PGM Timely: USA Comics #7

[GreatEscape]

How would you grade this book? Small 1/2-inch piece of tape, bottom spine. Cover firmly attached.

 

 

Appreciate your thoughts,

Have a back cover scan?

 

Selling it?

[GreatEscape]

Back cover is clean. Will post scan when I get back on Friday. Grade?

hello all..

dino, is it miscut?...probably still a solid vg/vg+ or so, even with the tape...but just looks "crooked" (maybe it is me?)

Somewhere in the VG range, depending on the back cover.

I'm no expert, but probably not miscut at all...I checked the Gerber photos. This book's "Captain America" and "USA" logos appear to tilt just like the books Gerber shows.

 

Probably consistent in most copies due to low print runs.

hey D...

I didn't mean at the top, but measure the top 1/2 of the book ,then measure and compare to the bottom one half (horizontal)....bottom looks 1/4" smaller (could be the scan)?

Got it! Sorry, I was thinking miswrap. I'll measure when I get back home...

3.5-4.0

[Mr. Zipper]

I would grade it 4.5 presuming the back is consistant with the front. Would be a 5.0 if not for the tape.

 

I'd be shocked if Metro graded it less than 5.5/6.0.

I see what you're saying. I've seen other USAs with the same kind of measurement issues. Check out Metro's copy of USA #10 and you'll see another example.

 

As for a grade on the #7, I'd say it has a shot as a 5.0. Great book!
