It isn't an easy issue to find, especially in grade. It is also listed as a Human Torch prototype, which is pretty preposterous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 It isn't an easy issue to find, especially in grade. It is also listed as a Human Torch prototype, which is pretty preposterous. I absolutely love prototype pre-hero Marvels, no matter much of a stretch they are. But the idea of this being even remotely considered a Torch prototype really IS preposterous. CGC didn't used to notate this as a prototype based on some old label slabs. But the few from newer labels call it a Torch prototype. Have to wonder what made them start labeling it as such.

Bronty Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Its annoying. It cheapens the few real prototypes when all these impostors are noted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I had to leave Chicago on Saturday to drive back, so I didn't get my onsite books from WW until this past weekend when I could pick them up from my brother. I was very happy with how they graded out, and they'll all be very long term keepers.

mysterio Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Those look beautiful! That Strange Tales 83 was my very nicest PHM! It's definitely one of my nicest! I've only got a handful of 8.0s, and I couldn't be happier to give these a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Where does it hit in the census? I think the #83 is one of three 8.0s now, second highest behind only an 8.5, if my memory is correct. It's a tough book. I really appreciate you selling them there so I could add it to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 September is my "back to slabs" month which started with snagging some Shagg from Clink : This was the first PHM cover I could find that features both Kirby & Ditko, at least according to the GCD. Also my first "new" slab design so I'm very anxious to see it in hand. -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your new addition appears to be an "old new" case, which means it is sans inner well. You'll just need to call CGC and request a reholder for it. This should be completely free to you. Shipping will be free both ways, you'll be refunded the cost of shipping to them (I just reholdered a JIM #1 this way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
