Im surprised that this wasn't graded as restored with all those staples keeping it together. There are certain things about .5's that make one more noticeable than the others. Other than the back cover where the extra staples really make them selves known, the front cover or more particularly the spine and the way it is shredded just draws my eye.

Isn't it everyones goal to complete a set. My father almost opened up a comic book store. During his research I also immersed myself into it everything he had...one of those items was the latest Overstreet's price guide. I looked through that and some of the titles I was curious about were the Tales to Astonish, Tales of Suspense, and Journey into Mystery titles. And I never collected them. Collecting issue 62 and issue 63 back to back just hammers those memories in that maybe I should still do that.

This was my first Tales to Astonish in a point five. It is also an older case. Eventually I might decide to turn this one in just for the newer case. And I am reminded that the MMMS wants me.
