G.A.tor Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Lots of Superman 14s and all star 8s seem to be a little wider than the slabs and hence get the larger slab. medusanyc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t like it when - Surprise! - a comic shows up in a larger slab. When this came in the mail is the first time I had any inkling of such a thing. I showed it to CGC when they set up at a local con and they said sorry, nothing to be done here. It’s maybe 1/8th of an inch wider than golden age, but I have no idea why. Anyway, due to the larger holder, I have this book stuck off in some weird storage spot because it won’t fit with the others. In looking back, I don’t even know why I picked this up other than the fact that the enthusiasm for GGA from many of my favorite boardies here is contagious! Well, that, plus it still cracks me up that Matt Baker got away with such a bawdy cover.

Nobody cares about the slab when it comes to this particular book as it's really all about the naughty banter between the 2 women in the background. Anybody read the interior story as I am just wondering what the guy's name is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
