Nope. I found out after posting the link that photobucket no longer works. Tried deleting my post and couldn't do that either. Sorry!

Photobucket doesn't any longer allow hosting unless you pay for it.

You CAN just drag and drop the picture into the new forum software now. No need for Photobucket.

Thanks DK!

I was hoping for a 5.5 when I sent it in, thinking it had an outside shot at a 6.0. I am happy with the press work though; the book looks great front and back and at least it received a .5 bump from the original 4.5.  Here are the notes (which are spot on except I don’t see what they are saying about the back cover must be VERY light).  The grading is what it is:

light crease right bottom of front cover breaks color
light marvel chipping top of front cover
light wear spine breaks color
very light, multiple crease back cover

I’m super happy to have it back in hand.  Its definitely one of the nicest looking 5.0s IMO with incredible eye appeal!  Definitely my keeper copy :cloud9:

Thanks Alex!  I normally do CFP because the work is always outstanding, but in this case for the turnaround time I tried CCS walkthru service because I wanted the book back in hand ASAP. I know everyone isn’t always thrilled with them but they really did a nice job.  No complaints.

I saw this low pence grade copy sell recently - £1,000 / $1300 for a 'poor' copy. What do you guys think - did someone get a bargain (it wasn't me)?

Last night I posted in the ASM collecting thread that I completed a run from #2 to 441. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to purchase an original #1 so I’m wondering how the community feels about the Golden Records reprint as a substitute. What about the Marvel Milestones edition which also reprints the original ads? I look forward to some thoughts and opinions.
