PGM All Famous Crime 10 1 1

The top left corner and the piece missing are the biggest flaws...thanks for all opinions!

Also, the one photo shows a page with an upside down panel. Is this an error on most copies or do I have something uniquely wrong

[comicginger1789]

According to someone with two other copies the upside panel appears in theirs as well so must be a mass production error.

Brittle pages?

No would say cream to tan. It’s really just that corner that seems real crispy. I can turn the pages easy and like flick my  fingers along the edges and I’m not worried about pieces tearing or ripping off.

I'm pretty sure if any part of a book is brittle then it will receive a slightly brittle designation.   The missing cover piece and the top spine split that splits the cover and pages gives me concern.  Regardless I would grade this 4.0 - 4.5.

I would say the cover is brittle along edges only. Here is an interior pic

Yeah, it would get a SB designation from CGC at minimum due to that upper spine issue, which in turn impacts the grade, though it's never been clear to me by how much. There also appears to be some brittleness to the cover, though CGC tends to ignore that as a defect beyond accounting for any chipping as a result. 

I'd probably call it a 2.5 if it were mine.

2.5/3.0 range. Looks like that panel is intentionally upside-down because it's a 'reveal the ending' panel.

Was that a thing back then?

Yeah, it was a thing.

CGC 3.0 brittle pages

[theCapraAegagrus]

3.0 IMO.

[Deadpoolica]

3.5

[comicginger1789]

I am tempted to grade it...what with predictions being everywhere from 2.5-4.0.
