This Mag #3 is heating up

[retrocomics]

I wonder if he know how hard it is? I bought a double copy from Bud Plant at San Diego many years ago at single cover guide. Wish I still had it...

[goldust40]

Nearly at $1300 now. I'm beginning to regret passing on a low grade copy that was stickered at $250 a couple of years ago...

[Hap Hazard]

let me jump on the band wagon to show my copies

this Mag is Haunted 3 with 80% spine split

The man from Planet X with taped spine

[october]

 

Ah, Man From Planet X syndrome.

 

 

Yep also hard to find. Alas, mine has a taped spine...

 

 

Mine has a reinforced spine - almost impossible to find without spine splitting.

 

That issue may not exist in high grade. I question if it ever did actually. I'd best most/all left the printers with split spines.

[Scrooge]

Bedrock has a higher grade of the Man from Planet X, does he?

[Hap Hazard]

with all the interest in this Mag 3, I scanned a copy of my ebay win of this book. Hey Fifties did I bid

against you on this lot. You should be able to read it the auction is from 6/20/04. The old fun days on ebay!

[Scrooge]

Anyway, here's what the coverless i.e. the opening splash looks like -

 

[Scrooge]

My copy.

 

 

Sartre's a 9.0 isn't it?

Pretty sure his has splitting too, but not sure.

That is so cool!

Crowley copy. The spine is split about 3/4 of the way, from just under the top staple to almost the bottom. It had to be that way right off the stands because the book otherwise looks unread...

Nonetheless, that's a gorgeous (unrestored) copy, Richard...

Thanks Steve.

I wouldn't be surprised, although by that time I prolly had the other three books, so wouldn't have bid that high. I was used to $20-$30 prices for TMIH reader copies.

 

Here are two of my run of WOF;

 

 

[CongoBill]

In the same category as this book although I think TMIH 3 is a bit tougher.

 

 

 

Yup, WOF #2 and TMIH #3 are both super tough. I can't believe what that TMIH #3 is now bid up to and still over 12 hours to go. I'll have to think about selling mine -- I think it's probably nicer than the one on eBay right now, but not by a whole lot.

Well, I could always use another one..mwwhaahaa

As noted, reinforced spine - I just love this book!

Any reason why the books would have split spines?

 

Problem with the covers production?

 

Seems like an odd defect.

 

 

FYI, you need to get the original Colorforms Electron figure to make a swingin' set.

[Robot Man]

Wow, $1,575. Gary must be happy. After all it's just about the only copy without a completely split spine.

[Junkdrawer]

Its mine now. I got $100 back in ebay bucks too. I like tough books. This one has been on my radar for some time.
