Posted one of the earliest/worst ones before. This is one of the latest/better ones. Thanks in advance. Wear aside, 5.0 to 5.5 being the technical grade range for this beauty, the long term storage environs for this book were perfect. Not too dry, not to moist; just perfect. I love the Boring Superman covers so I know them quite well, I always take notice and this book has the freshest, brightest, as printed colors and finish I've ever seen. The cover white is stunning. There's been no off-gassing or pulp/acid infiltration into the cover, which is why those colors look so pure, as they are not muted by cover aged tone. The original "heat" of the colors when printed is still intact, just amazing. This was not attic or basement stored as are 95% of all original owner collections. Though 5.5ish, this gem would bring a 7.5 price on ebay, or more! There are more from this collection?

Galen130 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 A press isn’t a bad idea. Nice book...5.0. Maybe 6.0 after pressing. vcac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 you could flatten this one out under a stack of magazines and some weights and list it in the "fine" range on eBay no problem, if inclined..... vcac and FoggyNelson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhialtoTheMarvellous Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Definitely could benefit from a press. It would remove all the waves and non-color breaking creases and dents. Probably a 5.0 without a press and a 6.0 with one. vcac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
