@Darkseid_of_town Agreed! Love the characters and if done right, I think Barda will be very very popular. I pick up high grade copies whenever I can of 4.

Used my ebay bucks and got a really good deal on this book! I think it could benefit, at least a little bit, from a future press.

Next book on my list is Hulk 449!

This box came today

I have not seen this sticker before

It was a boarded comic wrapped in bubble wrap, with 2 sheets of paper and wadded up newspaper inside

But the book was just fine, 6.0 I think

And these came too, every one is missing 10 pages or so. My plan is as I run across coverless, I will marry them, and make myself reader copies. Missing 8 and 15 though.The definition of a man with too much time

Let me apologize now about the slight spine roll @BigRedOne1944, this was the best I could afford and I figured I needed to start somewhere.




Congratulations on that classic Jack Kirby book! You most certainly don't owe me any apology for anything. Every collector has their own unique tolerances and collecting style and doesn't have to justify that to anybody else, and most certainly not me. All that really matters is that YOU are happy and find enjoyment with your collection. Happy collecting!

yeah mine is the same way, always bugged me
honestly was more important for me to find a good wrap. Staple placement on this book didn’t bother me too much. Great book u have


I have kind of shied away from similar staple placement, but I personally feel as @Steverogers11 does, the nice wrap is much more important. I could live with the staples. Beautiful book! congratulations on that nicely centered book!

WOW!!!!! that is some serious box damage! Its a miracle the book survived. Was the book made of Steel? after all it was Superboy.

also congratulations on those super cool Amazing Fantasy books! Thats something you don't see every day.

@Darkseid_of_town yup! that's why I've got 5 copies of 8.5 and better. Hoping the new pickup grades out around 9.4-9.6 to stay in my PC.

i appreciate that, but before you started mentioning the wrap alignment, I never thought about it. now I notice it all the time so it'e cool. I learned something and that's always a plus.

Please continue to ignore anything I post. southerncross private msg quote post Address this user
@sportshort nice pick it up 👍

Me personally low grade books and mid grade like your New God's 1 with a mis wrap is perfectly fine 😀

It's when the books hit the 9s I'm less inclined to like. Way I see it if you're paying for a book in the 9s and with so many graded I'd rather one not just in good condition but one that was manufactured perfectly as well.

Unless the book is priced as a bargain.
Wallet wins every time 👍

"...Wallet wins every time" - Amen to that.

Your Welcome. Sometimes I just like the comic books for being comic books and not necessarily for what their monetary value. Good eye on the blue FF cover. How is the cover surface on that book? While it looks really nice, scans can be misleading sometimes.

Glad I could help. The cover wrap is the first thing I personally look for in a comic book and its very important to me. Its less of an issue for others as everybody has their own personal tastes and preferences which is what makes each collection uniquely personalized. Thanks again posting such a classic book
