Take a hint - there's a reason you keep getting the same response over, and over, and over again. Posting the same question in a different thread isn't going to change the response of anyone with any sense. Your book is appropriately graded. The brittle pages mean you'd be a selfish fool to resubmit a book of such importance for re-grading (as CGC and everyone who responded to your other post has already told you). Be happy with your book, or sell it and try and get a higher graded copy. gadzukes and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an Archie 2 - 1.0 (with brittle pages) because I needed a CF. I was hoping that since the CF is in the center that maybe it was not brittle. When I cracked it out, to my surprise the entire comic was very supple except for the extreme edge of a couple pages. I was shocked that they gave it the brittle designation. You should probably just leave it alone, but.... If you're really curious...... You can crack it out and check the pages yourself. Just remember...... handling a Brittle comic will usually lead to flaking and more destruction. But it's your comic so you can do anything you want.

gadzukes Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 I've had this as a raw forever. (unfortunately the cover was glued to the interior). I knew it would get a purple label, but I'm ok with that. Badger, archiecomicscollector and Point Five 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my book which I bought raw from Dale Roberts about 10 years ago. He had it as a poor/fair. I gingerly paged through the book with no problem. It's not flaking, the pages are just on the brown side. If you fold a corner, it may snap off but I was never daring enough to attempt such a thing and why should I? I submitted it to CGC and they gave it the 1.0. That said, here's the book when it was sold on Heritage in 2004: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/archie-1-archie-1942-condition-pr-fr-bad-news-first-the-pages-are-very-brittle-and-the-cover-is-soiled-and-now-the/a/14102-17069.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 I've been narrowing down my focus on Archies and this is what I've decided are my keepers which are also my favorite covers Badger, Point Five, Treco and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameri Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Thanks, those Peps took forever to find. The 43 was the last that straggled in. I was making due with this Super Comics for years before a US 43 showed up. I am working on getting some later Archies now.
