Hey, Somebody named kingofrulers bought a FF #1 on ebay last night!

[divad]

Looks to me like the three open edges of that book were trimmed with a pair of scissors...just so you know what you're getting into (from reading the auction, I'm guessing there's a no return policy in force).

 

I didn't want to be the first to point this out, but I wholeheartedly agree.

 

It obviously needs to be sent in for a "full treatment"

[KingOfRulers]

By this grade trimming is irrelavent. Its just the same type of damage had it been chipping along the edges. I am just slightly concerned about the back cover. Haven't seen it yet.

 

And I say thee nay to full treatment.

KOR, Glad you got a book you wanted.

 

Trimming issues aside, might I ask if the book is complete? You say you have not seen the back cover, this concerns me. Did you speak with the seller about the book before bidding, and if so what was said about it?

 

I am just nosey, and curious.

 

Thnx

Thanks for the comments Ze-man. Truth be known I got this book primarily to sell at the next CON. I do want to own my own personal copy in the future, but not ready for one right now. I have an X-men, TOS and JIM run to complete first (X-men is getting close to complete) . Anyway, I am hoping to put an attractive price on the book as it is just one step to a much bigger book I have my eye on. I am not able to buy my goal book straight cash, so I have to try and work my way up to it. I certainly don't mind having this book around until it sells though.

 

Anyway, I actually didn't see the auction until it had about 2 hours left and it was about 12 am at the time. I didn't even bother to send a question. He seems to be a very reputable seller, and his grade was a 1.8 which I agree with as the grade. I figured that being a 1.8 it has to be complete since that is one of the major guidelines of a 1.8.

Sounds like you have a plan, so you'll have to let us know how it works out!

Congratulations on winning a FF #1!! I bought mine last year from a fellow forumite. Like you, I didn't think I'd ever own one. Still hard to believe, but I'll get used to it.... Congratulations!!!!

 

P.S. Don't sell it.

If the book is trimmed, then you should consider getting the tape removed. That's what I'd do.

Nice pickup on the FF #1...

If this comic is in GD then I will never buy jack from the

Not GD...actually GD-.

Way too much tape for my taste. BTW pressing those creases out won't do much since most of them have colour breaks accompanying them.
