Nice comics Jeff!

I will never understand why you guys spend money to have these great comics put in plastic cases where you can't read them. I can understand if you are planning to sell, but not if you're keeping the books. If I bought these I'd immediately crack them out and keep them in mylites. The only books I own that are in CGC cases are ones I think I might upgrade at some point.

Convenience. Liquidity. Safety from four-year-olds. :D

Plus, I have reprints of the stuff I want to read.

Here are some pickups from the first eight months of the year.

Picked this up at the Toronto Con a couple of weeks ago from Harley. Nice Dan DeCarlo cover.

My first pre-Action 1 comic. I like these lower grade, raw comics from the early days.

I bought this Young Men 24 as an upgrade to my raw copy, but I'm not sure it is actually nicer. The CGC copy doesn't fit my scanner and is slightly lifted at the label so it looks narrower at the top.

The raw copy (bottom) has the creases at the bottom, but the CGC copy is ragged at the ULHC and the smudge on the Torch's right arm is worse.

The back covers look about the samw and page quality is OWW for both.

Don't you wish they still did the word bubbles on the cover?
