I think this is the only issue I have from this title. Not the best scan of it, but it's a beaut

My old copy of the He-She cover that I bought from Howard Rogofsky... 

Awesome books!! Btw in regards to your board name I was wondering is it related to Joe Satriani or just Silver Surfer or both? If it is Satch related I’m going to see G3 (Satriani/Petrucci/Collen) when I get back from Florida in late February!! ?

 Very underrated book imo and suprised to see that with a book deemed to be a, “classic cover” even by CGC standards that there are only 9 Blue labels on the census mine being the lowest of course but what’s new haha!! Book doesn’t seem to bring a lot of money when brought to market either at least according to the ones I’ve seen and add in GPA. Here’s a fun pic from about 4 yrs ago when I was obsessed with finding a blue label. Sold the Resto copy. The copy on the right is my current copy. BOY I have learned a lot in that span of time and have come to be a little more open to slight restoration. All about the journey!! 

 

Awesome pic! Never occured to me that a comic book/a pair of books could match so well with a dark brown wooden frame!

Great minds!! I told my wife when we bought that dining room table it would double up perfectly as a place to display my funny books haha!!! Once we get the bouncy house out of the basement and I get my pool table she can have the table back ?

This has one of the most bonkers comic stories I've ever read. The scene on the cover happens - there's a guy who is the caretaker of a double-amputee. Once the caretaker knows he's been written into the guy's will, he shoves the guy in front of a train.

But when he goes to collect, he discovers the will has a stipulation: he only gets the money if he himself also becomes a double amputee. So he naturally hires a doctor to saw his legs off.

...and things go way downhill from there!

NO!!!! I was really hoping to pry that one away from you someday!! A man can dream right!!?!! I hope you got a small mint in return brother especially after JBs 7.0 copy brought almost 40K!! Yours was one of my favorite books I have seen on the boards in my short 5 yrs. Realistically it was out of my league but I saw there was a 1.8 on the census I have been dying to see what that looks like!! I wish CGC had images of every book they ever graded free for public consumption that would be sweet!!

Never seen one in real life and I have found with almost every GA book I have purchased via the interwebs they ALWAYS look and feel cooler up close and personal!!

Fun book here’s my rag!!

The Slight (A) on this is "moderate amount of glue on spine and cover." I guess a couple drops less glue and it would have been a blue label? Not really sure how they decide what's small and what's moderate. But either way, I'm happy to have it! A little glue isn't a big deal for me. 

Of course, when I was a kid, I used rubber cement to secure the cover of my Avengers #4, so I might not be the best judge of these things.

Great book glad to see it found a good home. If I still had it today I probably wouldn’t have sold it and just popped it out and mylar’d it. Happy with my copy but nothing wrong with having 2 right!! Same could be said for a few books I have sold with slight resto. I still don’t prefer it and try to get it removed if possible but i have several books now I am just happy to have any copy. We all have our little preferences which is part of what makes it fun!!
