tth2 Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Excellent! It's easy to knock the 'pedigree' designation, but the guy obviously had some very nice books. That's right, forgot about that! Congrats, Scott, on adding to your portfolio of pedigrees! Don't forget to post the COA for us! On a serious note, Dallas is a super nice guy and had some VERY nice books.

ComicBookGuy Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 It's heeeeeeeere!!!! Beautiful comic! The cover color is very uniform, like Adam's books, with no tanning on the edges. Interesting that I don't see a cover price on the cover. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that I don't see a cover price on the cover. Am I missing something? that is interesting, but the picture in Gerber has no price on it, either. based on the succeeding two issues it would have been right over the "S"..........

Jeffreykli Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 FFB, Great looking book. So what would you grade it? Any hidden defects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFB Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 FFB, Great looking book. So what would you grade it? Any hidden defects? I would call it a 7.5/8.0, leaning toward the 8.0. For some reason, the scan is really accentuating the defect in the upper right corner. The book is very glossy and flat, colors are brilliant, the spine is nice and tight with only a couple of small, light stress marks, and the spine corners are just slightly abraded. The most noticeable defect on the book is that light 1/4" crease in the URC that looks so bad in the scans. There is also a 3/16" edge tear on the leading edge of the front cover. All of the wear is limited to the perimeter of the book. No thumb dents or non-color-breaking bends in the middle of the front or back cover. No interior cover tanning whatsoever, though the pages are probably CR-OW. No other big defects anywhere, no stains, nothing that would bring it out of the VF range. On a "bad day," maybe CGC would grade it a 7.5 but I've looked it over three times and each time I come back to agreeing with Mile High's VF grade. It looks very similar to my Amazing Spider-Man #51 CGC 8.0 in terms of defects. I am going to get it slabbed and I'll let you know what it gets. Unless I have completely missed something, it'll be top census by a good margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) heh heh. I was hoping somebody would remember little ol me. But, in all fairness, mune has that upper right corner so, who knows? fixed a stupid typo! Edited April 11, 2005 by aman619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Since I'm out of 10 cent Flashes, back to the Turoks we go. Dunno what that weird white mark on the right edge is, it's not on the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Actually, Im kinda surprised Chuck never got the Dallas copy slabbed, arent you guys? Was it sold to someone who broke it out? Or did Chuck? Or did Chuck not think it was high grade enough to slab with all the other Dallas books he sent out? Scott, whats the story? What did they tell you?

But they probably didn't slab it because it isn't a high demand book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 No more contributions? Anybody? Well, while I'm waiting to scan a few more books, I'll cheat by posting a few scans of some 10 centers that used to be mine, but no longer (all sold on Heritage, as you can see).

adamstrange Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Finishing my tax return, the blazing hot GA thread, and work have been slowing me down. I was thinking we need to keep posting here to maintain our pinned status. Have to be this weekend for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
