The Funnies Annual #1

[Zanarkand]

Questions for those more knowledgeable of rarities than I:

 

1) Just how "rare" is this thing? This auction claims it to be a Gerber 8, but even I, who am by no means a high dollar rarities collector, have one in reasonably decent shape. It wasn't even that expensive.

 

2) Check out the second pic, where it appears that a bunch of page corners have been sheared off in the lower left there. My copy has the exact same thing! I thought it was some kind of defect, but might it have been part of the binding process?

 

I have loads of hardback novels, for example, that have the pages trimmed unevenly on purpose, I suppose to make page turning easier. Same idea? Anyone else have one of these for comparison?

 

3) This book is no bigger than a magazine, height & width-wise, though it is pretty thick. Can CGC slab them? There don't seem to be any in the census.

This squarebound may be scarce but I would not say rare, as I have seen a copy for sale in BC, Canada a few years ago. Slow seller due to lack of active demand.
