Description: Crime Does Not Pay 40 CGC 5.0 (1945 Gleason) Pre-Code Crime Dead Body Violent Incredible cover from Charles Brio - one of the best in a long line of awesome crime-related issues in this series... Man with gun drawn fighting with a woman with a knife - all beside a large man, with eyes rolled back in his head, bleeding from a gunshot, with a deck of cards stuffed in his mouth. Amazing. Rare book, in particular at mid-grade or better... This is a very nice copy - CGC 5.0 - and this book was not cleaned or pressed before submitting to get graded. Book is nearly 80 years old! One of just 25 total copies - rare chance to get this HTF golden age crime book! I will make a note and take pics on the rare occasion I post a slab with a crack or break. Otherwise the slabs are nice = (minor scuffs, typical with age or shipping, CGC/CBCS “allowable” stuff like newton rings, weld seams, scuffs from shipping etc)…. to flawless. Happy to pull a book and inspect, take additional pics, etc-just ask! Ships USPS priority-wrapped in bubble and boxed to protect. Fully insured at no additional cost to buyer.
