Four Color #386 1952 7.0 or higher CGC it-Uncle Scrooge #1 “Only A Poor Old Man”. Nice golden age Dell issue with a classic cover and features the 1st issue of Uncle Scrooge and is the 2nd cover appearance of Uncle Scrooge. Book features the classic story “Only A Poor Old Man” by Carl Barks which was later reprinted in other Disney comics. This issue is an investment quality book and is a solid bet that it will increase steadily year after year. Please base your own grade using the multiple pictures that I posted, description of flaws, and the brief Overstreet description for each grade below. Book has a yellowed interior cover and off-white/yellowed. Book is complete and has tight staples, a tight center page, and a firmly attached cover. This book is a highly collectible Golden Age issue that will continue to increase year after year in the price guide and will continue to increase in desirability! Note-You may notice that on certain books, I try to take photographs with and without the camera flash to try and capture the gloss if the book has a glossy surface. That is the reason that certain images will have a difference of appearance and may show a light spot from the camera flash-Which is NOT a loss of color on the book itself. Also, please check out my other auctions currently going on by clicking on “See Other Items” at top. This collection is comprised of books from the 1940s to the late 1970s (mostly silver age).
