Collector's Notes

CGC 8.0 · CR/OW pages

A solid mid-grade copy. A modest census of 26.

CGC census: 2 graded at 8.0 · 4 graded higher · 26 total · avg 5.92 (CGC Universal label)

Zacherley’s signature crosses this cover. It carries no COA, so CGC counted it against the grade — the underlying condition grades higher than the label.

The WOR-TV variant ties Issue #7 to the host himself: “ZACHERLEY WOR-TV 9 EVERY FRIDAY 11:30 P.M.” printed on a cover that already wears his painted portrait, the little Chaney Phantom on his shoulder.
