I'm amazed hearing your stories of buying these books off the newstand and bus stations as a kid with a shiny dime and still own them 75 years later.

👍

Funny that you said that.

Back when Tim Taylor’s strode the earth, one of the LCS near me had a 181 on their shelf right next to where the sun would shine in.

You could practically watch the color fade from it.

I just figured it was added incentive for someone to buy...


Like holding it hostage?

@sborock Missed out on a copy of that by $10 at a recent auction. Painful.

@vacaboca Croc-dude shows up more than once - I'm pretty sure he's on at least two covers. No idea what his story is, though.

@Huntergreene2

Ha ha! Maybe?

Like, “buy this book or watch it fade away like Marty McFly.”

@sborock whoa!

I know you can’t give us grades, but that picture looks like a really well taken care of book.

Is it actually on the upper end of quality or just a really good camera?

Amazing!

@martymann, When you bought the books, taking and developing a picture would have cost many times what the book cost. Photographs were treasured and comic books were thrown away. Today the pictures are free, they can be infinitely reproduced and the books are worth hundreds of dollars. We're living in a Science Fiction story.

I rarely feel the need to reply to these, but I really envy the person that owns this.
