Just Got Some Great News from CGC...

[DoubleCovaBrotha]

I agree. That's one of the nicest 129's I've seen.

 

 

Holy SH|T!

 

 

 

... what's with the blunted top left corner?!

 

Is that a spine stress in the middle of the spine by the gun holster? If not, what is the faint white line there? If it is a spine stress, then I see at least 3 on the book. Which is weird, because CGC would never let 3 spine stresses slip by on a 9.8....right?

[shrunkenhead]

Kinda looks like some faint stressing to me, too....?

For Heritage , anything.

The ASM 135 CGC 9.9 has been in the CGC Gallery for a couple of weeks now.

Thanks

Hmmm, I like the other 9.8s better. Too bad about the miswarp, especially with a black cover!!

The other comics are superior grade, but no matter what number CGC applied this 135 is just ho-hum.

Just returned from a long business trip and want to thank Greg for posting the scans. It's nice to know you can count on friends to help out - even when we've never met!

Just saw these books since I haven't been on the Bronze forum for awhile now.

 

Doesn't this just blow the theory that you need to preserve your books in expensive Mylar bags and acid-free backing boards in order to maintain their high grade condition. Just imagine, you can get still get white page 9.8's and 9.9's after 30 years by just leaving your books in oily deteriorating poly bags.

[Moondog]

The books sold for incredible prices. I'm almost speechless (like that could ever happen...).

 

If anyone here bought one or more. My heartfelt thanks.

Didn't win any but certainly drove up the prices!

Congrats. They are beautiful books.

I think that the non-acid-free back boards pose more of a problem than the polybags do. Environmental storage conditions are also more important than using polybags vs. mylar, although I still think that mylar is the way to go for maximum archival protection.

Plus your secret ingredient - RARIFIED AIR. Sorry Scott, but I just saw National Treasure and when they bust into Cage's place and there's the Lab set up to look at the Declaration of Independence I so thats how FFB stores his books.
