PGM Archie 1

[gadzukes]

The middle 3 wraps are missing but lets "pretend" everything is complete.

What grade do you think it might get is it was complete.

The cover is not attached. There is some color fade and some water staining. Spine has a 3/8" split at bottom and another 3/8" split by Veronica's feet. There are some other minor tears & creases but nothing major.

[Primetime]

2.0 if it were complete. Still cool

[THB]

I agree...2.0 and awesome.

[Ghost Rider]

1.8 IMHO

[steveinthecity]

I'm thinking this falls at 1.8. The writing, fading, spine, and overall wear keep this from being a 2.0 imo. Congrats on finding a copy of this!

2.5

[Spiderphill]

Honestly, no missing pieces and insanely nice eye appeal. 2.0/5

[Moe's Attic]

I agree with the 2.0

[Mutie Fan]

About 2.0 if it were all there.

[Michelangelo]

1.8 to me if complete

[Spiderphill]

I think we are all forgetting the "pretend" part. 2.0/5 allll day

[HighStakesComics]

2.0-Thanks for sharing

Congratulations on that acquisition. I saw the listing and made a mental note to make an offer and then just plumb forgot.

That's the upside

On the downside I don't know why but coverless Archie 1s seem more rare than they should be. First and last chance I had at one was about 20 years ago for 85 bucks and I turned it down.

 

But there must be some out there, somewhere

Usually when I make a "mental note" I never come back to it. When I found this auction I decided to make an offer right then and there, especially when I saw the guy wasn't a comic book dealer. I made what I consider a fairly lowball offer, and the guy went for it.

I'll say a qualified 2.0. Nice eye appeal. Colors look great!

 

Any chance the top and right cover edges have a slight trim? Not sure, but the front cover edges look pretty snug to the interior pages, whereas from the back it looks like the pages are fanned out a bit.

No, no trimming. It's from an original owner. Everything looks good on it in hand.
