Waddaya make of it? Thanks in advance!

Geez!

 

8.0. 8.5 with a bump?

[Readcomix]

Thanks, I was thinking maybe that high. Dealer Called it F/VF. The only real flaws are the three things you see spine-side on the back cover, the spine-side corners on the front, and the two color abrasions on the front -- bottom center in the red, and to the left of Beetle's head where you see some color rubbed off, but it doesn't have the veiny creases of a spine break there.

7.0 seems about right given the ding at the bottom of the spine, but it looks like it would press higher.

Thanks guys! 7-8 range without a press ain't too shabby. I'm leaning lower end too, but good to see that 8-ish doesn't seem crazy far away either.

8.0. The corner blunting confuses me a bit on grading. I've got books with slightly worse blunting then that and they landed in the 9s.

 

Sooo… I say 8.0

I think a 7.0 without a press and an 8.0 with a press. The creases on the back look like they're fixable and the color breaking crease on the lower FC being the one To count in grade. Awesome book! PQ on this book looks incredible. White pages all day long.

Thanks all of you! Really helps!

 

I gave three books to get it; all lower grade than this by far, but Boy Commandos 7 VG-ish, Vic Verity 1 maybe vg/f with a slight tear at top left of cover, and a lower grade Shadow v8 #9 (Bob Powell skull cover). I maybe overpaid but it's tough to leave high-grade GA on the table, obviously.

I'll go a 8.0.

 

Very nice book thanks for sharing.
