So I am inspecting old books... 0

Its the oldest decent book in the collection and i am totally fine with whatever grade it gets.  I think my brother paid 10 buck for it.

Any one ever come across a John Buscema signed comic?

Howard the Duck 1 with a Brunner sig coming back today.  It got a green label and a 9.4 grade, which is pretty good since it had some damage, I actually think pressing helped this time!!

In due time when you become more knowledgeable about submitting, I do think you will regret sending in a Green Label.  I know this specific book means something to you but putting a book in a slab, at least for me, doesn't add to the sentimentality . Pressing takes away all sentimentality for me as it's no longer really the same book. If you love something, you accept it with all original flaws.

That's the problem, they weren't original flaws... as far as the green label I don't care one bit, I have no interest in selling it.  I will probably send in Fear 19 as well.  I am happy so I guess that's all that matters

Huh?  What is your point resurrecting this old thread?  Ohh, you are just trying to be clever... you failed.

While I agree the book is worth slabbing and will present nicely, I hate to inform you that pressing will not remove the subscription 'bend'. It is obviously a color breaking crease. A crease that long will usually hold a book in the 5.5 range. I think they will put the Kirby note on the label and it will not affect the grade. Good luck.

It was exactly in the 5.5 range lol.

So you submitted it and it got a 5.5 ?

And the reference to the Jack Kirby sig is on the label, very cool !

Thanks. Nice to get them right occasionally but I thought this one was easy.  A really nice book otherwise, with a subscription crease, is usually a very predictable 5.5 .
