Very nice Jimbo! Killing it on the gloss factor. Showing these pics makes me want to mention that I do the same thing when I get a raw book in. I hold it under a light and follow the gloss/shine down the length of the covers. It helps me identify any writing, marks or stains that may be there that otherwise may not be noticed viewing head on.

There is a term for that kind of illumination - raking light.  One of the major reasons why a 2D scan will never suffice, not really. 

"Raking light, the illumination of objects from a light source at an oblique angle or almost parallel to the surface, provides information on the surface topography and relief of the artifact thus lit. It is widely used in the examination of works of art."

and pulplet!

Interesting. This was just something I learned to do on my own over the years, didn't realize it was an actual practice. I think I first noticed it with a book with a cover that had a combo of gloss and flat black inks. Thanks for the info!

Really sweet pick-ups on the Man Comics! I saw that one from the same seller and would've bought it if I didn't already have a decent copy. One of Everett's best covers for the publisher IMHO.

I got these at an antique mall a few days ago - nothing earth-shattering, but anything Atlas in-hand for less than ten bucks brightens my winter days.

I still remember the first time I saw one of those.....a Strange Tales 11 .....I had just begun my descent into the Atlas maelsrom, and had gotten the book home and thought it had been color touched.. GOD BLESS....

Some of my favorite girlie covers. I know the Gay and the Joker are sort of in that limbo between Timely and Atlas, but they seem go get their due love by the boardies in this thread.

Both standout covers, especially the 10. I just love that blue background and the whole concept.
