It presented so much nicer than the asigned grade, which is why I wish I still had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I still had it Why was that book only a 6.0 ? Marnin had the book raw on his old and dearly missed website ….. he bought it after someone had attempted a press that went awry, putting a hard crease down the spine of the back cover, IIRC …. he had it for sale raw @ $ 85 ….. I kept thinking about getting it but hemmed and hawed for too long.

jayhawker Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I thought these Mexican issues from 1959 were pretty cool and with full date stamps. Get Marwood & I, TheWatcher, bc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had originally had one special made for his own use but kept getting asked about them at cons, so he had a few extras made. My favorite one of the bunch hasn't been shown much... it features vintage 1950's and 1960's SF Paperback covers.... it's wild. There's another with AF 15 and IIRC, also features the OA from his trip to the Library of Congress to see the art in person.

Popular Post NP_Gresham Posted January 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2019 Been a long time since added a book to the MT run, so was very happy to get a pair from Metro I have been building this set on a budget plan, just stealthily picking up a book or 2 here and there for many years Long considered this an under-appreciated run, so I am always happy to add books. Still a long way off, but thought the group shot looks nice. Sorry for the glare. mysterio, KirbyJack, TheWatcher and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upgraded my #93 in 2018 and am sending my #97 (purchased back in about 2014) off to CGC shortly, but otherwise haven’t chipped away at this title much. bc, Frisco Larson and NP_Gresham 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Larson Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I know that I've posted this 7.0 American edition here before, but it's the Mexican edition that I recently purchased which has me posting it again for comparison. I am also posting inside front & back cover pics plus the centerfold pic. Looking through copies from other countries is like being in an old, familiar house …. and discovering a room you didn't know about!!
