This hails from a cool, dry, smoke-free, climate-controlled environment. When you admire that classic front cover, it's gorgeous, so you cannot grasp the assigned grade that seems many rungs too low; It delivers a lot of bang for the buck, as the primary detractors are on reverse!  See the various pictures, although most give it a washed-out appearance, while it looks bold and brilliant in person.  A small arrival date in pencil, from January of 1947, is in the bottom of the "E" of the title logo. Crucial issue for any Golden-Age collector or Cole fiend or collector of scarce classic cover comics.
