PGM: Action Comics #20

[Dark Knight]

Unfortunate about the 3-ring holes on the book. Other than that, the book presents very well and the colors just "pop." Wanted to mention also that there is a 1.5" spine split both top and bottom. Thanks!

Same as your spine split, 1.5

or a qualified 2.5/3.0

Qualified 3.5 IMHO!

To tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea how to grade this book. So, I agree with all the above,.... and below.

 

It is a shame about the ring holes cause that's a nice looking book. I love the Action pre '45 covers the best.

 

Didn't Heritage recently auction the OA to this cover?

Qualified 5.0/ 5.5 easy for me. Classic Superman cover.

 

Love the cover and totally dig your copy. Got 4 copies myself

[The_Captain]

or a qualified 2.5/3.0

 

This would not be a 2.5/ 3.0 without the ring holes

If you look into the link below and review category 6 there is a brief discussion on the hole punched books along with examples. Usually original artists, inkers or authors and sometimes publishers kept file copies in binders and hence the three (sometimes 2) hole punches. These books make for interesting history if you can research the background (ie who was the original owner of the book and what was his/her involvement, if any with this book or the publisher?

Qualified 3.5 IMHO!

 

That's what I'm thinking, the spine split keeping the otherwise grade below 4.0. Something like hole punches are best explained in qualified grade, rather than "universal" grade.

Qualified 4.0

Looks like grades are all over the place so far. Seems that I need to get this book graded and see what it gets.
