The Thing #16 Charlton (1954)

[Enrico R.]

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in buying this comic, but I would first need an opinion from you guys. What kind of grade do you think it is? Unfortunately, there's just the front cover.

 

Thank you to everyone who will take the time to help me out.

8.0

[Enrico R.]

Thank you so much for replying. I was thinking 7.5. That's good news.

There was a warehouse find of a number of copies of that issue some years back, so examples in mid and higher grade are not uncommon. Value would be under earlier issues of The Thing in like condition.

[Enrico R.]

Thanks for the info I looked up the price in the Overstreet guide of last year and this particular issue is the cheapest one of the whole series. However, in 8.0 the value is over 200$ and I can buy it for 50$ or so. So, I believe it's not too bad of a deal.

[rjpb]

A fair deal. It's still a cool book.

[fifties]

Yeah, that would be a steal, grab it!

[Enrico R.]

I bought it. Once I have it in my hands, I'll post the back cover in the proper section.

Thank you all for your help and info.

Good for you! That title always provides good reading, but with a copy in that condition, I don't know if I'd want to give it any wear.

I bought a copy of this book recently as well at last week's Edmonton Expo.

You cannot ask me not to read it. It would be like asking a kid not to eat his ice cream. I'm already impatient to receive it especially since you told me it's a good read

I read mine, it is as nice as yours. I have no worries reading an 8.0 and neither should you. Read away!

[Enrico R.]

To me, yours looks way nicer than the one I bought. It's a lot whiter

 

Yesterday, I took a look at the cover recreation you make/made. They are absolutely out of this world. You're truly gifted.

[Dick Pontoon]

Even if its the most common issue of The Thing, there's still lots of great stories in there. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

It's a wharehouse find of good fortune gga GA collectors can own this particular issue in high grade relatively cheap.

 

Who wouldn't like to have access to the rest of the Thing run in high grade for $50/pop
