I don't think those prices will last but it's good to have one!

Thats a big issue to secure in such high grade, congrats.   The scan looks over lit, how does it look in hand?

Thanks very much.  It's been a couple of years since I bought it and tucked it away, but I remember being happy with it when I got it.  There's a part of me that would like to create my own images of all the books in my collection, but it would add more time to the already enormous investment ... so I tend to be lazy and just keep the image from whatever dealer or auction site I buy the book from.

Well carp, I regret selling my 9.0.  

Me and a lot of other people know exactly how you feel.

Had bought my 9.0 for a GPA record at the time (2008ish), think I did ok with it

That's called prioritization, brother.... if you can afford books like that, I doubt you're lazy. GOD BLESS...

Talk out loud to a phone as you grade and it is converted to text, grading is done and notes are completed concurrently. Notes downloaded at end of grading session. Not much more time from the actual graders.

A great idea!  

 Good god! Why didn't think of that when grading my own comics?

But the more notes that are entered, the more time it takes.

Hey, I don't know who makes your dinner or the nature of the relationship.

Call me crazy but I think this here “Stranger” is who Bruce Campbell will be playing in DS 2. Not a Stephen Strange variant.

Your crazy!

I love me some Bruce, but he'll be the light comedy interlude at some point.

this bad boy sold for $4,850 on comiclink yesterday, a new record for the grade. no doubt that the hard-to-find white pages helped set this record. sadly it won't appear on GPA.

Was a huge fan of Kirby/Colletta Thor issues/artwork and I know for some reason there were those who didn't care for his inking/line work.  And I always liked this cover/issue for several reasons but the pose or dance that Thor and Hercules are doing I always found somewhat puzzling...did they miss?  Is it like some type of face-off in hockey like "we'll start here and then when we hear the buzzer we can start beating the out of each other..."  And the all-white background adds to the static nature even though presumably they are supposed to be engaged in battle.

Hey wait so maybe that 9.6 WP I bought wasn't such a bad deal after all!
