This Ken maynard number 1 is in pretty nice condition..just wondering if these westerns would be worh slabing..

Unless I missed something, it looks like maybe and 8.0-8.5. Maybe a 9.0 with a press. High grade for an old book.

looks in really good shape to me.  What's that on the bottom of the red 'K'?

Front ULC has some wear,maybe some small creases on spine or maybe the light on white is playing tricks on my eyes

9.2 with a press (or better if I had it in hand to inspect)

I just noticed that- Maybe a stain?

The red k has a circle with a c in side

well my guess of a grade would be if that was there by design.  a quick google search shows others with that same mark. I'm also thinking books that old in good shape are given a little slack

I could easily be wrong, but, for the OP, I hope I'm right

thanks for the closeup.  It does, though, make the spine look dirtier than what I saw on initial front pic

1950 western comic... i never heard of ken maynard till i got this book..roy rogers yeah..tom mix , lone ranger ..lol not this guy..he must not have been a hit...but its definitely one of my better condition books

8.5 with the spine ticks and roll, I leave others to advise on slabbing. 

[1950's war comics]

looks unread ,,, but i doubt its worth slabbing
