Cheaper no doubt but you have to ask yourself if someone offered you 50% off the price of a ticket to watch the last 20 minutes of a 2 hour movie is it worth it? Structure does matter and a comic undergoes several stages from white to cream to tan but once it’s gone brittle it’s life as a solid book is ticking rapidly. I’ve heard all the arguments about it but it’s always better to be young or middle aged than on your last leg of life… Hard no… If we are comparing books to people old folks don’t deserve to be cast out like pariahs. They should be celebrated for a life hopefully well lived 😊 jimbo_7071 and sagii 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided no and got a stomach ache. I think the only way I'll ever be able to afford an Archie #1 is if it is brittle Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Price is everything! I would be willing to buy any condition book IF the price were right. If it was an Action 1 it could be brittle, mouse chewed, cat peed, and come from a house full of chain smokers. Just as long as the price matches the condition. gino2paulus2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New owner sent to the ENEMY and they give it a 3.0 and slightly brittle!!! This is plain deception! This book is 1.8 CGC all day every day, I hope someone doesn't overpay because of the number ...................

JimButlerGA Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Nope. I would wake up in a cold sweat every night hearing the pages disintegrate. jimbo_7071 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
