How did I forget my favorite one?
It was easy -- it's oversized so it wasn't in the stack with the others.
Buck Rogers 2 from Famous Funnies/ Eastern Color in July 1941.
The notorious "Is that an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator or are you just glad to see me?" cover by Calkins! Yeah, I know it's a wreck, but I won it for the opening bid. If I were into that sort of thing, I wonder whether it would be a candidate for restoration. Probably not enough demand to justify the cost.

Cool, you got one!
I wouldn't bother with resto - it wouldn't be worth it for this book. You can occasionlly find a decent VG for well under guide on ebay. I would just upgrade it when you get the chance.
I will say though that, although it still probably wouldn't be worth it, a simple pressing would probably greatly improve the fc eye appeal by removing the spine roll so that the missing pieces on the spine would be shifted to the bc.
