G-I In Battle #5 (Farrell; Feb 1953).  Grade = 3.5 VG- white.  Price = $380.
Iger Studio.  A very clean/fresh copy.  Color-breaking creases/stress at corners and along edges.  Faint subscription-type crease.  The most highly prized of Farrell's various pre-code war issues -- a CGC 7.5 white copy sold for $2500 at auction in 2020.  Ranked #3 on Heritage's 2019 list of "Best 1950s War Covers".
