Generous Grade?

I'd be happy to own this book, but I wouldn't call it a 6.5

 

Suspense 3

Ditto. Looks more like a 5.0 to me. Wonder what it will end up going for. A slabbed 4.5 went for 11k last year.

maybe the missing pieces on the cover are "mere" "manufacturing" defects caused by using paper that doesn't hold up well over the course of 60 years?

 

i have a lot of old books that have such manufacturing defects.

 

more like a 4.0 by the usual generous GA cgc standards

 

if that's a 6.5 i want a resubmit on some of my beat to heck books

Crazy money - It may well be Schomburg's best cover, but it has no historical importance, and for a comic that's supposed to be so damn rare - there always seems to be a copy for sale somewhere - though that's what crazy prices will do for books. I'm sure if mid-grade copies of other HTF books like Exciting #28 started selling for four to five figures - there would suddenly be alot more available.

I dunno about "no historical import"....dated 1944 and does have the swastika on the cover, and is certainly demonizing (rightfully, natch) the symbol....
