  1. PGM Tales of Suspense 51. Has that small tear on the back cover that I highlighted. Centerfold is separated from the bottom staple. All pages are there, and nothing is clipped out or written on. Otherwise the pics tell the tale. Thanks!
  2. Good question. I added two pics of spine. Shows minimal wear to my eyes.
  3. All pages intact and stapled. Has never been cleaned or pressed. The most obvious thing I see is on the cover, far left, between the staples. Otherwise, cover gloss seems pretty good to my untrained eye. Not sure if cleaning and pressing are necessary, but what is everyone’s opinion?
  4. Cover is attached at top and bottom staple. You can see it from the picture of the spine. There are tiny tears on the sides of the bottom staple that you can see from another picture.
  5. Oldie, but goodie. Seen better days, but I’m curious to read everyone’s opinions. All pages are attached. Has not been pressed (as should be obvious) or cleaned.
  6. Yeah, that red cover is tough. And you can say dirt, lol!
  7. Pictures mostly tell the tale. Staples solid and centerfold is attached. Centerfold detached from bottom staple. Includes the pinup! Someone’s name written in ink above the Scorpian’s head on cover. Round water stain back cover upper left corner
  8. ASM #39 and 40 are what got me into collecting. Pictures mostly tell the tale. Staples solid, but centerfold is detached from bottom staple. It needs pressing. Curious to find out if my number is the same as you folks.
  9. I picked this up for $1 from Half Price Books probably 30 years ago. Bagged and boarded it, so never really looked at it that closely until now. I’ve not come across such color loss before, and this seemed a bit extreme.
  10. Was looking over this book and saw a color issue in the bottom 1/3 and part of left side. Is this a printing issue or a sun issue? How much would it affect the grade?
  11. Your opinions are welcome. The book is complete and pages stapled firmly from cover to centerfold. No page tears or writing. It has not been cleaned or pressed, and I’m not sure if it would benefit from either. Thanks in advance.
  12. Just trying to improve my grading skills. Stapes are firmly attached, as is the cover. There is a very light crease across the comics code stamp. That corner is the most problematic from what I can see. The red on yellow on the cover really pops. No internal issues. No work has been done on the book. I have a number in mind. What’s yours?
  13. Slowly trying to improve my grading skills. I have an idea on this one, but would love input. One thing not seen in the pics is that the cover is separated from the top staple, but not the bottom. That limits me to a max of 4, other issues notwithstanding, right? The interior pages are all tightly stapled. It has not been cleaned or pressed or, obviously, graded.
