:insane: Freakin high grade is right dammit! :o You could say I am a little jealous.... but when the pangs of jealousy started pangin I reminded myself that I cant hog all the freakin high grade stuff out of Italy! lol I tell ya what though, having a higher grade Italian book in hand is somthing of beauty.

 

Well, in general they are a lot less delicate than the american originals, but they have also been collected for years without paying too much attention to higher grades, so it’s quite a gamble to find them. The fact that there is no huge price difference based on grade requires some luck to find them in higher grades.

Of course, there is difference, but usually a high-grade book doesn’t go for more than the double, or triple, of a lower grade one, unlike in the US where there can be a lot of difference.

 

I also got this in from Greece.... I love how they omited the Cloak part of the title! hm

The windows also have serious problems as well. Building is probably going to collapse.

 

lol Yea... what shoddy construction! Thanks for the lowdown on the Italian market Vaillant!

Agreed. Get me one of them NM 129s :baiting:

Unfortunatly, it's not NM. There a very tiny tears (1-2mm) under Punisher foot and a hairline crease at upper front cover. But it's the best copy I ever saw

 

I thought mine was a solid 7, it came back 6.5, I should have pressed it hu... lol lol lol ..... is there even one graded over 8??
