Silver Surfer Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 No need, I am very satisfied with the way it is That's all that counts but it looks terribly undergraded, another old label that is a 9.6 by today's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Thanks to Mark(joeklecko) one of my favorite bronze -c(even more so than 92). Why wasn't this one in the best bronze -c thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Hook Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well, the #8 does have some cover bends to it, that are invisible through the slab. You have to hold it up to the light at an angle to see them. The #2 is fairly graded at 9.0. Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntboy Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well, the #8 does have some cover bends to it, that are invisible through the slab. You have to hold it up to the light at an angle to see them. The #2 is fairly graded at 9.0. Red i'm thinking that #8 hasn't reached it's full potential............... if i recall correctly, it has a soft bend down the center. i probably bent it in half to carry in my back pocket but luckily wasn't riding my bike home that day........ a whole bunch of books got sent out this week, so we may see a few more here, soon. you have to hand it to the 'ol USPS - Brads books were mailed late yesterday afternoon one guy bought the FF 15, 25, the JIM 91, the ST 114 and the Sgt Fury #13 - that was the single purchase that tugged at my heart. 3 of those books were among my faves.....................

You are correct, O' Wise One. I actually now have three or four books in my collection that I'd consider having professional pressing applied to the cover only, to remove obvious mishandling.

Silver Surfer Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hook nice pick up on the #2. I seriously considered buying it as it was going for a good price and oh those white pages. Just too many irons in the fire right now. If you ever decide to sell your issue #9 please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 This white paged beauty just arrived in the mail. I think I'll sleep with this one tucked under my pillow tonight. There's nothing quite like seeing original GA art on white paper. The last story has Luthor defeating the electric chair and going on a rampage and the Shuster art is BRILLIANT. Thanks to Southern California Comics for this one. And thanks to the USPS for getting the book from Cali to NC in 2 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
