Not a ToS 39 as much as a PoS 39. Both covers completely detached, paper so brittle it rains little shreds whenever touched.

 

I "won" this on Ebay for $1,600. Took a while but I got my money back.

Arrived in bunched up saran wrap inside a manilla envelope.

Funny, the image on Ebay looked a lot nicer...

 

Original description:

YOU ARE BIDDING ON TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 IN VF CONDITION. THIS IS

THE ORIGINAL AND NOT A REPRINT. THE PAGES ARE CREAM TO OFF WHITE.

FLAWS ARE SPINE WEAR, LIGHT RUBBING ON THE TOP LEFT FRONT COVER.

SMALL CHIP OUT BOTTOM RIGHT COVER. TINY TEAR ON TOP FRONT COVER AND

TINY TEAR ON RIGHT SIDE FRONT COVER.

 

Whoa, I read this and then had to scroll back up to see if it was RockMyAmadeus posting this! He's got an affinity for ebay deals gone bad...

Okay, changed my mind. Beau, you win! :baiting:

I dunno. This one looks like it might be uglier.

The one on top is ugly (I've seen MUCH WORSE of that issue in person :P ) but the one on the bottom is just SAD! :cry:

To be honest that CAP looks like a variant that marvel would put out today! (it's not too bad, it's certainly one of a kind)
Not too bad? This book book doesnt belong in this thread, that book is badazz
