THWhite Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 On the back cover is a bottom 1/4" tear and a couple 1/8" chips out on the left edge. I've seen other copies of this book with the same printing defect. The staples are slightly discolored but not rusty. When I got it, it reeked of moth balls, but it's mostly dissipated now. No internal defects. I have a pretty strong opinion on the grade ( Spoiler 5.5 ), but curious what others think. Thanks! 1950's war comics and Galen130 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was bidding but bowed out if its the same one. I bowed out though. While I think it is a good deal, it was more than I wanted to pay. That and I have no idea what an actual 6.5 would go for if graded.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On GPA, there are no sales of copies above 5.5 for the last 6 years. Hopefully it will sit ungraded for many years in my collection though. thewritestuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
