Popular Post zzutak Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 These are great images on which to base a "nature versus nurture" argument. Every book in this 3-hole punched Atlas/Marvel collection looked about the same when it first became available back in the early/mid-1970s. Some portions of the collection have spent the last 50 years with a single, loving caretaker. Other books (being technically low-grade) have not been so lucky. grendelbo, Hiro, Kevin.J and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carats Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I bought this one a few years ago for a decent price. Kevin.J, Hiro and grendelbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom's Hulks Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I've been wanting to send these for grading but not sure if they would give it a blue or green grade. The holes are made by the manufacturer so I think it would be a blue. I did contact CGC to ask but I couldn't get an answer from them on it. These are hard to get in a decent grade since they come packaged with a figure where I only want the magazine. May have to just send one and find out for myself.

I’m not sure but it’s in pretty nice shape and that would explain why the holes are so close to the spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mutant Manatee Posted August 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2022 I bought this one at the Chicago Comicon in about 1986. I think I paid $60 for it. It is in wonderful condition other than the binder holes. I sold it a few years ago. Carats, Hiro, Robot Man and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThothAmon Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 very sharp copy. I’ve seen 3.0s with hole punches that look way worse calling in question CGCs consistency when grading. OtherEric, Hiro and grendelbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
