One more added to the Quality pile:

Great colors/inks on that puppy! I've seen a number of copies where it looks like the inks in the center ran really low on press. (Presumably the press guy waved them through saying "eh, good enough for Quality.")

Yeah, this is one of the better ones I have owned. I also feel like Quality used thinner paper or something because a lot of books I own and have owned have a flakiness on the stapled edge. Probably just not buying high enough grades.

Side note: I have been watching this book on eBay for awhile at an absurd price, but kudos to the seller, I offered GPA and they accepted. An eBay win^^

That era for Quality, like many other publishers, was just awful.  It has taken me decades to find some of the Blackhawks in the 50s in decent shape.  This book, for example, top census is 6.0.

I love that they thought there was absolutely a need for a belt on that ghost-zombie. :D

New arrival. :cloud9:

Very excited about this upgrade to my VG+ raw copy. :)

Weird little (and definitely overlooked) series, which I have most of, including a VG+ copy of #12. Apart from #20, none of my run are above FN+ - you rarely see any of them in high grade.

Fantastic copy, and white pages to boot. :headbang:

As Comcav once told me, these covers would be so much better if they got rid of Woozy!
