have the yellowed covers. To say I’m thrilled is an understatement! WOW! That is bone white, congrats on that find. Jayman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThothAmon Posted January 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Some non comic mags in my collection. I’m hoping someday the high grade music/rock/popular culture mags will have CGC demand. Got lots of them! Here’s a sample.

I'd like them to be a little larger, like yours appear to be. I'm currently using the Comic Pro Line 56PT boards. I love their thickness, but wish that they were a little larger. They're 81/2X11".

The best Magazine boards in my opinion are E Gerber's Full-Backs, a bit pricey, especially for me as I have to get them shipped to the UK, but well worth it.

I've been using their silver/golden sized for my comics, and they are nice. I wanted something a little thicker for my mags, and the 56pt boards were the answer, but imo they're just a little too small in size. The Gerbers would give me an extra 1/8" in width, a 1/16" on each side, which isn't too much. I think an extra an extra 1/4", an 8 3/4X11" would be great. That would give an extra 1/8" on each side of the mag. It would be a better fit in the 9X11.5" Mylite2's, too. I'll just have to make do with what I can get.
