I know, right?! And no notes for being incomplete, so I'm guessing it is due to the split and the extra staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I've been around since page 1 of this thread and don't remember an answer for this: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=8088462&fpart=5 Is there a definitive location/document that we attribute to coining the phrase "pre-hero Marvel"? -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK STARR Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well, my newly slabbed STs' came back today. All pretty much what I hoped for give or take a half grade here and there. I will include the pre-code books, too. [ This copy came from the same collection where the issues before and after graded out 8.0 and 9.0 respectively. Just a tough, tough issue in high grade.
