The Grade is In - PGM - Golden Age Sub-Mariner #18 (1945) 3 3

[rexinnih]

I posted this over in the Timely thread and now have the urge to submit for grading. So let's see what the team thinks on this one. 

Golden Age Sub-Mariner #18 with great Schomburg cover. 

• Bottom staple detached
• Centerfold detached
• Small chips, pieces on top edge of front cover 
• Looks like red ink (?) line in the "M" in the Mariner of Sub-Mariner in the title (hope that's not stated as "color touch" as it's white, green and yellow in the area)
• Overall nice color and not bad for a 1945 comic

Well, I guess this is a prime example of their new "don't disclose the defects on the label" policy.
