A friend of mine had it stowed away for a while and I had completely forgotten about it. So, when it became available, I was happy to pay his price.

Original plan was to put it in my comic room but after seeing how heavy it is (300+ pounds), I think it will be in my workshop. It does need some restoration but that is part of the fun. That is killer! I’ve owned a couple over the years. People love them when they come over. Other than replacing the cord (a must), getting it working properly and just minor cleaning, I would leave it alone. It looks great the way it is. People like them original. It has honest patina and is real. Resto, like comics, can hurt it’s future value. batman_fan, gadzukes and ThothAmon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can try it on the back 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can try it on the back 1st. Your wife is a smart woman. After you gently clean with soap & water and dry throughly, maybe try a little quality car wax if you must. Try on back first. I would just leave it alone… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post frozentundraguy Posted July 7 Popular Post Share Posted July 7 Acquired this book two weeks ago, but there were some minor delays getting the book as the seller was out of town. Worth the wait as the book presents pretty well. Robot Man, drmccoy74, Larryw7 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gino2paulus2 Posted July 8 Popular Post Share Posted July 8 (edited) I will definitely be double posting this one!! This book which is the Harvey Kurtzman File copy was graded back in Feb of 2003 so almost 20 years ago and I gotta say it presents very well for a 1.8. The old holder has a bit of scuffing especially over the “4” and the label on top is peeling off so i’m trying to decide whether to simply reholder or just crack and resub altogether. I wouldn’t mind leafing through it though and taking some interior pics so i’m leaning towards crack and resub at some point after i’ve had some fun with it. Did I mention only 7 on the census 🤟😎 Edited July 8 by gino2paulus2 comicjack, kelholt, Point Five and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
