gadzukes Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Please let me know what you think. I'll be sending it in for grading soon. Pretty weird seeing the OJ ad on the back. Edited March 24, 2022 by gadzukes Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 at least a 9.6 BC could use a press..top left corner slight non-color breaking bend. press that corner out and this is a 9.8 candidate grendelbo and gadzukes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 There needs to be a warning on books like this so I'm prepared for the OJ cameo on the back cover. I'm at 9.4 but with a press I could also see it as a 9.8 candidate. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speople Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Not even gonna get a 9.0 This book definitely looks trimmed. It's very rough and uneven along a large part of the outer edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speople Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 It's definitely visible on the back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not trimmed, you're just seeing a little waviness in the paper. This came from an OO collection of which there was no resto in any comic.

speople Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 looks more than waviness imo, look at the back cover in the middle of the outer edge, there's at least a 2-3cm section that seems incredibly rough as if something artificial has been done there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it back out and "in hand" you can tell that it's not trimmed. It's slightly imperfect, but definitely an original trim from the bindery process.

And I actually kind of like it. Oh I love it...and hate it in some ways...but mostly love it. I am intrigued about its history really. Who had it, how did they find it? And also verifying it...like how? Finally, I am intrigued who bought it? Why? Are they a rich investor or a huge comic fan who knows this may be as close as they will get to owning literally a piece of this issue. More intriguing questions than annoyance really about such an item. gadzukes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the Homemade pasted together comic book that this piece originally came from? It's classic "kid being creative" stuff and probably happened in the late 30s/early 40s comicginger1789 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
