It’s a giveaway, but as Point Five has stated, it’s a children’s book and you’ll see them with a few different large store chains not unlike the later giveaway comics like Buster Brown and Weather Bird.

I had always thought a whole wall full of soda bottles would be a cool display, but it’s difficult when other stuff demands wall space. Most of my bottles sit patiently in sturdy old cardboard beer cases still except for a few bookcase shelves where I rotate various bottles through…

Also getting sick of Pedro Pascal, seems like very uninspired casting. He is a fine actor, but not good enough to explain the number of jobs he is getting
His worldview aligns extremely well with a lot of the people in charge of these things. Perhaps therein lies part of the answer?

Happy to see they are catching missing pages.
Why would it get a qualified grade? Because it’s a tacit admission the cover is the only thing worth consideration for the hobby going forward?? Just greasing up the gears and getting that mammoth inertial flywheel going on the commodification engine?
Why wouldn’t it get a 0.5? It’s incomplete.

I think I'll probably be looking back on this auction and regretting not going after a few more aggressively too, but it was great as an eye opener and seeing some price ranges established on certain books. Hope to continue seeing more focused auctions like this one.
That thing is as faded as a “gray” Challengers of the Unknown number one.
I’ve had my beater copy for fifty years. It’s one of four comics my grandma found in the attic of their old balloon-frame house that my aunt had read as a kid. No Marvel Mystery, no Captain America, not even Captain Marvel. The four books were the below Youthful Love Romances, a Love Romances 9 (photo cover), My Desire 31, and a very cool oddball, Jughead 1. My brother got first and second choice since he was older, and took the Youthful Love and naturally the Jughead. That left me with a beater Love Romances 9 and an equally compromised My Desire 31. I always maintained for decades later I should’ve at least gotten choices two and four…
I eventually conned him out of this one but he kept the Jughead. I can’t say I blame him.

I'm going to leave the thread open a few more days and then send out invoices. Thanks to everyone for all the 'takes' and your interest.
Edit: Thread is now CLOSED.

What a really fantastic marketing tool the census is, especially in this nascent phase.
I mean, I’m really tempted to send in some late 40’s westerns and other under-the-radar pulps so I can puff up my chest and claim the “highest graded” for a while…
