That cover does not suck.

Short story behind my new book. I sold it in 2004 at the Toronto con when I split up with my ex. I happened to split up the weekend of the con and needed $$ to find a place to stay (I slept in the car that nite). Anyway it was the bluest, brightest JIM #83 I have ever seen. It's a 5.0 or so because of water stains on the back cover and interior. Sad to say it now has a staple pop that was not there before, and the cover is not as blue as I remember it but wow look at those yellows and reds! How often do you find a 5.0 that looks like this!

Great book and yes it looks better than a 5.0. Even though the history behind it is jaded, I always think its great when you can look at a book and a flood of memories are produced. (thumbs u

How about some cheezy British reprints bought just for the heck of it? Nothing high-grade, although the Spectre Stories are up in the vf range. Does anyone have information about these? I'm trying to index them for GCD.
