From what I understand the missing top 1/3 is quite common because the coupon offer on the inside cover.

I agree that CGC is in another galaxy when it comes to Marvel Chipping, names written on covers and date stamps. All above when compared to books without should be valued as a lesser specimen.

How about the water (?) stains up and down the edge where the chipping occurs.

Looks pretty rough to me

Here it is:

 

 

I guess because the book is otherwise pretty nice, so it would have been more like a 6.5-7.0 without the chipping/staining?

[etanick]

yup, I don't see anything wrong with the 4.0 grade either.

[Racer-X]

I think CGC is way too lenient on chipping. I think it's such an ugly defect, common or not.

Sales always reflect this, alas my AF15 is in this category

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, this is the result of an unsold book. When shop owners didn't sell comics and had to return them to the distributor, they were supposed to cut out the title of the book, which is normally on the upper 1/4 or 1/3 of the book.

couple of new af15cgc 3.0's i've added recently, planning on keeping them as part of my collection. i've decided to only get af15s from here on out. anyone that knows me on the boards-know that my one only true love are af15s. whenever i diverge or diversify to other keys i get anxiety. i'd rather dedicate all my available funds to af15s no matter the grade (thumbs u

+1. They're called remainders.

I never did post my book to the club! Here she be!

That gets my stamp of approval. That is the gold standard of what an af15 cgc 5.0 should look like. The listed price was a good deal if I recall correctly

[Spyderfan]

Well, she's not perfect, but she met my qualifications. This one has no writing, no date stamps, no MC, and no other abnormal blemishes. Oh, and the price was definitely right up my alley! (thumbs u How many do you have now SpiderTurtle? Care to do a group shot?

Congrats to you! Great looking 5.0. Being patient paid off handsomely. With nice 4.0's approaching $9K, this 5.0 in hindsight, will prove to be a bargain.

Cool AF15s...all of them.
