PGM Tom & Jerry 1 Dell Comics 1958 1 1

[fastballspecial]

This one caught me off guard how nice it is. Very faint fold mark in bottom right minor
wear. Interior pages are pretty nice as well. Back cover is fantastic. This wasn't reprinted
was it? I looked, but didnt see a reprint. Thoughts?

A Dell Giant from 1958. I'd concur with Bo's grade above, and place it in that FN-VF- range. Nice book, Robert.

Looks opened and at least 8.0

7.0/7.5, leaning higher

I'm thinking 7.0 , 7.5/8.0 plausible with quality Clean and Press?  Nice book! Great change of pace from the normal suspects

I'm at 7.5

@stormflora have a look at this beauty!

Seems to me like someone who just read it and then placed it inside of a desk or drawer never to be read again. It happens. Doesn't look like a file copy to me, though. This is the 25c variant, which is better than the 30c one.

But yeah, Very Fine range. At worst, Fine/Very Fine or Fine+. Would benefit from a press. Not sure if it's worthwhile grading, as Tom & Jerry doesn't have insane demand, and Toy Fair itself isn't particularly a key issue.

Thanks for the grades I had it pegged for 7.5/8.0. If I was lucky. Page quality is light tan I think. 

What is stunning to me is the back cover it's fantastic.  I wasn't going to Slab it or what was described above. It's just such a rare day when u see a book 60+ years this nice. My golden age collectors at my next show in March will snatch it up.

 

In this crazy hobby u never known what u are going to find.
