PGM Daredevil #1 (that is currently in a PGX Slab) *BACK FROM CGC UPDATE

[Soft-Serve]

Hello all,

 

I thought this would be fun..... I bought this PGX slab ages ago but never got around to cracking it and resubbing. I will soon, but thought it would be fun for everyone to give their opinion if it will go up, down, or side-ways with the CGC grading. On a side note, I just learned this book is a pseudo-rarity in that it is cut rather square compared to other DD #1's, but that won't help me out in the grade.

 

Anyway, I will update this thread in a year when the book comes back

 

*I would be interested in knowing if anyone thinks a pressing and cleaning will help me out here. I've never done it and am nervous at the prospect.

looks like it could come back CGC 3.0 maybe 3.5

not sure if a press will help or not

[etanick]

i think a press can help the BC but I don't see it bumping up the grade much...maybe 0.5. Whether the cost of pressing is worth the hassle for a potential 0.5

 

I think you are in the ball park with 3.0 as is.

[DR.X]

Lots of surface wear and creases on both covers. I think 3.0 is more in the ballpark.

I have to agree with the posters before me....3.0 or so...press might help the BC but it won't do much to the FC and all those CBC and the tear up top.

[Erndog]

Yup, first thing that hit me was a 3.0.

Me too. Intensive creasing puts me off…

4.0 was nonsense, IMO

[Soft-Serve]

I should mention that I took these pictures outside, with the sun at an extreme angle. Not making excuses per se, but I would bet a scan would look much different. (I know I don't look very good in that light either!)

 

For what it's worth it looks almost identical - and in some ways better - than my CGC 4.0 version of the book. Based on that, I would guess at 4.0 from CGC.

 

When I get back home in a few days I'll post the scans of this book.

I think that a press would be worth it for sure!? Not even that much money to press a book anyways. Talk to joeypost!

[Soft-Serve]

What about cleaning? Will it take some of the brown out of the whites? (BTW, it's not a dark in person as the pics came out...)

[oakman29]

3.0 for sure.

[Jester Hats]

3.0 - 3.5.

[Point Five]

I like PGX-bashing as much as the next guy, but I think 3.0 is low on this. Nice rich cover colors and not a lot of creasing. I do think the light in the photos is probably exaggerating every little rumple. I'd agree with 4.0, maybe 3.5 worst case.

This book while it is a mess in some area's has a ton of very pressable defects.

I defer to the master

[cozman-migration]

I bet it stays at 4.0. Have to agree with Point Five on the PGX bashing, but what if it comes back at 4.5? Hmmm. I'd press it. Side note Joeypost if your up for it we can put before and after scans of some of (or all) of the books you just pressed for me before you run them over to CGC. Then let the gang grade em. Heck maybe i'll give away a prize too, like Chunkybutt. That was so cool!

[The_Captain]

At its current state, I'd have to agree with the 3.0 majority

 

[ROBTOTHEC]

I am with the 3.0's. There is a lot wrong with it.

Maybe 3.5 in hand.

[Comicdey]

I'd grade it a 3.0

[Comicdey]

Definately press it
