gadzukes Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Cool precode crime comic. Love the skull & snake pit cover & skull splash page. Overall, pretty nice shape for it's age. Cover and CF are super snug at the staples with no tearing. Tiny corner missing from bottom right corner. Horrible staple placement on the comic. Comic could use a press. There is a "hint" of a stain in the upper right corner of a few interior pages including the splash page. The spine is in excellent shape except for one super tiny (chip?). I took a close-up of the chip... it's less than 1/8" wide x 1/4" long....I'm too scared to fiddle with it cuz I think it's just barely holding on. What looks to be a stain on the back cover, is not. It's the natural tanning of the paper (I've seen this in the "white" of many comics of the same era). Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Wow, nice one! Enough small defects that I'd have to guess a strict 5.5, but it looks vastly better. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 5.5 was my thought as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody always thinks they're home free once they're halfway down into the pit, until it dawns on them that they completely forgot about those damned snakes, as Joe so aptly pointed out.

comicginger1789 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I’ll be harsher at 4.5-5.0 but I always am and usually when people share their grades they get back on golden agers, I’m always a half to an whole grade lower.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
