See below for complete information
on the condition of these beautifully-preserved classic issues
Long term storage in Mylar bags with acid-free boards
until submission to CGC!!
BOTH of these issues were bagged and boarded soon after I purchased them and - beginning in 1990 - when I converted my entire collection to storage in archival bags, they were preserved in thick archival Mylar bags with heavy-weight acid-free boards, and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled home. Each one was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time to be graded by CGC!! I submitted them to CGC for grading and encasement, and they were returned, with 6.5 and 8.0 Grades, and CONSECUTIVE CGC Certification Numbers. Each copy, both before and after processing by CGC, has NEVER spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, (and NEVER will as long as I own it!) Since they were received from CGC, each of these issues has been stored in, and each one will be shipped to its new owner in, its CGC-issued protective polybag.
Thanks to careful handling, and long-term storage in Mylar, and despite the fact that each one turned SIX DECADES old by the start of 2023, they STILL have vibrant colors on their covers, and their CGC Universal Labels show that #42 still has WHITE pages, while #41's pages rated an Off-White to White designation!!
This pair of issues came back from CGC graded 6.5 (#41) and 8.0 (#42) and sporting CONSECUTIVE Certification Numbers . . .
(2067114003 and 2067114004) - which makes this pair pretty UNIQUE!!
Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copies being offered for sale. The photos show: the front covers of the pair of issues; each front and back cover; the CGC Banner with the Grades and creator and content details for BOTH issues; and the pair of issues back in their CGC-issued polybags and ready to be shipped to their new owner. The final two images show the CGC Census for each issue as of March 29th, 2025.
In every instance, each item you see in one of my listings is the EXACT item you will receive if you’re the winning bidder on one of my auctions, or if you choose one of my items and Buy-It-Now!!

COMBINED SHIPPING COSTS WITH THE eBay CART:
I’ve set up my eBay CART so that - if you’ve put more than one item in the eBay CART and you pay for all the items at once during Check Out - you will be charged one LOW combined shipping fee. No matter how many items you pay for together during Check Out, you will be charged ONLY the highest shipping fee for any ONE item. For example, if you pay for 4 items together and the individual shipping fees are $5.95, $4.95, $3.95, and FREE, you will be charged a TOTAL of $5.95 for shipping.
ABOUT SHIPPING:
I can almost always ship within 1 business day after I receive payment. I’ll ship this CGC-Graded pair by USPS Ground Advantage with USPS Tracking and INSURANCE, for the shipping price quoted in the listing. I’ve carefully preserved these issues since the day each one was originally purchased, and I’m not going to ship them without doing my best to ensure their protection! I pack with EXTRA care to protect the items you buy!!
ABOUT ME AND THE COMICS, MAGAZINES & BOOKS I OFFER FOR SALE:
I've been selling on eBay for more than 7 years now, and I plan to be around for a LONG, LONG time!! I have OUTSTANDING feedback because I treat buyers with the respect and the high level of customer-service they deserve.
My comics, magazines and books have never seen a basement or an attic. They have been boxed, or shelved, and kept in my climate-controlled, smoke-free, pet-free home. Unless noted in the listing, each comic, magazine or book I offer for sale is in Brand New Condition.
I’ve retired now, and selling on eBay is part of my retirement income. I’ve got a big closet full of packing materials and I’m dedicated to packing each order to prevent damage during shipping. You can put your faith in my listings and my interest in customer service. I want to make sure I have satisfied customers who will come back again AND recommend my listings to their friends! Buy with confidence!!
