PGM Daredevil #1 CT CORNER 0

[Hawaii Jay]

Hello, first post.

Finally got my grail book. Purchased with full knowledge after initial examination and discovery of top left 2 small green dots..very old marker CT. As you can see , the typical bleed..but is only limited to that. As for the light text paper in the same area...looks like after many years of storage flat, a flake of the splash page is stuck on the back cover, but no damage to the splash page, as if a micro layer decided to stay.

Sending it off knowing it will get a purple label because I want it encapsulated, this book will stay with me for good. Other than that CT, the cover and rest of the book look great. Wish all those years ago they left the CT alone, but it is what it is. Any guess for a grade? I am hoping for 7.0, but happy with anything knowing the book it still a great and pure-ish to me..lol

The inside picture looks a little odd.  Is that a tear?  Is the green ink bleeding through to outside?

Nice book.  Congrats on the get!

Great score. I'd agree with your assessment and go with a 7.0 - 7.5.

I think there's more than just CT resto going on with this book.

just above the CT on the splash page... looks like another page was ripped and a small piece was left over.

overall (aside from the CT and what looks like a tear), it's a nice SA key. congrats

I'd say a 6.5

Jay, welcome. Did you end up getting the DD #1 graded? Still waiting?

I'm going to guess 7.0 is a stretch with the internal cracking on the splash page. It also looks like the upper right cover has something going on... either a stain or a light crease, not sure.

Finally, hate to say it but knowing the book has resto I'd have some concern about possible trimming to the cover's overhang edges. Can't say for sure but the open edge corners seem awfully square.
