The comic may be torn, missing pieces or pages, may be water damaged, or just really really old. But in any case, WE HAVE PUT THE DAMAGED COMIC IN NEW PLASTIC AND MAYBE ADDED A BACKER BOARD TO TRY AND PROTECT IT FROM ANY DAMAGE IN THE FUTURE. The comic is included in the auction simply because we feel it to be of some value, either as a low cost filler for someones collection or because the comic is rare and hard to find at any grade.)
