The bottom left corner has just a touch to it.

It's not a hard bang.

There is a very slight color loss on that corner, but not as bad as the scan made it look.

 

The white on the top right corner was the tip folded over in the mylar.

I have since flipped it back over, and there is a line of color loss where it was bent.

But it is just the tip.

It's junk, don't let it touch any of your other comics. You'd be best off just to mail it to me, it's the only way to be safe! stooges.gif

 

But if you decide to risk keeping it, just to make you feel better I'll say it's around 8.5.

Did you buy it because you thought that was a WWII version of Ghost Rider?

 

Didn't see that--the BLC does look discolored...

No color touch. Touch of wear.

That is a great cover. Going by the large scan of the front cover, the book should grade at the very least 8.5, but IMO it looks closer to a VF/NM.

Another defect to note.

Look in the center of the memo.

There is a light abrasion in the "D" of "Days".

 

That seems to be it for problems.

Very flat with no nut sacks.

If the abrasion is not production related, then I say 8.0 to 8.5 but not 9.0. Color missing from part of the cover gets downgraded pretty heavily.

7.0

He's rough and he's tough - but a straight shooter. smile.gifhi.gif I'd come down to a 7.5 to 8.0, after the color loss / smudge in the memo was pointed out - I missed that!

You guys are tough on my book.

I guess it's not good enough for my collection.
