Ask Gator 13 13

[Buzzetta]

I figured this would be the place to ask if any. Recently I picked up an All Winner's 11. This weekend I had some time so I figured I would take a trip back to 1943 and read the book.

 

All of a sudden... boom... missing page. (I think)

 

The second innermost wrap, (the one behind the centerfold) seems to be missing the left page. I took pictures to show you the cut out. There was no indication in the listing that there were any missing pages. I like for all of my books to be complete, no matter if it is a story page or an ad page.

 

I have been told that during the war to save paper (issues shrank from 68 pages to 60 pages, then to 56 pages) some pages would have these visible 'tabs' that look like the remnants of a clipped page.

 

So... is this a clipped page or part of the production which was normal for wartime GA Timely's?

 

 

 

[Illustrious]

My All Select #1 has the same thing going on, I believe that's common to some Timely's.

[Primetime]

It is common. I've owned many timelys like that. War time production at its pinnacle.

[G.A.tor]

as others have mentioned, it was paper conservation...as long as page count is correct, you are not missing anything

[Buzzetta]

56 pages then...

 

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Ask Gator:

 

What was the last comic book you purchased at eBay?

[Griff]

Ask Gator:

 

Are you planning on goingto Reno Comicon next year? and do you think we will have any golden age fans/boardies/dealers heading to Reno?

[jaybuck43]

Double question for you G.A.tor. What is your most prized comics related piece/possession? Second question, what was the item in your collection that was the hardest for you to obtain?
