I own this book in better condition but it has a marvel chip and I don’t want to slab it. Am I bad?

No you're not bad.

WOW @PJB Comics those are some great books you've started with!!! Welcome to the hobby!!! 

[PJB Comics]

Thanks guys. All credit to my dad for buying these to read during his childhood. He had good taste! It's amazing they still look pretty decent because they were in his attic for decades, baking in the Texas heat, and not rebagged since the 1980s.

Here are some more... The pen scribbling on FF 8 is absolutely tragic of course.

Sorry if I'm posting too much right now, I'm not sure of the board etiquette.

You’re good; bring ‘em!

We all enjoy looking at other board member's books, unless there in better than condition than mine.

FYI - The last part was a joke.

Post away, and welcome to the boards!

A pen scribbled FF8 is better than no FF8. 😭

Picked this one up today. Also posted in the Spidey thread.

 

Kirby art with Ditko inks,  Jack probably wanted someone to do the webbing.

Too bad neither one could remember to put the spider on the front of the costume! 

Even so - I love this cover.

A classic!

The greatest creative team in the medium at the height of their power.

I absolutely dig that you have some of your childhood copies Billy Boy!!! I only have one comic from my childhood collection and I got it second hand in a trade for some then-current issues: Iron Man #4. I figured it was probably the only one in the world , so when I sold my original stash, I kept that one. It, like your original copies, should never be sold .... only given to someone who'll keep them, read them and treasure them, until they crumb to dust. 

[Frisco Larson]

One of my favorite covers in the entire run!!! 

[Straw-Man]

the proof that we are some soft-hearted nostalgic geeks?   my little-boy beater copy of 51 got "popular post" status before my don and maggie ped copy did!!  i just love that.
