Silver Surfer Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 why in the world would you slab that? keep it raw and read the durned thing! Already read it before and I have only seen two copies of this book, two of them I now own, and apparently there is one more in the CGC census but I haven't seen it or any other copies in years. If these are as rare as the Marvel Mystery and Captain America Comic annuals then I don't mind getting it slabbed because if I handle it anymore it will continue to deterioate. A poor copy of the annuals I noted above is fetching thousands of dollars and I don't think many people are even aware that these Superior Publisher copies even exist (I know I didn't until a few years ago). The Cap #74 copies are selling for the same price as the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 When you sell just put in "CGC it!" or "CGC candidate" that should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Have you ever thought about sending it in the be restored Pete? Arex No because it would probably cost a few thousand bucks to do properly and I'd rather spend that kind of coin on more books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tilleycs Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Got this in the mail on Saturday. It was one of only FOUR Silver Age Green Lantern issues that I had left for a full run, now I only need three more. I paid for a #5 on ebay over the weekend, but I don't cross anything off my wantlist until I have the book(s) in my hands. Anyway, this is the rare "red variant" of GL #59. Just kidding, some kid had a field day with a red crayon and this cover. I would much rather own a better-looking copy, but I've been looking for a copy of this for a while, and I landed this one off ebay for only $5 (I was the only bidder - surprise! ). It'll do for now. The seller agreed to media mail shipping, so I marked this off my list for a whopping $7.07 total. Hopefully I'll be posting a scan of #5 soon. Then I'll only have two left!!

Wrightson fan Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 still not uber-HG, but for less than $20 shippped, i can live with it Great pick up Marc.....in the top five of my favorite covers of the late bronze age books....20 bucks is a nice deal on this one....what color are the pages?
