Is that Contentious Monster wearing swim trunks? :D I think so. :) That's a chastity belt, because that Contentious Monster is actually a princess with a curse. If you can manage to win her heart, she reverts back to her original form and the chastity belt falls off.

Yeah, it's very difficult to tell from the poor quality of those photos. Based on what I CAN see, I would think the spine defects alone would limit the grade to FN+ (6.5) or less, but there's no telling what other surprises might be present. I'd be a little concerned that the seller has owned it for over a year and hasn't been able to grade it any better than Fair to Good. Grading isn't rocket science. If he thinks it's no better than GD 2.0, then he should be able to tell you why with specificity. The listing says "Good to Fair condition", so I'm inclined to think the seller knows nothing about grading. After studying the pictures carefully, based on what I can see, I can't give it any better than VG+. Check the pages for clipped out coupons or tears when you receive the book.

A little expensive for a twenty dollar coin though. Yes, but it sure does look nice. The wife wants one...sigh. And she'll get it. I want one.

We've been talking about this in a various ways for a while now. Not Noting The NewsstandsCorrect or incorrect, the following is something that I see all the time in the larger comic book community, especially with new collectors: Thoughts? :shrug:

is there a link to the video No, he took it down because he caught too much flack for spinning an Avengers #4 around on a table. All that's left of the video is the gif that someone made, that's it down there in my sig line. You could here the book sliding around, abrading the surface.
