Fran A D Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Recently acquired a Crime suspenstories # 22. It is a double cover. Anyone ever see this particular issue with a double cover? Condition is not great but I'd take a guess at saying its maybe a 3 or 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on if you plan to flip it right away or hold onto it. Why spend the money on grading if you plan to keep the book? Unless you like not being able to touch or look at the interior of your books... FoggyNelson, Primetime, Larryw7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to think of a worthy pun but you beat me two the punch Wish this book wasn't so expensive, as it's my mini grail. I realized I could probably flip my black knight 1 into a vg copy of this, but the idea of trying to sel a 3k book on ebay scares me Edited December 29, 2020 by waaaghboss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran A D Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 As it is, its probably the most valuable comic I now own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you basing this on the condition of the exterior cover or on the interior cover which CGC uses to determine their final grade? Personally, I always feel that it should be an average of the 2 grades at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 if it were somehow carefully removed the spare cover alone could be worth at least half as much as the complete comic i would think FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I would only slab it if you think I you'll sell it. Great book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
