PGM: Target Comics #65

[Soft-Serve]

This is definitely the nicest GA book in my collection, might be the nicest any-era book in my collection. I know GA usually gets a bump at the CGC, so what would this book grade as?

 

It's as glossy and crisp as the day it was printed in 1945. No rust, off-white-white pages, and the interior covers are bright, bright white. The only problems include a tiny bump llhc and maybe two spine ticks at the top of the staples. My wife tried to convince me it was a modern-reprint....

Anybody have a good guess for this one? I know it's going to be high grade, just curious how high people think it might be....

I'll guess 9.0 due to the staple stresses and the red looking dust shadow. It's its rust from another book or something maybe a VF+?

I don't see any rust staining anywhere. You know, I'm not a 100% that is a dust shadow on the top cover (through title) or spine. If you look at the yellow/red.black in the title as well as the blacks of the leaves near the spine you'll notice no fading at all. Only the blue and green seem to change color. I think it must be a printing error. Can anyone confirm this?

Yeah, that's way too uniform to be sun damage, plus the red is consistent throughout and it's always the first to go.

Yes, this must be a printing error of one type or another as opposed to sun damage since there is no fading with respect to the red and yellow colors.

 

FWIW: The deep blue color on my copy goes right to the top of the cover.

I think the light blue triangle makes the composition better...thought it was intentional till I looked up the book....

8.0/8.5

I'm in the 9.2++ camp. Incredibly well preserved for a GA book.

[HighStakesComics]

Yep. 9.4. Real nice.
