Owner's Description

This is a tough run to put together in high grade-and in case of many of these books, a 9.0 is a high grade. This book was on the CL Exchange, along with Issues #262 and #263, for many months, I needed all three-along with dozens of others-to complete this set, which is still very much a work-in-progress. But I honestly thought all three were overpriced and so I went through a ritual of offers and counter-offers. I think I ultimately overpaid on each, but there were no other high-grade options available.

At any rate, Issue #257 features a rather weird cover with a funny little man, who looks more like an accountant with a receding hairline, in a flying saucer. Our 9.0 is the singe highest graded copy in the census. We acquired the book from the CL Exchange in February 2024.*
