I (and Russ) enjoyed carefully thumbing it for a few years. I submitted it at the Chicago C2E2 show for grading WITHOUT it being pressed and you can see, it's still a blue 9.2 w. Kinda proves that you CAN (carefully) enjoy high grade copies without damaging them Once again, sorry about the less-than-great pic. Another beauty! Enjoyed every minute of thumbing that one up raw.

Thanks buddy! Remember in the early 90's when we first started buying Golden Age? We didn't know what the hubbub was with these "pedigrees" we'd hear whispers about. Why do people pay "over guide" for them? All it took was to get our hands on some to become crystal clear. Like, "Oh, this is how they're SUPPOSED to look!"

entalmighty1 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I know the Death Dealer isn't Golden Age, but something feels wrong about posting a Frazetta in the modern section. gino2paulus2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his early work seemed to go completely unnoticed until recently .... well, not completely I guess, 'cause guys like Jon Berk and a few others knew, but it certainly wasn't something many collectors talked about.

Frisco Larson Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 On second thought, I think you're right about that. Well, I hope they aren't TOO hard to crack open, 'cause I've got one on the way that will be set free upon arrival. I guess I'll find out next week.

Seems to be some dispute as to whether its really a Baker cover, but CGC thinks it is and I think it's pretty cool regardless. Sorry for the glare, working on getting a good scanner... As someone who is also the proud owner of many of CGCs lowest graded copies I understand your JOY!!!!! cool book!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
