Deutero Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Pleased to pick this up as I’ve always been a fan of the Human Torch. This is his 1st Silver Age solo story and the starting issue of Strange Tales featuring the Human Torch. I’m a bit concerned about the staples, they look too nice to me. Wondering if the originals have been replaced. There’s no obvious signs (that I can see) so would appreciate this awesome community’s thoughts, as well as what grade you think it might be? Many thanks in advance! Edited August 30, 2022 by Deutero Grade is in Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 2.5 I'm thinking that even if the book is beat up and well read and perhaps stored haphazardly, so long as it's the right conditions (dry) the staples could show virtually no signs of aging. Thanks for sharing. Deutero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
