Hangman 7 - trimmed or other? 0

[manetteska]

Is this potentially trimmed? Or other? Or just too hard to tell from pictures?

 

 

[G.A.tor]

picture leads me to believe trimmed quite a bit?

[Point Five]

Yep. Looks trimmed quite a lot on the right edge. Maybe it came out of a bound volume? The spine also looks a bit wonky, like the cover wrap was glued to the interior.

Compare the two to see how much you are missing.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to look at it in person and saw some rough, choppy pieces on the right edge. This was up at a local auction on Sunday; I was in up to a point but didn't want to take the risk.

Probably more astounding is this lot of GA that was up for auction:

Auction estimate was $100-$150; was debating my max (incl buyer premium) when the lot opened at $400.

Were the classics the original editions?  The Arabian Nights appears to be. 

My limited experience with local auctions is that, rather than deals, you end up contending with irrational exuberance from other bidders.  So, I tend to skip them.

Not exactly the same, but very similar.

I'm sure IGB could increase the similarity!

The trimmed copy that started this thread. If I read it correctly, it was in the same auction that saw the Classics sell for $400.

Yes, they were the originals from what I saw. The winning bid didn't come from someone in the room, so I wonder if he/she was able to look before buying. The grades and descriptions given by the auction house were not very good.

$350 + 18% (or so) premium. It's definitely cut weird and rolled, but I'm not able to say if it was definitively trimmed or not. I would have taken a risk at a lower price point, but for at least $443 I was out.

The winner was also not in the room -- though could have checked out the comics before and bid from home.
