Very cool. Such a poor rating, that thing looks it went through hell! I wonder what it smells like in there, old comics always have the strangest smells. I never owned a comic in one of those plastic cases before. I always wondered if you could open them.

Lmao @ spitfires quirky post. Thats great, man. I imagine you must've paid a good bit for it, its a piece of history!

A mangled-up piece of history is still a piece of history. Not too many copies of that one floating around, that's for sure. Congrats.

I almost snagged a crappy copy of Superman #2 for like two grand a few years ago but couldn't come up with the cash quick enough.

No, you can't open CGC cases. Otherwise the grade would be pointless.

Anyway, I actually would rather have a lower grade when it comes to marvel keys. Someone read the **** out of this book and loved it...It has history... It wasnt sitting in come hermetically sealed vault for 40 years.

Actually you CAN open them, but then the grade would go out the window. Great score man!
