october Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I bought this from the same seller a few days ago and and have purchased two more I will be waiting for. This is an almost perfect copy better than I expected. I wouldn't have returned that Showcase its too nice a copy. I went back and forth about it. It looks great in the scan, but it has a subscription crease on the back that breaks color and the top staple was half detached....which could have easily popped when I went to read it. I would buy from the seller again though. Nice guy, very friendly and didn't say anything about the return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MIS I pictured has the curve from the fold but no color break it is as nice as the HOS but it is a beautiful book nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a sweet deal on that HOS. Very nice book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 i bought a couple of books for $2 from an "estate" seller, he shipped them in a brown envelope with no cardboard and do not bend on it. Of course the post office decided it was a magazine and did the only curve and slide into my pobox. $2 or not, he is getting an [embarrassing lack of self control] reaming when i get home anyway Captain Marvel 30 in ?? condition since i haven't seen it.
