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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Mr. Lady Luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
