Or a Second thirty in thirty???

I posted about CBCS in a journal earlier today. I'm hoping it will not be deleted, but in case it was, here is another one to keep the streak alive.

Covers, let's talk about covers. Graded books can not be read unless the slab is cracked. I don't know anyone purchasing a premium comic book at a premium price just to read it. I'm sure Vince didn't crack open the Action Comics #1 just for that purpose.

I will continue to send in the following...

New Mutants 58

New Mutants Annual 4

New Mutants Annual 1(for signatures)

My Birthday Year/Month books

... and whatever covers I like.

I purchased a beautiful copy of Strange Tales. I have enjoyed this cover for years but never purchased it until this year. On top of my choice books, I'm allowing myself to send in ten books to get graded, ten books because of the cover alone, ten books that I won't care about the grade.

And that is difficult to do. I love having my Daredevil issue 1 in a 4.0. I wouldn't mind eventually getting a higher grade, but I don't particularly like the cover. Even Amazing Spider-Man 50, as iconic as it is, isn't very colorful. Which reminded me how much I love those one color comic books (actually two) like FF 75. Great, more books to send in.

Thanks for reading
