Popular Post namisgr Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Copies that I bought off the rack and had graded and slabbed, without any pressing. It was experiences like with these that I learned CGC would downgrade for things like slight bends in cover overhang or corners that were natural to most newsstand comic books of the day.

Yep, I always thought their grading policy on overhang was absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTheDuck Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 A few nice books in today's mail from @drbanner. All upgrades except the #204 which fills a hole in my run. The square-bound on that GS #2 is tight! WernerVonDoom, drbanner, Dick Pontoon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTheDuck Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 God I thought this was a dumb villain when this issue came in the mail. You can almost smell the sweat. Plus which, both Makizmo and especially Thundra's eyes are very poorly rendered. WernerVonDoom, namisgr and Dick Pontoon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a dumb villain and the name was just as bad. A play on "machismo" isn't great to begin with, but worse it just sounds like "gizmo". Gizmo? Gizmo? What kind of name for a bad guy is that? That's a word the Thing would use talking about Reed's latest invention. davidking623 and namisgr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
