BB-Gun Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just got this from an US seller , printed in the US 1953 and then distributed in Mexico , those two copies remained in the US so they are in great shape thanks to the bag and board culture and because of the fact that they probably remained in a basement I like Harvey horror comics as much as EC and slightly more than Timely.

D84 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 This showed up in the mail today. Since my scanner doesn't do slabbed books very well (they come out blurry), I'm sharing the picture from the eBay auction. I might pay for the grader notes, because this is the nicest looking 5.0 I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) This showed up in the mail today. Since my scanner doesn't do slabbed books very well (they come out blurry), I'm sharing the picture from the eBay auction. I might pay for the grader notes, because this is the nicest looking 5.0 I've seen. Back cover equally nice? If so, there may be a problem somewhere inside. Scaner tip: Just about all current scanners use a technology that results in blurry images of slabs. There are a number of older scanners -- often available cheap on eBay -- that do a better job. There is a thread in Comics General on legal-size scanners that has a list of these older scanners. Edited to add: And it's a really nice book!

D84 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Here's the back cover from the eBay pictures. The only thing I can tell about the back cover is the top staple has rust migration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Here's the back cover from the eBay pictures. The only thing I can tell about the back cover is the top staple has rust migration. Certainly possible that brought the grade down some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D84 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Even with that, it's still a gorgeous copy, and this is a grail book of mine, so it's a great pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might pay for the grader notes, because this is the nicest looking 5.0 I've seen. Looks like one of Phyllis's books, although someone did a poor job of erasing her name. Lots of Phyllis books on the market in the last year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D84 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yes, it looks like the name Phyllis something is partially erase on the cover. Can't make out the last name. Do you know it? I'd love to keep that for my records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Ries Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Nice score! I bought an 8.0 CGC ow/w in 2000. Still have it. This is sort of the last "mysterious" Batman cover for decades. The prices really haven't moved that much in all this time and there are virtually no higher grade examples for sale anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
