You trading all that in for a score ?

Nope, just enjoying them raw after years of looking at them through plastic.

 

I hate to think how much lower the grades are now! :cry:

But the 'real' grades are still the same. :grin:

I had one small mishap with a new holder, causing a 1/8" tear on an Airfighters #11. It probably changes the grade from a 9.2 to an 8.5. Pretty much a bummer except I wouldn't sell it anyway so what does it really matter? So one small bit of damage out of approximately 400 books cracked. Not a bad percentage.

What a wonderful sight. My nerve would've cracked long before that many slabs.

Same here. I actually got my All Select #1 slabbed because I was afraid I would damage it by constantly reading the darn thing. I can't imagine how I'd be with that stack of old paper happiness! :applause:

Major respect for doing this.

I get the heebie jeebies every time I crack a book out in case I damage it, and mine are not in this league.

Also it's refreshing to know that some Dealers actually love the books and not just the $$ they stand for.

Kudos. (worship)

That picture makes me want to lie down on that table and roll around in that pile of sweet GA.

 

Oh, great. Now I've got that image in my brain for the rest of my life.

 

Woof!
