To me, there was always something special about the weekly SPIRIT Sections that came in the Sunday newspaper. The stories and art seemed different from my favorite comic books. |

@martymann just curious, did other people, such as friends and family, read or look through your comic books as you were accumulating your collection? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by martymann I have an appreciation for your books being a childhood collection. The high-grade Pedigrees that we see tend to be from people who collected as adults or late-teens and preserved them well. If they were collected as kids, they must not have had any friends who they let read the books. Yours are mostly mid-grade and I figure they probably had a pretty full life and were well-read before going into storage. |

Never saw these on the newsstand but was happy to find them in the store that sold remainder comics...the same store that sold loose cigarettes to kids for a penny each. MYSTERY IN SPACE #1 DANGER TRAIL #1 |

Not only did the distributor remove a third of the cover but many sprayed or painted the edges of the book with blue or black ink. Still they made it to the corner store for re-sale. WEIRD FANTASY #7 It appears that CGC considers this "color touch" and grades the book as RESTORED even with a third of the cover missing. |

@martymann Glad they left the lady in the red dress with her head still there. Makes it much more desirable. Nice pick up... |
