PGM Journey into Mystery 83 GRR

[SOTIcollector]

What's your opinion of this book, which could use a squish.

The book had been stored by its previous owner within the album cover alongside the album, so there's an non-color-breaking impression made by the record that could probably be pressed out. I tried to get the light to reflect off the book so you can see that impression, which doesn't look nearly so severe with the book in hand.

With a spuish, 8.0? Maybe better in hand.

7.0 as is IMHO Pressing would definitely raise the grade!

It‘s so sweet as is, I would not touch it.

And I still think it‘s a VF or better.

 

Also, who’s Pope Elvis?

VERY SWEET! 8.0

Also, who’s Pope Elvis?

That's my alter-ego from the early days of the interwebs.

 

I liked the juxtaposition of the two characters. They seem at first to have no similarities, but they are people who are so famous worldwide that they are known by just a single name. Many people have regarded them as having some sort of superhuman abilities, but they have shown themselves to be humans who are fallible.

 

After seeing a list of all the Popes throughout history, I got wondering if perhaps some day there would be a Pope Elvis. So I decided... why not? I could declare myself Pope Elvis the First. If any future Pope ever does want that name, he'll have to be Pope Elvis the Second, because I claimed the name of the First back in the 1990's.
