mysterio Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm not sure if these belong in this thread but they are Kirby and I thought you may enjoy seeing them..... My copies are rags to your riches Ditto. I think if you added the grades for my RK #22 and TGK #107 together you might get close to a 7.5. Great books that definitely belong in this thread!

mysterio Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This was part of my latest sub to CGC, courtesy of Tomorrow's Treasures before I knew better. Based on the cover edges I have actually long suspected it was trimmed, but I subbed it because I really wanted to know one way or the other. Turns out it wasn't trimmed, but apparently the spine did get a glue repair at some point. Either way, it's still a pretty copy. My scanner isn't hooked up, so you get an iPhone photo.

jimjum12 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 ...yeah......and in the grand scheme of things, a little glue repair doesn't bother me much at all. Pretty book. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 that's a tough book in decent grade anyway. still looks nice. +1! It took me some time to find a correct copy of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks guys! I'm still a bit bummed about the resto, but yeah, a glue repair does bother me less than a trim would have. At the end of the day I was expecting a purple label, and at least this is a more desirable note to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny545 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys! I'm still a bit bummed about the resto, but yeah, a glue repair does bother me less than a trim would have. At the end of the day I was expecting a purple label, and at least this is a more desirable note to get. For me a little glue is light years better than a trim...a bit of glue bothers me very little for a book like this. Nice book!

jimjum12 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Glue is not that hard to remove...... but I'd be happy just to have one..... and a touch of glue is no worse than a small piece of tape.... IMHO. I've had a couple unexpected PLODS with glue only over the years..... I really didn't know how to tell. I was told that you just run your finger down the spine and the glue will be stiff and hard. I popped one out and sure enough, it was easy to find it. It was a book I wanted to keep anyway.... so raw wasn't really a big deal. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm not sure if these belong in this thread but they are Kirby and I thought you may enjoy seeing them..... For me, these, along with Two Gun 58, are must have books. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm betting Goom is the next "break out" monster. Or Colossus. Both are worthy. Both such classics Goom is my single favorite PH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nice books! Titano is classic pre-hero look but Goom is, well, kind of hard to put a handle on. The word you are looking for is awesome (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan57 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm not sure if these belong in this thread but they are Kirby and I thought you may enjoy seeing them..... For me, these, along with Two Gun 58, are must have books. Not common to see these in such good condition. Two well chosen books to add to the collection*. *In both senses of the word, "add". Two more books in the collection numerically but also in adding to the concept behind any particular collection: the bringing together in one place items that would have less significance or meaning on their own.

PovertyRow Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks guys! I'm still a bit bummed about the resto, but yeah, a glue repair does bother me less than a trim would have. At the end of the day I was expecting a purple label, and at least this is a more desirable note to get. Definitely more desirable, especially as it is just a "small amount" of glue and no other notes. Enjoy it as you would a loved by slightly wayward child!

Both such classics Goom is my single favorite PH Yeah, Goom is just so whacky. But if you have Goom then you need Googam, Son of Goom (TOS 17)!

Bronty Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The googam story is good, but its not Goom good Not sure why you think its wacky? No wackier than the rest And its a great story best of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Pov, I am diggin the new avatar Thanks Bronty. Mummy covers and spider covers are favorites of mine. My avatar, as you probably know, is from TTA 31. I THINK it is my favorite mummy cover from the pre-heroes, but can onl;y think of 3: JIM 61 (Gomdulla), TTA 8 (Mummex) and TTA 31 ("mummy"). Anyone know of other Atlas post-code mummy covers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
