Splurged and got ripped

As previously stated, I am "Condensing" my Comic Book Collecting to three major categories:
  • Justice League stuff (especially the Giffen/Dematties era)
  • Comics that feature Disney Land
  • Christmas-themed comics


Received a coupon for $10 of free comics from <http://www.milehighcomics.com">Mile High Comics, decided to order some comics there that fall in line with my new collecting habits. Most of it was 50-cents to $2 at the most, but then I came across a pretty darned good deal on an Alvin & The Chipmunks Christmas comic book from 1963. It was listed as being in "Good" condition and the folks at Mile High are always a bit stingy on their grading, so i figured why not?

Got my order today, all the comics are AWESOME... except for the Alvin & The Chipmunks one :( It looks like whoever packed my order accidentally FOLDED THE COMIC IN HALF, bag board and all! A giant crease right in the middle! GRRRRRR!!!
