Help grading Spidey #20 please

[popnecker]

I've had this Amazing Spider-man #20 for a number of years and was hoping to get some opinions as to the grade. I go back and forth as to whether to slab it or not, so any ideas on that would be appreciated...also, this is my very first post, so "scanning reviews" would also be helpful.

Sweet book.

 

Would be NM if not for those small creases on the spine and the crease on the upper left corner (back). Looks around VF to me.

Hey Herbie,

If you're a shill, I'm gonna bop you with this here lipop!

Is that a chip missing from the URBC? If not, it looks like an 8.5 by virtue of an accumulation of very small defects - nize book!

 

You should definitely get it slabbed if you are going to sell it -- otherwise just keep it in a nice 4-mil Mylar sleeve with a full-back and some micro-chamber paper between the covers, and enjoy it!

Haha, no shill here.., so no bopping please! Nope, no chip missing from the URBC, just very slight fold over there. No plans to sell it, but I'll definitely take measures to keep it in it's current condition. Thanks!

Very nice copy, hopefully I will be adding one soon to my collection,

 

Yours looks to be in the VF/VF+ range, based on the scans

Agree with Diva. BTW Do you use micro paper? I thought about buying some.

I would definitely have that one slabbed. It's in pretty good shape, and with new possible developments with Max Gargan in the MK Spider-Man series, as well as a new Scorpion series in Amazing Fantasty coming up, this one could go up in value.

 

Good call on just keeping it in it's current condition. I've been thinking of doing the same with some of my more modern books; for collection/investment and not for resale. But a lot of people have told me not to do it. No idea why, they're all at least 9.6's.

I sold a CGC 8.0 of this book earlier this year. Your copy looks nicer than mine did. I'd say 8.5 to 9.0. Gorgeous book!

Thanks much for the opinions, a big help. I'll most likely get this one slabbed in the new year. I'm sure I must have the story in Marvel Tales (or something similar) for future reads. Now there's some fun...how many times has this story been reprinted...a few times to say the least.

Well, the book came back slabbed 8.5 OW. Great grading folks!
