Interesting to note that the (old) CGC label indicates the book was ”pressed”...

Yes, but that's only because it was done at the same time as cleaning which was considered to be restoration at the time.

I believe if you get the book regraded, it would no longer receive the dreaded PLOD label and the Pressed designation because cleaning (both wet and solvent) is now considered to be Conservation.  (thumbsu

Thanks Dan, me too.

Did some research, Irene became deaf as an infant (illness) and apparently lived her whole life in Dublin, Georgia. She became a fairly well known local photographer, traveling and exhibiting her images. Irene never married. She passed away in 2013 aged 91.

Did you get a chance to research anything about the size and collecting time period of her comic book collection?  hm

I did ask the seller who moved these books if he had any such info, alas not.

Were these the only 2 Irene Claxton books that the seller had or were are of, or were their quite a few other books from her collection which he had for sale?  hm

Just a few Dean, some had already sold - it is Gary Dolgoff Comics on eBay (who was great to deal with by the way).

Love the name stamps Steve!

GREAT score Steve! I had been watching Gary slowly lower the prices and had been considering calling him on these 2 books, but you must've done so at the same time I was contemplating it, as they disappeared from eBay. In a way, I thank you, as I shouldn't be spending that much right now. I'm also VERY happy to know that they went into a great collection! Well done my friend!!!
