One of the links on the sales page lead to an interview with the comic dealer. He said the original buyer way back in the 1930's purchased the comic and put it away in a wood trunk (for whatever reason). He lived up in them thar mountains,it was a combination of altitude and ideal storage conditions that lead to this one being in such perfect condition after all these years.
Most comic books got passed around from child to child and were tatty. A lot would have gone in the recycle era of the war years.
l'd love to know who found this copy in the trunk many years later. Family or estate dealer.
Edited to add: This copy was pick up only. No delivery, no paypal payments.
They offered a safe secure site for the hand over......
