Cap 61

Let me know what you guys think.

I do not know how to grade golden age books and unfortunately I do not have any slabbed to compare to.

I bought this book as a 3.5

 

 

[chunkybutt]

Also, is it common for books to have the blue mis layed on the pages?

Does that effect the grade?

Obviously it effects the desirability.

3.5 might be about right. looks better, but i think the water damage will knock it down some.

Nice flat, glossy cover. Herr Skull also! These Timelys are become market rare (because of collector hoarding) that I wouldn't get hung up on whether it's a 3.0 or 3.5 or 4.0. Not many copies of these bad boys around. The real question is whether it's restored (judging from the scans it doesn't appear to be). So I would get it graded to rule out restoration. If you get a blue label, light a cigar!

Thanks for the input. I bought the book from Metropolis, so I am 99.9% sure there is no restoration.

It appears to be a 3.5 to me, but I have seen where golden age books get a stay of leniency when compared to a silver age book of same quality.

Basically I was hoping it may get a 4.0 from CGC.

I did not buy to flip or even as an investment. I have been buying golden age caps to read them, but I want to get them all slabbed after reading so if something were to happen to me, my wife would have an easier time selling them.

I would be totally happy with that as a 3.5. The off-register blue might bug me a little though, but not a deal killer.

Does not compute.

3.5 is about right

Metropolis does restoration checks. They said there was. None, so I. Am 99.9% sure there is none, unless they missed it and my untrained eye did also.

Sent from my mobile phone. It writes what it wants to write.

 

Meant to say,

"They said there was none. So I am 99.9% sure there is none."

3.5 is about right

 

Would be my guess as well...
