LITTLE GROUCHO THE RED-HEADED TORNADO, #1, 1955, Reston Publishing Co. ...

Note: I am selling many CLASSIC GOLDEN-AGE comics this week, most starting at 99 CENTS. Auctions end Sunday night, November 8. Please see my other listings -- you might find something else you like.

ABOUT THIS COMIC: This is a short-lived comic from the Reston publishers. The cover is a play on the science-fiction / rayguns craze of the time, played against a Tom Sawyer scenario. Groucho didn't seem to be very good at making friends. (Later issues shortened the title to simply "Grouchy.")

CONDITION/GRADE: I judge this comic to be in POOR/FAIR condition based on Overstreet guidelines. Some aspects of grading can be subjective, so please make your own determination by reading the following and examining the photos below.

POSITIVES: ORIGINAL COMIC. Good as a reader. 
NEGATIVES: Cover detached, NO BACK COVER. Inside pages good for reading purposes, and attached to both staples. Other general wear associated with this grade. (Yes, this is a very low-grade copy, BUT: If you win this along with one of my other items, you will not be charged extra for shipping).

I have described the comic to the best of my ability. I always try to page completely through each comic and list all relevant flaws. I am happy to provide more details, so please feel free to ask questions if you have additional concerns about condition.

COMIC VALUE:  A recent Overstreet guidebook values this comic at $8 in GD and $16 in VG condition.

(PLEASE CONSIDER BIDDING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS, AS I WILL COMBINE CHARGES TO GIVE BUYERS THE BEST POSSIBLE DEAL ON SHIPPING.)



      • Shipping policy: I try to charge a fair rate based on materials and average cost for an item's size/weight. I WILL GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS. Shipping costs/methods are negotiable based on your preferences. Please allow a few days lead time, since I can only get to the post office once or twice a week. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS are welcome, but keep in mind that like many others on eBay, I will not declare a false item value on a form.

      • Packaging policy: Items will be packaged carefully. Comics or magazines are usually put in plastic with a backing, then sandwiched between thick cardboard so the spine will not be bent in transit. I have never had any complaints about packaging. Extra padding and protection is used for rare/expensive items.

      • Condition policy: As a frequent eBay buyer, nothing is more irksome than getting a "surprise" --  an item in condition notably worse than described. I will never knowingly misrepresent an item's condition. My pet peeves for comics/magazines are split spines and detached centerfolds, so if an item has these flaws it will be described in the listing. If an item has major cut-outs, tears or other flaws, it will be prominently mentioned, not buried in the description. I aim to be a seller who can be trusted.

      • Returns policy: I don't have a strict policy, but I will allow returns for valid reasons. However, like most sellers I do not wish to spend extra time and fees having to take back items for frivolous reasons, so I won't agree to returns without justification. Please be sure to read the description carefully and do your part to make the transaction go smoothly.
