[divad]

Gentlemen:

 

It ain't perfect, but it's MINE:

 

 

 

p.s. Obviously, it's not a tomato box pedigree!

[supapimp]

send it to hammer, he can make that book into a UNRESTORED NM+ 9.6.

[divad]

Who's Hammer?

[NewtSamson]

it's beautiful. I'd love to own that comic in any grade.

I'm guessing this is a 1.5 to a 2.0

[FFB]

1.8 to 2.0. Nice to see you got the grail, David!

[davidking623]

1.0

where did you buy it diva?

[kryptonitecomics]

1.8, not bad....complete and hey I don't own one so way to go!!!

[divad]

where did you buy it diva?

 

Newt,

Buying comics is like mushroom collecting: you never reveal your favorite locations!

[divad]

1.0

DK,

With all due respect, I believe it qualifies on every point for a GD 2.0. The only borderline detail is the right edge, and how you read the OS guide. Certainly no lower than a 1.8

cheers,

divad

Oh, and btw, it is complete (other than the obvious pieces missing from the FC), intact, AND unrestored. (duh!)

Agreed. That book is way better than 1.0. 1.0 is bordering on uncollectible. A total P.O.S. in every way, with large chunks of the cover missing (the entire back cover can be GONE in this grade, or up to 1/4 of the front cover missing).

 

This book is probably a 2.0, maybe a 1.8 on a bad day.

Congratulations on your purchase! 1.8/2.0

Agree. More with the 1.8 than the 2.0

Absolutely, positively - single owner book - original purchaser.
