Hey CG, If you say this White Mountain...

... CGC 9.6 Spiderman #1 RAW, in an ebay auction, what would you think of its impossibly smooth edges and impossibly sharp corners? ;)

(I meant if you "saw" this White Mountain)

Do you know who's selling it?

No idea. This one really looks worthy of a 9.6. If it was in a 9.8 slab I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Corners and edges so perfect that they defy being produced on the machinery of the times.

By comparison, JP's 9.6 Spiderman #1 (the CGC 9.6 label a magnificent 90,000 dollar gift on what amounts to a $10,000 Spiderman #1), with it's heat, moisture, and pressing exploding bottom left corner, paper tears around the staples and flaked crease in the lower right corner, looks like pure manure next to this one.

While you're studying the Spiderman 1, here's ANOTHER one with eerie edges and corners to ponder what your initial reaction to it would be were you to see it offered RAW:

Coincidentally, this one just happens to be VERY short, top to bottom, for a Green Lantern #40. It's been a staple on Link for a long, long time.
