Qua-Brot Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thanks for looking, and helping if you can. This is a beautiful high-grade copy, except for the crease on the lower left back cover. How much of a hit will this give the book? I am going to get it pressed, so it will be a little less obvious, but still it breaks color. No tanning, spine is great, cover has no creasing or staining. Really the only issue is the crease. Thanks again! FoggyNelson and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 6.5 / 7.0 but I'll be curious to see what others say. A press will help. Without the crease I would think 7.5 / 8.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vheflin Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 After a press I say 8.5 that crease doesn't bother me in the slightest, real nice copy you got there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it breaks colour then I'd say 8.0 after a press. Let us know, this is a pretty awesome comic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at other books from this collection and there is moderate tanning around all edges in some of the books, and so in contrast this tanning escaped my attention. I did notice it the first time I looked at the book. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool collection you acquired! Thanks, yes, more eyes the better. It was, and I was the 2nd person to get to it! First guy got some nice early Archies and a few other books (I wish he had left for me), but he left nice books like this anyway.

theCapraAegagrus Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 6.5 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Very nice book!!! That crease made me cringe, but the uniqueness of the comic gives me positive waves, Moriarty. Lol. 7.5/8.0, with pressing...IMO. Good luck. Make sure you post the slab pics once it comes back. That book needs to be preserved!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggyNelson Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I hint the crease will really hurt the grade, but it will be the best looking for the grade whatever it is , 😷😷 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
