DailySuperpower Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 That's vicious!!! Finally found one of my favorite pre-code covers of all time... I really like that both attackers are using broken bottles as weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Some more fairly recent purchases. Really happy with the Gem in particular, so extra thanks to West. So, it's now official ... you're the second coming of Adamstrange The Gem looks spectacular. It looks like the colors on it are a little different from other copies I've seen, or am I dreaming? Great copy of Ghost 2. That book needs nice solid blacks for the effect to really come out and that copy does just that. And that's an upgrade on the Beware, no? GR too?

Much darker colors than on other copies I have seen. The Beware is low grade, but it was cheap and the cover is cool so I picked it up. The GR is the only one I have, sold the lower grade one I had awhile ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look that good only when the book is as white as that copy must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistty1 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Comichut, I love this Wood cover one of my favourites. I puchased this copy from a boardie, although not recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socratic Wonder Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Is that the CDNP CGC 7.0 that was in the recent Heritage weekly auction? Yes, good eye. I'd been after one for quite awhile. Classic cover, pretty tough to find in decent shape, and this was a tightly graded copy. Great looking, got hammered for a tear on the spine. I cost you $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just picked this guy up. One of my favorite covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 This is why I should continue to stay away from the boards. Thanks to Doiby for the book, fast and friendly service and bullet-proof packing. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
