Jfend72 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Probably the nicest later Silver early Bronze age book I've ever seen up close raw. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH1964 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Totally agree, that is undoubtedly the finest 15/16ths of a book I have ever seen. Book appears to be trimmed top and bottom, however... Oh, wait... the pictures don’t show the top and bottom... never mind. Ok. Just kidding. This looks like an awesome book, but, can you repost with full pictures of both front and back covers? Close-ups of the corners, spine and also a picture that shows the centerfold (to see if staples are loose or detached) would be helpful. 10centcomics, Funnybooks, Danno561 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Yes better pics are needed. Back cover is dirty, so if you are thinking this is a "mint" comic, you will be disappointed. It does appear to have 9.0+ potential though but better pics are needed to confirm that. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfend72 Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 I was thinking with a clean and press maybe a 9.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnybooks Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) 9.4 may be a stretch even after a p&C 19 hours ago, Galen130 said: 9.2 max 9.2 Edited April 23, 2021 by Funnybooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.X Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'm dizzy looking and pieces of this puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.X Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Okay I have some spare time to copy and rotate these pics, but you need full shots of the front and back cover, and list any internal defects. Torn pages, loose or detached centerfold, writing, clipped coupons, nuclear acid emission stains. Okay, here's what I see, and remember, my opinion is worthless. Looks like someone dropped this book on the top and bottom spine. Looks like the paper is mushroomed a bit. Same thing on the bottom. Looks like is was dropped or squeezed in a vice. If it was bumped that may have caused the spine to buckle and cause the two stress lines next to the yellow add box. Top corner you have a bend/fold going on. Edge looks funny about 1" from the edge inward? Bottom corner I assume has a problem also. Bent paper or something. And like someone else said the top and bottom edges look suspicious. Look at the top right above the 15 cents logo box going towards the yellow. Does not look straight to me. Again, above the word THE looks odd. Just my 2 cents. You can carefully slide a backing board or a clean straight edge between the cover and first page, and leave about a half inch sticking up. Compare it to the book edge. Sometimes it sticks out like a sore thumb, but just my own personal way to check things. Edited April 23, 2021 by DR.X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
