docdoowop Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 In my first thread ever, introducing myself and my little comic, some members felt my own grading was off and to post the book here. so.... would appreciate it. Front cover centerfold Migrating rust at top staple Strangely, most of the rust is visible from the outside. Defects Creases galore And major chipping on edge of front and back covers and one piece of tape on back cover to fix a tear: that was there when my mother bought the book in a bargain bin at a toy store in 1968. Another piece of tape on the last page. That was done by me in 1968 when I thought it needed it. Tape was a popular, common repair tool for kids back then doodling on last page done by me way back then examples of the heavy water damage the book suffered 20 years ago when my hot water tank blew and flooded the basement. The book, in raw form, got totally soaked. I salvaged it but not without brownish stains on the pages. what do you guys think? Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 i think if graded CGC might just give it a major key bump to a 1.5,... but just as likely would grade it a 1.0 50/50 nebyort and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
