Gotham Kid Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) I've looked over the Larson Detective 37 so many times. Just can't bring myself to upgrade piece out bottom cover ( I think this is the deal breaker, sadly ) - GIVEN on fc spelled backwards ( what's up with that ? ) - red ink all over the bc Edited July 31, 2019 by Gotham Kid pmpknface, sacentaur and Spyder! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Not a fan too of that piece off the front cover, but I think the grade given is within reason. The spine looks flawless and if that piece were still attached to the book, I can see it grading in the 9.0 neighborhood.

The red stains match from the back cover. Primetime, path4play and Gotham Kid 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can discern, Joe Tricarichi originally graded each book before selling them off? Kinda curious to see if the grade matches up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous owner mentioned he had it close to 20 years maybe? He bought it because the cover looked cool. He had no clue what a Larson was until I pointed it out..
