Hepcat Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) My collecting habits have not changed. It seems though that those of most other collectors have in this age of restore, slab and flip. As a result, it's even harder for me to add titles such as Silver Age JLAs to my collection.

Hepcat Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Why only a 9.0, the scans show no defects Three things: 1. The miswrap with the crooked white stripe showing on the upper left. 2. The white stripe isn't as bright a white as I like for my comics, meaning the comic isn't as white and bright as I would want overall. 3. There seems to be a touch of wear around the upper staple. Although once again my #10 looks better in hand than does the scan which exaggerates its weaknesses. All my comics have good eye appeal. But I also know the fellows at CGC care not at all for eye appeal preferring instead to squint to find minor defects.

Hawkman23 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Very true they wouldn't grade against the miswrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLA Brad Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm thinking that when this issue goes up for auction next month that it is going to generate some $$$: JLA #25 9.6 WHITE Looks like a good, clean copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Very sharp looking copy of a book that, as I've mentioned previously, is very tough to find in 9.4, let alone 9.6. However, the miswrap doesn't thrill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLA Brad Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The problem with having extremely high standards like that is that you could wait forever for a comic that could very well not even exist. That 9.6 has what I would call a very slight miswrap. It isn't crooked from what I can see, so the cover does present quite well. Is there another 9.6 somewhere out there perfectly wrapped? Who knows? I probably wouldn't let it deter me if I wanted to try and win the auction. A better wrapped 9.4 or that particular 9.6 - its all up to individual taste I suppose.

JLA Brad Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 So, I guess then you wouldn't be interested in this #33, which is wrapped slightly worse than the #25: JLA #33 Auction Even with its white pages and 9.8 CGC designation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 No, I wouldn't, but that's me. As you say, at least the miswrap in the #25 is fairly narrow and straight. The #33 is crooked, which is the most grating kind of miswrap of all. But everyone should follow their own tastes--there are plenty of ultra-HG collectors out there who don't care about miswraps (as evidenced by many of the 9.8 and 9.6 monstrosities proudly displayed by their owners on these boards).

JLA Brad Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I don't know Hepcat, I would choose Wonder Woman and Batgirl over Queen Bee. Queen Bee is just too darn bossy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
