  1. CGC slabs ultra brittle books all the time that when you open them from the slab will literally flake of many small pieces just by holding and or breathing on it (that's why they have the brittle pages designation). This book does not show even any slight signs of that type of brittleness. The pages look just fine are supple, the cover is missing large pieces, but is not flecking off small pieces like you see in a brittle cover. The only thing I would be worried about slightly is the front cover and back cover getting off center either when placed in the slab or after handling/shaking the slab in shipping etc. To fix this, you should pit a tiny micro piece of tape to hold the very bottom of the back cover to the front and the very top piece that fits well across from the the green .12 cent price area where it says marvel comic group. This will make the cover look attached instead of getting too far off center from each other and it will present much nicer in the slab.
  2. Sounds like a poor business practice! Why not allow pre screen on higher dollar books where it matters the most? The competitors would allow that! I probably would not take the risk and just submit where I know it would get the 1.0 it deserves but let CGC know they lost your business by not allowing the pre screen grade that makes a huge deal from .5 to 1.0!
  3. Interesting, I had never tried to pre screen an unlimited value book good to know. You should just click on the High Value tier and try to submit it that way. That way you get the pre screen and if they think the final value is too far off based on the final grade they will bump up the price/tier for you after grading (IF it makes your pre screen grade)
  4. It's a .5 but 1.0 on a great day with the right grader, I would not send it in unless you put 1.0 as a pre screen. However, most collectors disagree with the .5 CGC harsh grading on books with a complete story and cover that is 90-95% complete split or not, they always used to get .5 but they decided to become tougher on 1.0 books a while back. In cases like this, a competitor grading company will give you the 1.0 it deserves all day long if CGC won't give it to you.
  5. 1.8 Looks like the spine not completely split, but not far off either. If I am wrong and its completely split then yes 1.5.
  6. Its a 3.0 all day. Really slim shot at 3.5 if you get one of their loosest graders on a great day but I highly doubt it.
  7. Its a 3.5 with an outside shot at 4.0
  8. I was thinking a soft 5.5, but gotta be happy with a 5.0 it was one or the other. CGC has suddenly gotten tougher though, I just had 100 SA books come back and not a single gift of soft grade in the bunch, but quite a few grades 1-3 grades lower than I expected/deserved, a few even worse like a 5.0 that looks nicer than any 7.0 I have ever seen and no nothing hidden that I missed in the CGC notes! Based on the last few grading competitions, they tightened up massively or I was just given the tightest grader in the company that took out having a bad week on my comics?
  9. Discoloration on interior covers indicates some sort of staining or light water contact etc. That mixed with the bottom right crease to the front cover puts it in the 5.5 to 6.5 category, but it does show very nice for a book in that grade range.
  10. Just had a customer request a few more hours on this listing to look it over again before I close it. Last chance for Amazing Below Market Price Blow Outs on many Major Keys!
  11. FINAL DAY OF CLEARANCE SALE! ALL PRICES ON THE FIRST GROUP OF BOOKS JUST LOWERED, EVERYTHING PRICED BELOW MARKET TO SELL! NEW BOOKS ADDED YESTERDAY (SCROLL UP)!
  12. Count me in. However as an FYI, I just got 100 mostly Silver Age books back from CGC and the grades were on average between 1 - 3 points almost across the board more tight than anything we have seen in the past few grading competitions. So, either grading standards have tightened up massively in the past month or two, or I specifically got the tightest grader CGC has specifically assigned to all my books who in addition was having a very bad couple days (dumped by his girlfriend/wife etc), or someone at CGC just does not like me.

  23. Funny, I thought I saw a lot of similarities in those books, they all looked about the same or maybe 1/2 grade or so apart, but until now they never had 2 grades the same in the same round, so I felt the need to change a few just slightly. Still, ill take the 4 points, better than my other rounds. That Famous Funnies does show better than the rest though, just shows not all 5.0s are created equal.
