They cherry picked only the very best copies. Kids generally don't have that line of thought. They want nice copies but are not going to pass up a cool book because it isn't minty mint. I recall buying some books myself that were the last available copies on the rack and had some visual damage -- but if you want that book, you buy it. Also-- the amount of books that get delivered back then in 9.6/9.8 shape was fairly rare even if you were first one to pick from the books. Interesting. Although I cared about the condition of my books I did not go crazy looking for every flaw at the newstand. Back then, Mint condition to me as a teenager really meant anything better than very find today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think about the way I handled my comic collection back then and shudder...this was the pre-board era too, so just rifling through the stacks was hell on spines...
