marvelmaniac Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Nice Book!!! I love seeing obscure cartoon books from the Golden Age not related to super heroes, I grew up watching Mighty Mouse in the early/mid 60's. Issue 3 of 4, published quarterly with issue 3 being published in March 1947 by Marvel/Timely, MCS (not a consignment book) is selling a copy of issue 2 in GD 2.0 for $145.00. Rounded corners with color breaking creases and small pieces missing, small tears/color loss along edges, long tear along "Mighty's left leg, writing on cover in three spots that protrudes to the inside cover, moderate spine stress with color breaking stress lines and spine tears, moderate to severe spine roll, moderate staining/discoloration and color loss on front cover, long crease through the coupon on rear cover, moderate staining/discoloration of rear cover. IMO...GD 2.0 to GD+ 2.5 3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG): Back to Top A used comic book showing some substantial wear. Cover shows significant wear, and may be loose or even detached at one staple. Cover reflectivity is very low. Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples. Corners may be blunted or even rounded. Discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor to moderate soiling is allowed. A triangle from 1/4" to 1/2" can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" to 1/4" square is also acceptable. Tape and other amateur repair may be present. Moderate spine roll likely. May have a spine split of anywhere from 1" to 1-1/2". Staples may be rusted or replaced. Minor to moderate staple tears and moderate stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present. 2.5 GOOD+ (GD+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Good but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 2.0 GOOD (GD): Back to Top Shows substantial wear; often considered a "reading copy." Cover shows significant wear and may even be detached. Cover reflectivity is low and in some cases completely absent. Book-length creases and dimples may be present. Rounded corners are more common. Moderate soiling, staining, discoloration and foxing may be present. The largest piece allowed missing from the front or back cover is usually a 1/2" triangle or a 1/4" square, although some Silver Age books such as 1960s Marvels have had the price corner box clipped from the top left front cover and may be considered Good if they would otherwise have graded higher. Tape and other forms of amateur repair are common in Silver Age and older books. Spine roll is likely. May have up to a 2" spine split. Staples may be degraded, replaced or missing. Moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached. Moderate interior tears may be present.
