irony?........funny little story
so i'm close to completing my run 100% and i held off of reading the books as much as i could. So i starting reading EW fist and steel. i pull issue number one out of the bag and i am shocked by its condition. feels and smells like it was made inside the bag. perfect. beyond mint...
so the ironic part was, me saying to myself "wow, such great condition" then doh,
i turn and ram the book right into the door. Bent the book in half. if it
was a more expensive book i would probably be crying right now.

Many of my books don't have tape for that reason (hoping the folded down flap approach works...).Rufusharley wrote:There's been many a time where i'm being careful as *SQUEE* taking a comic out of a bag only to have the piece of tape catch the book on the cover.

Yeah, probably could, but I commend you for choosing not to.

Re: irony?........funny little story
I feel your pain. I recently bought a very nice Solar #10 II and dropped it taking it out of the package it arrived in. It was a solid 9.6 before I dinged the upper spine corner.wesmantooth wrote:so i'm close to completing my run 100% and i held off of reading the books as much as i could.
