Also is there tape on the cover over the word "squad"? If so I have no idea how that would effect the grade but I could see it falling because of it.

I'd originally noted this when I was first writing up the post but accidentally deleted it during editing. The bag and board the comic came in was taped closed with a piece of tape which had part of the cover attached to it. The first image of the front cover is the comic outside the bag (sans tape); the last is the comic in the bag with the tape over the appropriate spot on the book. This is all to say: the tape is on the bag, not the book itself.

Hey Everyone,

Longtime comic collector, total newbie here (so if I mess something up, please forgive me).

I picked up this copy of Brave and the Bold #25 at a yard sale today and thought I'd share it here. In addition to what you see on the front and back cover, there's  a smudge on the first page (pictured); and the tear on the back cover carries on in a significantly smaller way on the last couple pages (pictured). But enough chit-chat. Photos:

EDIT: Someone commented below and I realized I hadn't provided a proper explanation for this final image. The book came bagged and boarded, held shut with a piece of tape which had a piece of the cover stuck to it. The front cover image above is how the comic looks on its own; the one below is mostly for novelty, showing how the book looks with the tape appropriately placed over the book (while bagged/boarded). So again: the tape is on the bag, not the book. Sorry for the confusion.
