Set Description:

"1970's - Mid 1980's DC digests why are they scarce in high grade?"
(Portions courtesy of vane0326)

1) Miss-cuts. Only if minor CGC does not count as a negative.

2) Glue drips and stains

3) Torn spines

4) Scrapes, usually on the Front Cover's top left corner

5) Cover indents and creases are common due to the thick stock.

6) Variable paper quality (outer pages may be off-white BUT middle of the book will have White pages)

7) Small pin holes on the covers.

If a DC Digest somehow managed to remain in high grade after the printing/manufacturing and distribution processes, man-handling of what at the time were "less desirable" comics comes into consideration. All these many factors make DC Digests very difficult to find in 9.6 NM+ and near impossible to locate in raw in potential 9.8 NM/M. One might speculate if demand for these Digests was higher they might rank among the most valuable DC books from 1979-1986?

Last issue of the original Adventure Comics :sniff I still recall seeing this issue a small child and wanting it badly but not having enough on me to purchase it. The next week when I got back to the newsstand it was gone. A few years later found one at my LCS in the quarter bins. Thanks to Vane for allowing me to purchase this near non-existent in high grade book.

At time of it cancellation this was the longest running DC title have started it's run in 1935 as "New Comics" then "New Adventure Comics" from #12-#31 and finally "Adventure Comics" from #31-#503.

While DC did issue a one-off Tarzan Digest in 1972, Best of DC #1 from 1979 was actually the book that kicked off their digest program.

Ross Andru's great new cover caused many a child like myself to empty our "piggy banks" for .95 cents. Which back then was a somewhat large amount for a comic book. To put it into perspective, in my hometown at least, you could grab yourself 2 slices of pizza and a drink for the same cost at that time.
