I think it was rude not to tell us which issues have acetate covers.

  There have been quite a few, right? I've been a Batgirl fan since growing up reading Batbooks in the late 70s and 80s. Just one of those books I started picking up ten years every time I saw one at a decent price.

I will be checking in remotely later tonight. Good luck to everyone!

ROUND CLOSED

Reveals coming up...

 

[Point Five]

1. Detective Comics #359

A nice mid-grade book, brought down by that odd horizontal crease and the stain on the back. 5.0 was my guess too.

2. The Hawk #10

I was hoping for a 6.0 on this one, but didn't quite get it. There's a small spine tear towards the bottom (not mentioned in the laundry list of grader notes) and I wonder if that was a factor. Nice bright flat book, minimal color loss.

3. Jungle Comics #36

This one too came in just shy of the 8.0 I was hoping for. The crease mentioned in the notes was a real surprise to me... but the spine and staple areas were so crisp, I wouldn't have risked a press anyway. Ah well! Real pretty book.
