Show us your beater Holy Grail !

[*paull*]

Let's see what you have... forget CGC, forget high, mid and low grade! This is "beater grade" time! What have you? Detached cover? Stains? Rips?

 

Let's see your Holy Grail in beater condition, a book that you couldn't afford in higher grade, but are thrilled as hell to have, and you don't plan on upgrading...

[1st-and-keys]

Here's a book I'm thrilled to have. Not necessarily a grail book but just something I came across at a cheap price. Probably the worst condition book in my collection. It has tape along the spine, loose centerfold and one page missing but hey it's a gerber 7.

I already posted this in the Cigar thread, but I'm thrilled to have this one. I have already looked into getting it restored though.

Forget restoring that suspense # 3 just sell it to me

[Rip]

Here's a couple.

The Teen-age Romances was a super tough book for me. I've only seen 1 copy on E-bay in 6 years. Love that cover

Not a comic, but the first Spider from 1933

Here's my Spider

Cover detached...centerfold detached... 3 dime-sized chips out at spine...who cares!?!?

 

[PovertyRow]

I've shown this a few times but never under a more appropriate cataegory. No plans to upgrade. Love it just the way it is!

You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands...

 

 

[Harvey Dude]

Picked this up fifteen to twenty years ago. First appearance of Aquaman and Green Arrow.

I guess there is no harm in posting two beaters that will remain with me.

Holy Cow, that is the coolest cover I've ever seen!!!

 

It is now my mission in life to own that comic...

[HouseofComics.Com]

That's a hard one to find! Katy Keene is one of our specialties and getting any copies of 10-18 are very tough. 12 and 17 are the toughest.

 

Fun for me to see. Thanks for posting it!

That's pretty much how I felt when I first saw it too. But I never thought I'd actually get one, in any shape.

[Mephisto]

The cover is great because it's very Indiana Jonesish. Just give the guy a Fedora and a replace the spear with a whip and it is him.

[Forbush-Man]

Not a "Grail", but certainly a "Better".

 

 

fair/good with tape along the spine.

Here's my Spider

 

 

Great Spider cover - probably the goriest one I've seen.

Must..buy...more ...pulps!
