Two awesome books!

however, nope and nope - but the Girls' Love 52 has been considered a quasi or honorary grey tone just for the feel of it.  Also, the Secret Hearts 59 , same thing

:takeit:Thanks. I have two copies and both grades added up wouldn't be as nice as that one. A definite no on the Girls' Romances though?

no - BUT I would call it Gene Colan's best romance cover, far and away.  I used to own the highest graded 8.5 and sold it 3 years ago for $250 and I've regretted it every other day since.  Oh well!

Those are probably partial washtones.  The background definitely looks like the effect was used, similar to All Star Western 109.

Technically listed as last GA issue but close enough for here. Never seen this grey tone cover and not listed as such in the guide.

Super cool cover. And I know opinions vary on the topic, but I personally cannot consider anything with a comics code on it to be Golden Age. Early Silver? Sure. But not GA in my opinion.
