PGM Strange Tales 162 4 4

[Crose87420]

Strange Tales #162 Off-white pages interior, back side looks a little darker (see scan). The only thing I think that does not show up on the scan is that the back cover has some circular spots, staining/discoloration? that is faint enough that the scans miss it even when I enlarge the pic. Lemme know what you all think!

Oh, EDIT for the crummy staple job.

Thanks - C

Thanks for posting.

My guess is those spots might be foxing.  Can you take a photo and post it?

Is that a CBC? If so probably knocks it down to a 6.0 depending on how big.

Appears to be a red arrow to me

Okay answers to the two questions...

Is that corner line a CBC?

Does that stand for corner breaking crease? noob here. The line appears to be just a line, there is no crease or indentation suggesting how the white line got there.

As for the stains and a pic, here it is...

[Galen130]

Definitely a stain, not foxing.  A C&P might help a bit…7.5 after.
