Grades in with a whopping 90 minutes to spare As a side note, a pox upon the houses of all those who bemoaned all the low grade Gold/Silver beaters that populated previous contests. Looking at one minty fairly modern comic after the other trying to assess the slightest of flaws has proven to be a tedious undertaking. I'd much rather spend time staring at people's junk...

unlucky 13 to i was lucky to get this 13.

You can see the wavy label in the original pix on eBay. If you think it was swapped why not reach out to Ozark? In his description he mentions that the book was never cleaned and pressed. It was "purchased from an older gentleman who did not believe in it." Maybe it's just me, but if I thought I was scammed I'd be relentless in finding the person who pulled off the scam.

I found this other ad which appeared in the same DC comics as the "Tomorrow's Stars Appear Today" ad powerfully influential at the time: Wow! Baseball Coins! Just like the Shirriff/Salada Hockey Coins that had been so popular with young boys in Canada over the previous two winters. I wondered immediately whether the coins would just be offered in the States, but within a week or so I found out that they'd not only showed up in bags of Shirriff Potato Chips on local store shelves, but that Mike M. from just down the street already had some! Mike being over a year older than me was always into the cool stuff first it seemed. Well I had to start collecting the Shirriff Baseball Coins and I did, but I didn't get beyond four or five because other interests/collectibles including the 1962 Baseball cards and the Jell-O/Hostess Potato Chips Aircraft Wheels were competing for my dimes. I do have a set now though which I acquired more than 35 years ago:

Close enough. Whitman inks on Doolin pencils/layout.

Anyone else having issues with board access?

Ok, that's it for right now, will try to make it back for a few more sometime around 8:30pm EST.

Mark Evanier & Steve Sherman certainly were no Stan Lees. "Many of our other readers are no better off than you." "You can hardly expect to understand everything by the end of the second issue." "No one ever said comic books were easy to understand." If Stan were plugging this, he'd be congratulating us all on how intelligent we were to be following this saga, a work of unparalleled genius in the annals of literary masterpieces. And inviting us discerning readers to write in with our own theories as to what was going on or what would be happening next, in order to share how very smart we were with our fellow sophisticated comics connoisseurs.
