Please Read the Rules before you bid
You are bidding on a beautiful Action Comic: #76 Superman with a classic cover . This Golden Age comic is in about G/VG condition because the art of grading is so subjective, I am providing a rough grade as a courtesy only. The comic is sold as is, in a mylar bag with a cardboard support.
This comic which has vibrant colors, and issued in September 1944 has very nice eye appeal, a nice piece of American and Comic history and a treasure to add to one's collection. The front cover, which is barely attached by the bottom staple has wear along the spine (spine split from top to a little below top staple) area (small tears and piece missing), minor wrinkles, with small tears along the border, border roughage including several old faded creases,and general wear associated with a comic of this grade. Interior pages are off-white. Also, the reverse which has miniscule border and spine roughage is clean for accuracy. The comic has a tight centerfold and no pages or coupons are missing......
Please read the description of the comic and our definition of Grade; if you disagree with the classification ....please do not bid!
We define GOOD as the following:
GOOD
The "Good" category of comics is the broadest category. It's a catch-all category of comics that are complete, but always flawed significantly in one way or another. These comics are primarily for reading.
Tears: Usually lots of small ones. Everything is allowed except the cover being torn completely in half horizontally. Some comics in Good also have small holes that go through the entire book. Spine Stress: Spine can actually be torn up to 1/4" into comic.
Staples: Cover and/or centerfold can be loose. Rust is allowed.
Writing: All writing is allowed except for excessive magic marker or writing on the story pages in such a way as to detract from the story. (This Comic does not have any)
Rubber Stamps: Allowed unless they are excessive in quantity.(This Comic does not have any)
Tape: This is again a tough issue. We allow lots of tape in the Good category as long as it's some sort of cellophane tape. A spine neatly taped with masking tape would even be allowed if the tape had not started to deteriorate.
Pieces Missing: We allow up to a 2" square piece to be missing from the front cover or a 3" square from the back. On the interiors we allow a 1" piece to be missing from a corner. Coupons can be clipped from the back cover, but not from interior pages. On older Marvels in this category, small pieces missing from the edges are usually evident. These are known as "Marvel Chips
Fingerprints: Allowed.
Waterstains: We allow extensive water damage in the Good category. We draw the line at the point where the comic looks like it's been left out in the rain or read in the shower.
Browning: Usually evident. The comic may also be loosing some of its suppleness and trying to get slightly brittle. But it can't actually be flaking.
Folds: Lots of them. Including subscription folds.
Spine Rolls: Allowed.
Off-Center Printing: Allowed.(This Comic does not have any)
Cover Scuffing: Allowed.
Value: Priceless if you are a Super hero fan, especially a Superman fan; good luck on the bidding!
