Back after 54 weeks in Econ queue!  Really though it would score be 9.8, nicked for some alleged tanning. As with what I estimate to be 75-80% of Oakland's the book does not have white pages.

Love the Steranko-esque cover by Barry Smith. A 1998 $30 purchase from Vinny.

Out of pure Nostalgia this book was part of a joke submission.

When I was a kid back in 1988/89 my LCS got in a lower grade collection of Silver Age. Most went into the quarter bins. For me at any rate it was like a treasure chest finding cover intact reader copies. I grabbed so many that I got them 5 for $1. 

When I saw the Metal Men issue without the number on cover I opened the cover to reveal #1 in the indicia and was overjoyed. It was also one of the nicer condition books in the bin.

Here is my .20 cent copy of Metal Men #1, while I'm a high grade collector overall the memories are often just as important  to me as condition.

I've recently learned that for a time DC didn't put #1 issue numbers on their comics, ie yours and Atom, I'd have not seen the period nor had time to learn it, if it weren't pointed out to me.

Love stories that have a bit of nerd to it haha

More from the joke submission mentioned in my last post,all recently back after more than a year. Same story and nostalgic memories for me as the Metal Men 1, All were .20cents each.

One of the bigger books of the late Silver Age, frequently tough to get decent black covers.  Arrived in yesterday's mail from @jbpez.  Most of the seeming "scuffing" is on the mylar, not the book.  Has an interesting NCB bend all along the right side of the cover, probably a 1/4 inch in from the edge.  Probably some kind of storage error during its long life.

Huge box of Silver Age in from a boardie! Lots of great stuff!
