Golden Age Crime Comics - THREAD CLOSED

[EC ed]

Well in that case, I'll take the C&P 16.

 

 

Thanks, Steve!

 

...and thanks for the assist on the sale, Tsp99 ....right you are indeed. Didn't notice that "SDD" on the cover until just now! (neither did mycomicshop, when I bought it from them 4 years ago )

[EC ed]

Well, I surprised myself and got some books scanned, etc., this morning...so, I'm going to go ahead and keep the thread progress going...tonight is a batch of EC crime undercopies

[EC ed]

Crime Patrol #8, VG 4.0 (Apparent), $100

 

three-quarter-inch horiz. tear leading edge fc with a triangular chip; chip lower spine corner; full book-length vertical bend/crease that breaks color in spots (runs down through the “C” and “A”);

 

I bought this from a dealer as unrestored, but I’m thinking that I see a 1-¾” horiz tear on the leading edge fc that has been sealed...see pic below (and perhaps another half-inch one on the top edge fc)…looks like a pro job, because they’re very hard to see…of course, I’m no pro myself, so I could be wrong…but, I’m selling it as such; fantastic page quality, and presents great (which is why I didn't return it...taking the $$ hit for that choice now )

 

 

Here's a close-up of this suspected sealed tear:

 

 

...and from the front side (doesn't show much)...its just above the grille of that car

 

 

another splash page shot...you can see that tear/chip I mention at my index finger:
