GRADING:
title:
VG+ to near-Fine
GALAXY 1951,May
Tight and almost square (square at top) / flat spine. Very little wear to front & spine - makes an excellent impression. Faint numbers/fraction written at top of front cover next to magazine tltle. Back cover has long vertical fold trace at 1" from left side, 3 small (1/2") scuffed patches with paper scraped off (see scan #2.) Age tanning is less than average for its vintage. Despite the flaws of back cover (which I consider relatively minor) - the rest is in such great shape I have to grade high.
