Kind of some weird bubbling at the A and R there.  I don't see any substance or anything on the cover, some sort of printing defect or something else going on here?

Cheating a bit here. This isn’t a comic. But very cool none the less. Paid $10. What would this go for if it were a comic?

Never thought I would say this. But after over 50 years collecting comics, I either have, or have had, or not going to get the rest of what I still want. Seems like I have pretty much seen everything and am mostly just upgrading books now. Yeah, I still seek out some stuff and buy them when I see them. But my comic buying has slowed down considerably.

I have always bought pulps when I ran into them, but was never a big focus. There are SO many great ones and they have really ignited that spirit “of discovery” in me again. They have brought me back to the days in comics when everything was new. At the end of the day, comics and pulps are really the same to cover collectors especially in a slab.

Mine doesn't either, and yours is a 6.5 and mine... isn't - that bums me out!  :p

It's a classic cover whether the box says so or not :banana:

I daresay I might pick the 6.5 copy going aesthetics over value -  If I could afford any copy at all :shiftyeyes:

 

I've seen that before where they removed the classic cover notation. Strikes me odd. Like how did that happen? That wasn't a direct question of course. I think Marvel Mysteries 12 for example use to say classic cover and now it doesn't.

SMC is really not an expensive book compared to lots of other Star L.B.'s.  Maybe it's the boring white shirt :roflmao:. But  Vaultkeepers 8.5, that's up there. I like Jayman's 6.5 a lot. Perfect wrap. Apparently the old photo bucket pics don't show up when you quote them.

I'm not real crazy about some of the aspects, but I love the eye and the spiraling blue and yellow "classic"

I sure hope they solve "The Case of the Missing Toe."

Sounds like mischief is afoot.
