Boba Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hi guys My first GA book! Not as pretty as Boba's but the difference is this ones MINE! And this thread needed a bump! Beautiful looking copy for a lower grade that's for sure. (thumbs u I'm honored you have such high regard for my copy, but rest assured there are folks here that have copies of their own that are quite nice as well. That's a great book to have. Congrats!

Mongkorn Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I know my collection is just a tiny fish in the deep section of the pool here. That's why I really appreciate you heavyweights taking the time to spare some kind words! Much respect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightsofold Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 On the newsstand 73 years ago July 22nd 1942....... This beauty also hit the newsstands on that day. I got this a couple weeks ago but I wanted to wait till it's anniversary to post it. She's missing the last page (a repro glued in), but I still love her. Maybe someday I'll find that missing page.

OtherEric Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi guys My first GA book! Not as pretty as Boba's but the difference is this ones MINE! And this thread needed a bump! Any idea what happened to the lower right corner? I'm assuming that's what caused such a sharp looking book to grade so low. Just in general, I love books like that when I hit them... Sharp books with one minor flaw that drops the cost way down but are otherwise great. I've got a Venus 11 with about a 3 inch tear in the back cover that would probably otherwise be a 7.0 or so... that I paid a 2.0 price for.

Mongkorn Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks guys for the congrats. There is a small tear on the cover but the lion share grade hit is the missing piece taht goes through the book. No idea why someone would do that, but it worked out for me! The spine of the book is so pristine it is begging me to be cracked out and read Knightsofold : Nice Reveal!

skypinkblu Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Another fantastic book! Congrats, what a great front cover! I think it's a lot easier to find a first wrap than a cover or a centerfold, so fingers crossed...but either way, it's wonderful:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That's a gorgeous copy of #1! Beautiful colors on that cover. My guess about the clipped corner on the #7 is a candy store owner did it to sell in the back issues pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongkorn Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Interesting comment Boba. Was that a common practice? I guess i gotta thank the Candyman otherwise this book would have been out of reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I don't know how common it was but I remember store owners that clipped the corners and sold the books as back-issues. I don't know why they didn't just tear the titles off and return the books like so many others, maybe they made more money that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
