Q: What did Dr. Strange say to his audience?

A: Mage-a look!

love that!

A semi-recent purchase. I know this isn't for everyone, but SOME might think it's cool.

See the “new this week” thread for a breakdown of how much I like my new  spare copy of Strange Tales 115.

Why are you selling it, surely not your under-grade copy?

Trying to save up some cash for some bigger purchases.  I wish it was a undercopy.

Some great comics and stellar copies posted here lately.  

I enjoyed collecting nice looking old books that just weren't quite pristine enough that they had to be slabbed.

The book is unpressed. I probably should have tried for the 9.8 jackpot, but don't have much luck with that.

Did it have any pressable defects? From the image you provided, I see two tiny spine ticks that probably kept it at 9.6, but they could be scanner artifacts...

I don't know - since I wasn't going to press it I never checked it out.

Sneaky important book! Wish I had a better one, but I did buy a spare beater. I should probably take a picture of my good one.

One of my favorite books in the run…I always liked the “fire and ice” combo, and also enjoyed Marvel Team-Up #23 for that reason…beautiful copy, Patrick!
