I'm bookmarking this Famous Funnies #214 CGC 1.5 Cr/OW Pages with a cover fully split and detached at the spine as a reference point for selling raws on eBay.

Actually, kinda serious....

@ComicHoarder I appreciate that you brought this cool cover to our attention. But I'm still trying to figure out what you are saying about a reference point for selling raws?

@EbayMafia is it because he thinks the condition is worse than the grade? Therefore will call books with similar apparent defects 1.5?

That is a beautiful cover.

I was saying that a book with a fully split and detached cover, should not be a 0.5, if it is otherwise a fairly solid book...as is the case with the book in this CGC 1.5 slab.

I have aDC early 50's SA western key that would be around a 6.0/6.5, if not for the cover being fully split & detached.

Tough to imagine how CGC would grade that book, and even tougher to imagine if it should be taped along the spine (along the interior with archival tape ) or left as is...and if taped, how CGC and/or CBCS would grade it.
