Don't be so modest...Looks like you're well on your way to completing the Action run...:baiting:

And I have one of those too...it would also be a 7.5 if not for a few minor defects...:cry:  and, what is the deal with Indians trying to kill Superman every 50 issues or so...?

Look at how he mocks them. That condescending look of his was enough to cause mistrust, anger, and retribution in any marginalized cultural group.

So, this is interesting.  This is the Mile High Gang busters #3 that I owned in the early 90s.  I don't know who owns it now, but it has steadily sold for less money on Heritage every time it was auctioned.  Go look at the scan they have for this book.  Somehow the bright blue background turned into puke green.  No wonder it sold for less each time.  BTW, I sold it in 1995 or 96 for $450.  I guess I made the right choice...although I do miss the book.  It was perfect...I have no idea why CGC graded it only an 8.0...and BTW, this is just a scan of a trimmed photocopy I made in the 90s...

$450 for that book in 1996 was a heck of a lot of dough. Looks like it last sold publicly back in 2004 for $247.25. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/gang-busters-3-mile-high-pedigree-dc-1948-cgc-vf-80-off-white-pages-what-a-cool-cover-with-giant-handcuffs-they-just/a/14022-17251.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515

Not to mention the cultural appropriation of wearing the headdress.
