Popular Post Randall Dowling Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 Just received this today from an excellent board member on the other side of the ocean. Just need the last 3 and my set is complete. So tough to find in nice shape with the poster. Thanks, @batmiesta!

It's so damn hard to find one of these with the glue binding breaking loose, and pages falling out. Randall Dowling and bounty_coder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so damn hard to find one of these with the glue binding breaking loose, and pages falling out. Yeah, mines in good shape but I don’t open it up any wider than 3” when looking through it now. When I first got it years ago I opened it normally and heard a slight “crack”! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first got it years ago I opened it normally and heard a slight “crack”! Funny that's exactly what happened with mine.

Would the CGC graders throw caution to the wind and open the book fully and risk loosening pages? Or would they be more careful, not a risk I’d take currently...

Some of my older mag cases seem pretty thick but maybe this book is past their limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post batmiesta Posted March 12, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) This book is exactly the same, nigh impossible to find with all pages intact and I am also wary about opening it.
