the missing corner sets the ceiling and at that size, I'd say 4.0. Given the rest of the book, I'd not expect huge additional deductions, so 3.5
Thanks for pointing out the missing corner. I was so focused on getting a good scan, I missed the missing corner. Ha.
Many of these comics I am submitting to PGM haven't seen the light of day since the 60s. Unfortunately most were well read, placed in the back pocket of jeans and taken to friend's houses.
Thanks for the grade.

Happy to share - the "top loaders" are reusable protection (nothing as permanent nor as secure as slabs, to be clear) made of heavy plastic, and you slide your comic (including the bag/board) into the top, and it affords some extra protection.
Here's a pic (one empty, the other with the GR reprint of JIM 83):
Try searching for "comic book toploader," that should find what's available; I've never bought them, just received them on occasion with my purchases.
Looks great! Thanks for the photo and I'll check them out.

3.0/3.5 Tears in the TLFC and BCBC & just too many color breaking creases and spine stress to get into the solid VG range. I think more 3 than 3.5
So I am new to and learning these acronyms. How'd I do?
TLFC = Top Left Front Cover?
BCBC = Back Cover Bottom Center?

^ since point is probably to predict what cgc might give it, I'd agree w/what grendelbo and 50's war comics said: that good chance it ends inside a 3.0 case. So ignore the G/G+ guesstimate.
Will do. Thanks for the follow up!

although rough it would still likely be a CGC 3.0 !
Thanks for grading!

2.0, maybe 2.5.
I'd suggest just getting a 'top loader' rather than entombing it. Easier, much cheaper, stays in your hands w/no chance it gets lost or damaged further, etc.
Thank you for grading. As you can probaly tell, I am new at this so please bear with me. What is a "top loader" and where does one purchase one? From CGC? Sounds like a interesting option.Thanks!

Thank you for your comments and grade.
I am really new at this so please bear with me.
Regarding your comment about CGC adding a note to the label, is this something they would normally do if requested?
And what makes a comic a pedigree? is it age of comic, length of ownership of comic or something else? I have a few other comics from my brother's collection from the 1950s. I am wondering if they also would be considered pedigree. Thanks!

Nice book - I'm going 5.5 or 6.0. Best of Luck!
Thanks!

2.0 - 2.5. It would look wonderful in a CGC case on a shelf honoring your brother.
Thanks. I was thinking the same.
He also has Our Army at War #86, but he drew a blue mustache on the tank commander, and added some blue color to the bullet debris. Why? I have no idea. Ha!

Probably my favorite comic subject as a kid were the war comics. ACG, Charlton, DC, Dell, etc. Heavy influenced by my older brother Chris, he had a slew of DC war comics that over the years have been lost to the ages, with the exception of this one and a few others.
I may submit this one to CGC simply because of its memory of my late brother.
Thanks in advance for your comments and grades.

Hi, First of three postings for today.
Focus is on DC, the majority of my comics. I purchased nearly all of my comics off a rotating rack in the back of a Woolworth's 5&10 in a suburb of Boston. Unfortuantely they didn't carry many Marvel titles. I'm thinking that in the 60's, maybe retail distribution of DC and Marvel was based on a geographic subscription rate. Or maybe Woolworth couldn't afford a second rack.
As always appreciate your grades, comments and thoughts!

Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. If it's a stain, a cleaning might actually "remove" it and help improve your overall grade a little. But if it's glue, well...
And, in addition to the excessive amount of color-breaking spine creases, as well as that spine roll, it looks like there's also some chips out of the open side of the front cover; and possibly the same on the bottom of some of your pages (although they may just actually be creases/bends). Regardless, I, personally, would absolutely have CCS do a press on it.
My humble guess would be 3.5-4.0.
But, I agree with Beige. This is a classic cover, and will still look FAR better in some CGC acrylic than it does right now

on your submittal!

Thank you for taking your time to evaluate and provide comments.
This issue was well read in its day and it shows in it's appearance. I was a huge ST fan when the show first came out in 1966. So this comic is important to me.
I'm hoping that the stain isn't glue. And I was pretty careful separating comic reading from model building activities. But if it is, it is what it is.
Thanks again! Jp
