Boredom and Photoshop are bad things...

 

Happy Thanksgiving my friend!

Are the Atlas Sci-Fi books Speed Carter Spaceman rare, or just rarely slabbed?

Dear Gator--how would you grade Richie's new Startling # 10? I note that he says it has neither "restored" nor his dreaded "conserved," but have a hard time thinking it'd reach 5.5, or that even he would shirk slabbing it if it would.

 

If it were even a mere 4.5, I think $1,900's a more-than-fair price, but I defer to your wisdom.

I see them around so likely not slabbed all that frequently (value vs costs of slabbing)

It's no secret that richie and cgc don't grade the same. Rely on your gut...impossible to grade off a f.c. Scan.

[Gatsby77]

Thanks much!

 

My gut says to be happy with my slabbed 4.0 copy, but I literally looked for six years before finding anything other than a coverless copy of that book.

 

If this were a legit 4.0 or better, I wouldn't hesitate, but too many variables for a no-longer must-have.

it certainly "appears" to be in the VG range...

Dear Gator,

 

Is it true what I heard that you are a "20th century icon"?

[Mmehdy]

Right up there with Tom Ed, Tes, and Ridley Scott.

Do you happen to know the record for points scored by a visiting team at Florida Field/Ben Hill Griffin Stadium?

in the modern era it was 42 points to vandy in 2005 (we won in ot)...in a loss it was 41 points to Miami in 2002

 

We are down 8 of our top 11 defenders and our top 6 lbs are injured/out. I would expect 45+ from fsu short of a miracle
