Hi everyone,

My name is Landon and I'm 27 years old, owning a AF15 has been a real dream/goal of mine for a LONG time. I've been a huge SM fan my whole life. This was the perfect copy for me and I love it so much! 

I want to thank the seller Bunky Brian, he helped me out a lot and was very informative and patient. 

Glad to be in the club.

that's a really nice book. No MC and the piece out of the back cover wouldn't bother me at all.

That has got to be the nicest AF15 0.5 on the planet.

If the book is being given a 0.5 grading because it is considered to be Incomplete due only to the piece missing from the back cover, than this is where I find CGC's use of this grading to be of absolutely no use and possibly even misleading. 

This is the ideal situation where a Green Qualified label with the actual grade of the book, excluding the impact of the missing piece from the back cover, would provide so much more information to all parties looking at this particular book.

The GLOD may be a worse choice. I'd strongly consider taking it out of the slab and putting it in Mylar.

 waaFirst major book I bought too was an AF 15 CGC 5.0 with some chipping. Was so happy and nervous at the same time waiting for the book to be delivered to me.  Paid a paltry 2500 and I was around 22.

What year was that in?

I've seen the back of the book - about half of the back cover is missing. I owned a 0.5 that had about 20% of the back cover missing and it was not marked "incomplete". This one has some of the front cover missing and it is also not marked "incomplete". I guess CGC works on a certain % of a cover missing for a book to be designated "incomplete"

Impressive

@Spiderturtle   How long did it take you to accumulate that stockpile?

Well, now that's what I call putting all your eggs in one basket, although they would definitely appear to be the right type of eggs. 

Hopefully, you've got more than just AF 15's in your collection though.

You should not post things like that on the world wide web since the IRS might be watching and taking notes. 

Looks like a typo since I am not what that last character is.  I believe you really meant $60K, did you not?

I have not posted mine in a long time.

I see a lot of asking across the board on eBay on all grades. What the going rate for a 3.0 with slight a "small amount of color touch? Asking prices are huge compared to where I got in
