I'm listing a beautiful copy of Amazing Stories vol. 3 no. 5 from August 1928. Contains the first appearance of Buck Rogers in any medium in the story "Armageddon 2419 AD" by Philip Nowlan. Also, has part 1 of "The Skylark of Space" by E. E. "Doc" Smith, considered to be the first "space opera."

 

It has gorgeous colors, a bright clean cover, full spine, very nice page quality - supple and ow with slight toning at the edges. There is a light, almost invisible crease in the upper right corner that can only be seen in a raking light, slight corner wear, and a dust shadow on the bottom of the bc. Sadly this otherwise beautiful copy has a flaw that knocks it down (but also makes it affordable) - an ad with a coupon was torn out along the right edge of one of the interior pages (see pic below). It does not effect a story, but does effect the right side of one of the letter columns. Regardless, this is a sweet copy and I promise whoever ends up with it will not be disappointed. SOLD!

 

I will happily entertain PM offers, but :takeit: trumps all.

What can you do about the disappointment of not being able to buy it? (shrug)
