Star Wars 107  

Last issue of the original  series, and this copy is  a  beauty. 

After  a long  well  lit  inspection  I  can  only   see  three  flaws.

There is a scrape  just below the  upper LH  box,  that's not  a  bend, appears to be a printing error.   I  have  a  couple
other copies,  and  one of them  has  the  same  flaw,  same  size,   exact  same  spot. Further  down  I  see  two  miniscule
color  breaks  along  the  spine.  There  is  a small  indent in the  BC,  something  I  believe  would  press  right out. 

I  don't  generally   give  a   number  grade  but  I'm going out on a limb  and  calling this  one a  9.4 with a shot  at a  9.6.

Tight,   glossy,   white  pages. 

I wouldn't mind if it didn't  sell,   it's off  to  Basement  Comics  for  a  press,   then off  for  a slab. 

Asking  $125 FIRM

Here's  a  double up of  the  area in  question.

First  just  below the letter  box, 
Second  opposite  C3PO's  shoulder
Third  just above  opposite of  C3PO's  wrist.   

I  can't  make out  any of them   even in the blow up,  but  they're  there.

Teen-Age  Romance 80

Grand Comics  Database  says  there  might  be  some  Matt Baker  art in  this  cover?
Honestly,  to  my   eye  it looks  like  Coletta  all  the  way,  but  I  know there  are  MB  fans  out  there, 
does  anyone   have  any  definitive  answer?

Regardless,   it's  a  late  number issue,  with a bit of  spine  roll,  small piece out of  BC  at  lower  staple,  and  cover is 
loose  at  lower staple  to  boot.

Grab an above  average  reader  for  $12
