Based on that scan on the other site I would think it's a VG/F myself. A bit too much wrinkling along the spine and some water damage on the bottom left to grade higher IMO. Not seeing that in your scan though, is it the same comic?

Regardless of the grade, nice score.


Thanks U.S.,

It does look wrinkly in that scan. I don't know why. It doesn't look that way at all...it looks just like the scans I made. Maybe it was pressed?

I dunno, but either way, it looks great now!!

Great find, Tex! I think you got a great deal, sometimes taking a chance is worth it! Wish I'd paid that much for my GSX#1.


Hey!!

Whatup Slay?!! How are you? Rockin' in the P.R. right?

Thanks man, I had put this issue on the big back-burner with Avengers #1, ASM #1, and AF #15, but I happened to be looking in the right place at the right time!

It gives me hope that I'll chase down those issues one day for the TEX price, LOL!!

Take care brother!

WOW!!! That's just ridiculous!! I was actually looking at both of those issues at my LCS the other day, they wanted $1250 for GS #1 and it didn't look any better than yours does. Great pickup Tex!

Spidey


Yeah, I don't see those moving anytime soon. I think Ken over graded those.


Wow,

$1250 is brutal...it must be pristine?

Nope.  Like I said it doesn't look better than yours.  I actually think the white cover of yours is brighter than the one at the LCS.

Spidey

You ever try going mad without power?  It's boring, no one listens to you!

Thanks Spidey,

That makes me feel great!

I don't have any info to compare when it comes to grades that people are buying and what they are paying. My lcs has no back issues to speak of...well they have a box of CGC stuff that I've never seen move. They don't take back-issues for credit either. I don't know what people are buying, except by using ebay. If I had the money available, and I happened by that lcs at the right time AND if the comic didn't look like dog cookies, I probably would've become the huckleberry that bought it, LOL!!

I REALLY, REALLY wanted this comic. Usually I'm very patient and I can wait forever, but those comics the I mentioned above and The Brave and the Bold #28 make me crazy when I see them. Luckily I got B&B #28 for a steal last year.

Hey guys!!

How's you bacon cooking? Good? GREAT!! Isn't great to be alive?

Sorry I haven't been able to hang out as much but I am swamped with work and my internet has been down intermittently throughout the week. What can ya do? You can do what I did.

1. First be nice.
2. Be slightly irritated.
3. Be nice again when they give you a discount on your bill.

I think that it was only fair since we need the internet for both work and play. I don't like going to a coffee house just to use the wi-fi.

Anyway, while it seems to be working, I wanna show you guys something that came in yesterday. Are you ready to rock?!! No, are you ready to RO-O-O-O-O-O-O-CK, yeah?!!! Didn't know that TEX could sing didja? LOL! Check it:

SPRNTRL THRLLRS #5

That's a nice one innit? It's Supernatural Thrillers #5, the 1st app of N'Kantu, the Living Mummy. Yea-yea!!

COST: $3.80!!!

ENJOY!!!
