I picked this one up a few months ago. I paid through the nose for it, but I love the cover because of the detail of the burning matches jammed under the old man's finger tips.

 

Nice book. Lots going on in the cover.

You beat me out by a few bids on this one for sure.

Pennsylvania copy is a nice bonus. (thumbs u

I got a number of FH books back from CGC this week. Here are a few.

Great book! I was an underbidder on this in the May Heritage auction.

 

"Back from CGC?" Did it need to be reholdered or something?

Just a case of me talking about one thing and doing another. These are two others I got back from CGC.

I was pretty happy seeing this one, too.

That book is a beauty! Plus, I always love to see controversial books posted. :devil:

Interesting read. There's no code on my copy but the quality and PQ sure looked like a MH or SF copy. I bought it raw from Metro and sent it to Matt Nelson for a prescreen. He didn't question it as a MH. Looking at the PQ of Zaid's, I would assume his copy was one given to Burrell Rowe and stored in the heat. Looking at the differences in cut between the two copies, maybe Edgar picked up mine as a second because of the miscut on Zaid's.

 

FWIW, I have one of two MH copies of Exciting 25. Jon Berk owns the other.
