WORLD’S FINEST COMICS 198 & 199 (DC 1970) 3rd SUPERMAN vs FLASH race (VG/FN)

Description: PLEASE NOTE: I’m not a professional grader but have over 40 years of collecting, trading & selling comic books & other collectibles. Please read description in 3rd paragraph. Please view all photos & ask any questions you may have. Grading is not a science. The impact or the importance of flaws to a book can vary from person to person. I may feel a faint water stain on the back cover is minor where someone else feels it’s more of a major defect. What I may think is a 6.0 or 6.5 someone else may think it’s a 5.0 or 5.5. I try to note what I feel are the most notable of defects and give honest grade ranges. I’m not trying to hide anything, I just may think something is not as major as someone else. Please do not purchase if you disagree or like to debate grade ranges. Purchase professionally graded comics then. I see the poorly graded comics listed out there. Also it is not my concern how the book can possibly be improved or not improved by a pressing, cleaning or any other restoration. Thank you and sorry for the rant. Offered up from my personal collection is a “RARE” WORLD’S FINEST COMICS #198 & #199. Published by DC Comics in 1970. Story by Denny O’Neil, art by Dick Dillin with “great” covers by Carmine Infantino & Neal Adams. #198-3rd Superman vs. Flash race. Format changes to Superman team-up. Batman cameo. #199-Superman vs. Flash race concludes. Guardians appearance. Vintage “KEY” WORLD’S FINEST issues and a “MUST HAVE” for any DC Comics, SUPERMAN and FLASH completist/collector. In my estimation the books range in “NICE” (4.0) VERY GOOD to (5.0) VERY GOOD/FINE condition with medium/dark cream to slightly tan pages. Some significant moderate wear to covers, spines, corners & edges. #198 has a ding/creasing at top right corner which impacts entire book slightly and the centerfold is detached at top staple. #199 has a faint indent lower middle and faint creasing at bottom right corner. Both books have age discoloration/staining/soiling. Sharp, bright & glossy looking copies. There are no other glaring flaws to note, that is not typical to books falling under the indicated grade ranges or visible in pictures. I am not a professional grader but grade very conservatively using The Overstreet Price Guide as reference and my 40+ years of comic book collecting/selling experience.
