This piece was my first 12-cent cover in 9.8 grade. I'm pleased with the structure of this book; very flat, tight spine, and page edges that are still white, all and all a very fresh piece with tremendous eye appeal. This dark background makes this issue in particular difficult to obtain in high grade. The cover is typical of the Silver Age and right out of the original Star Trek T.V. show of the era.
I had to have this piece, I won it on ComicLink, breaking my personal record at the time for the highest price I'd ever paid for a book. Not long after winning this piece, another book came up for sale, Action Comics #399, a piece that belonged to another registry user and one I'd admired for several years, we negotiated a price, then I found myself with two expensive books to pay off. Both books were special opportunities, I decided I was just going to make it work. I sold several books to raise the funds for these pieces, the time and effort paid off.
