PGM Funny Pages Vol.3 #9

[october]

Here is some esoteric golden age for you. Fantastic eye appeal on this one, but here is the kicker. There is a 1.5" spine split that extends from the cover into all the interior pages but the centerfold. Also a 1/2" lower spine split. Cover and centerfold are still firmly attached at the staples.

Nice eye-appeal. Without the spine splits it looks to be a 5.5/6.0 book, but with splits that severe I'd have to say around a 3.0. It would also depend on how delicate the rest of the spine feels - if the slightest mishandling could result in the cover ( or worse -pages) completely seperating then more like a 2.5 at best. I've got a GA book that looks like a 6.0 at first glance - but about 50% of the spine is split at various intervals - so I consider it a 2.0.

 

 

I didn't know the Tarpe Mills did anything besides her Miss Fury strip. I guess that cover pre-dates it.

Man, it has been pretty dead in this forum lately. Anyone else want to venture a grade?

Cool book

 

What's the page quality like?

 

Given that defect, I think a qualified grade would describe the book best, but based on a total of 20+ inches of tearing I'd have to go 2.0, 2.5 at best

CR/OW pages. I try to avoid qualified grades, but I might have to consider it for this one. Without the splitting I would call thisa 5.5, maybe a 6.0 (as rjpb said).

 

It really is a cool book, too bad I am not the owner.

[Scrooge]

Cool book. G+ because of defects. Too bad. Nice to see some Tarpe Mills work.

Agree with 2.0/2.5!

[Comicdey]

that one would fit in nicely with my low to mid grade GGA books. are you looking at purchasing it. I'd send you some nice BA books off your want list.

[Comicdey]

I'd grade it, but then I'd give myself away (Actually I'd say 2.0-2.5 due to major spine splitting through the book.

 

Too bad about the spine splits all the way through. It presents very nice and described accurately will probably sell for more than actual grade if you find the right buyer/trader. Are the pages brittle (ie what caused the spine split to go all the way through.

Providing it isn't brittle,a solid 2.5.As scarce as it would be,it would still command a premium.GOD BLESS...

No, the pages aren't brittle.

The book isn't mine and it definitely isn't for sale.

 

Thanks for the offer, but even if I did own it, the day I trade a Centaur from 1939 for bronze books is the day I check myself into the mental hospital!
