Specifics:
The book presents in great shape.
I am not a professional grader but in my experience as a collector, the book is high grade example of vintage era Golden Age. (Of course, please see the high Rez scans and pictures and make your own grading assessment before buying).
The cover has some minor wear and creases at the top and bottom binding. There also appears to be slight dirt and stains. To my knowledge this book has never been cleaned or pressed. The corners all appear crisp and sharp and the color seems bright and vivid.
The spine is flat with very few spine ticks and some minor stress at the staples. The staples, themselves, are in great condition with no visible rust.
The interior pages are clean, supple and white with some slight discoloration normal to a comic of this age. The back cover shows a bit of dirt and wear appropriate to a book over 70 years old.
The book itself is tight and flat and presents great!
Don't miss your chance to add this rare high grade comic book history to your collection!
