Blue Bolt v1 #5 (1940) G SOLD
Tape on interior of cover & centerfold. Appears the purpose is to "fix" some splitting. Tanning around the edges of interior pages, but not brittle. Some dust shadows and foxing to front cover. Some writing on front and back cover, nice hand writing on front though :-). Looks great in mylar.
Scarce book, only 8 on census, last sale was a 4.5 for $1680 a little over a year ago.
