Description: PLEASE NOTE: I’m not a professional grader but have over 40 years of collecting, trading & selling comic books & other collectibles. Please read description in 3rd paragraph. Please view all photos & ask any questions you may have. Grading is not a science. The impact or the importance of flaws to a book can vary from person to person. I may feel a faint water stain on the back cover is minor where someone else feels it’s more of a major defect. What I may think is a 6.0 or 6.5 someone else may think it’s a 5.0 or 5.5. I try to note what I feel are the most notable of defects and give honest grade ranges. I’m not trying to hide anything, I just may think something is not as major as someone else. Please do not purchase if you disagree or like to debate grade ranges. Purchase professionally graded comics then. I see the poorly graded comics listed out there. Also it is not my concern how the book can possibly be improved or not improved by a pressing, cleaning or any other restoration. Thank you and sorry for the rant. Offered up from my personal collection is a “RARE” OUR LOVE STORY #5. Published by Marvel Comics in 1970. Stories by Stan Lee, art by “industry legends” Jim Steranko, Gene Colan, John Buscema, Frank Giacoia & John Romita with cover by John Romita. YOU’LL SHARE EVERY KISS - - EVERY TEAR! Vintage “KEY” OUR LOVE STORY issue and a “MUST HAVE” for any Marvel Comics completist/collector. In my estimation the book ranges in “NICE” (5.0) VERY GOOD/FINE to (5.5) FINE- condition with medium to dark cream pages. Some significant moderate wear to cover, spine, corners & edges. Both left corners are blunted, tiny tear at bottom left corner, cover has areas of faint wrinkling, very small water stain at top left which is really only visible on inside, back cover has 4.00 written in pencil at top & stray ink pen scribble at bottom left and book has age discoloration/staining/soiling. A tight, sharp, bright & glossy looking copy. There are no other glaring flaws to note, that is not typical to books falling under the indicated grade ranges or visible in pictures. I am not a professional grader but grade very conservatively using The Overstreet Price Guide as reference and my 40+ years of comic book collecting/selling experience. Pictures are of the actual book you will receive. No stock photos. All books come bagged & boarded. Books are packed with care by a lifelong collector. All books are shipped “FREE” of charge.
