ciorac Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Not really a new acquisition for me, as this book has been with me for a decade or more, but I had Matt Nelson press it to get rid of a pretty nasty spine roll and then had it encapsulated. Came back this week and I think it turned out nicely. Matt did a swell job. I should have joined the Legion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetah Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I grossly overpaid for this one in the last ComicConnect auction. Got it in and the FC was perfect. The back cover was wavy enough to surf on. A quick stop at classics and its probably worth about what I paid. Sorry about the scanner glare.

walclark Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) I'm not sure if you can appreciate the spine roll on this one. While scanning this one, I put the scanner lid down and kept it pushed down to make the book lie flatter on the scanner bed. It made for a better image, but didn't really show the spine roll.

cheetah Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 The grade was made by the back cover. It was a mess and I don't know if it really deserved the grade it had. I admit when I got it I was pretty disappointed in how it looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit when I got it I was pretty disappointed in how it looked. did look nice from the front, not sure I ever even saw the back cover... just another of those books I really like... I think I stopped at about $5100 and I saw it go a few bids higher, so you done good given it was a 9.0 in hiding (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
