Sqeggs Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I've been (very) slowly plugging away on the Schomburg airbrush covers, and was really happy to add this one from a recent Comiclink auction. CGC absolutely hammered this one for the PQ, because other than that it looks like a high grade book, flat and tight with a spine to die for. Great looking book despite the PQ. Love to know the history of this book. Carefully stored away, apparently, but in conditions that resulted in brittle pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I bid aggressively on the 6.0 of this book at the recent Heritage auction, but lost out, as it went for double guide. But thanks to a Boardie, I now have this lovely copy in my collection along with the mailer it was sent out in Second comic book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
