Great cover! So what's on page 31???

 

Will never no 'cause I shipped it to GCG :makepoint:

 

Hmm. Interesting. But no page 31... :(

 

One question: as a novice to sending books to CGC, I'm wondering what was your reason for shipping it to CGC? Obviously to get it graded, but -- is the objective to keep it safe in a slab, or to sell it one of these days soon? Or something else?

To make sure you’re not tempted to browse it or read it here and there? :D

Thanks Electron!! That's an amazing double splash! The artwork has some signs of Jack Cole, though comics.org says Phil Bard. Never heard of that guy.

 

BTW your signature line is inspirational.

That was a typo and attempt at humor. Should have said "I will never know because I shipped it to GCG"

 

Actually I owned another copy that I read, liked it enough to upgrade. Plus book is available via comic book readers such as copy here.

 

Reason for slabbing - I guess I personally like to put my favorites that are maybe a little higher grade or more valuable in slabs. Makes me feel secure handling them, and they are more liquid I presume if I decided to sell. My books go from mylar to 4 mil mylar, to 4 mil mylar inside those bcw holders to slabbed - I guess just depending on how I feel about it?

Fyi, there is another Minute Man story "The Return of the Black Poet" drawn by Phil Bard, inside America's Greatest Comics #2, a raw copy of which I just sold over on the for sale thread. Also has great art and splash.

Hi path4play. Thanks for your insights. That makes some sense. My default for unslabbed is double mylar (4 mil inside 1 mil). Gives the books a nice sparkle. And limits the bug chews.
