johnny54321 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 New purchase!! Woohoo!! I am in the club! I usually like to think my comics are better than the grade, but I fear this one may be slightly overgraded. I am ok with it, as its a great book, but its not as sharp as some of the other 5.0s out there. It is well centered, lays flat, and not a single cover crease other than a very light corner crease, but the spine has some significant wear, and even a few small tears. thoughts?

johnny54321 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks for the comments all. The full quote never occurred to me, I'm glad to have this forum to inform me! I looked at 7 or 8 TOS 39 examples on ebay, and none had 2 full quotes.It will be a good thing to remember if I ever need to sell the book.

dscott Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hey guys been busy with work lately and SS stuff. Ill get all these clubs updated sometime this month. Its great to see all the new members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny54321 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 That is a nice looking example for a 3.0 Erndog!! It looks like a higher grade to me. I dont know if it is just the cream background on the cover in the pictures of a TOS39, but these books often look higher than their designated grade to me via pictures. Anyways, that is me spidervacc, and I definitely got bit by the comic bug! I also purchased a low grade X-men 1 and Incredible Hulk 181. Really keeping my eyes open for an Incredible Hulk 1 blue label with a grade of 1.8-2.5 for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that too but never really looked into it or anything. Here's my copy with both quotes! It's pretty uncommon. I've only seen a handful with both quotes. Don't really know how to quantify it, but if I had to make a wild guess, I'd say less than 10%. This one really doesn't qualify as it appears to only have part of the second quote.
