I, too, have looked for a decent copy for years. Unsuccessfully

Is it because of low print runs?

[Cat-Man_America]

Many factors, including high desirability with collectors.  

These issues, esp. #8, start the epic HT & Subby battle...

It’s amazing, ...this is one of the rare occasions where I can tell from a distance that something was pressed!

Well, if it was I don't know about it.  I bought that book in the mid-90s from a collector in CA, and all of the Nedor books I got from him were in really nice condition.  I assumed he bought them in the 60s or 70s in the same condition.  What makes you think it was pressed?

It was intended as a joke, but don't feel bad that it slipped past you as I don't think anybody else caught it either (at the time I thought it was obvious from the cover art).    ...

...more ale!

 If anyone says this cover has some serious trim on the right side, I won't argue...

It was too subtle even for my warped sense of humor...
