This is a nice specimen of the No. 1 issue of the Western Roundup comic from 1952. I'd judge condition to be F/VF. Please see the scanned images. The cover is graced by the portraits of five of the most popular cowboys of the time: Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Johnny Mack Brown, Bill Elliott and Rex Allen. Autry and Allen have signed the front cover. Issue no. 1 is not too plentiful in this condition, and it has two autographs to boot. This comic will be shipped USPS Ground Advantage, and a tracking number will be provided. Shipping charges will be adjusted if multiple similar items are purchased at one time. If the purchaser of this item is for any reason dissatisfied with the purchase a full refund will be made upon return of the item. PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING . I am in the process of selling many items from various collections acquired over a 50-year period. The collections include sports cards, autographs, photos, western (cowboy) stars' photos & autographs, comic books (westerns mainly) and other classes of items. Some items are scarce, with some others likely being one of a kind. Sports items are centered on the Red Sox (particularly Ted Williams) and Boston Celtics (particularly the 1956-57 Celtics team through the early 1960's teams). I have purchased on EBAY for several years and sold for nearly two years. I've had 100% approval ratings for over 800 transactions. When purchasing, I have been treated very well by EBAY sellers. Now that I am selling, I strive to treat my buyers in the same fashion. For some auction items I will give my opinion as to condition. Realizing that my amateur assessment as to condition might differ from that of the bidder/buyer, I encourage all bidders to look the photos and descriptions over closely. Ask questions if you need additional information on an item. I will be limiting shipments to the 50 U.S states. This policy helps keep transactions as simple as possible on my end.
