PGM ASM 300

I picked this up at Megacon in Orlando a couple of weeks ago and before I spend the money to send it in to be graded I wanted to get your opinions. All are appreciated!

I meant to mention that the pages are off white to white. As the pictures will show the corners at the spine show some wear. 

[SteppinRazor]

The back top left corner looks like it has a color break crease, and some color wear near the staples and bottom spine side.  Front cover looks great.  I'd guess a (9.2) (scroll over).  Corner crease seems to be the worst of it.

What do you mean by a scroll over?

Scroll over in between the parentheses to see the grade.  I hide the grade just to keep subsequent graders fresh.  Probably useless, but can't hurt.

If the forum consensus is less than a 9.6 I'm going to keep it raw and just enjoy the comic. 

[poppy73]

Any other takers?

8.5

It moves a little more deliberate in here.  Give it a couple of days

Back cover bottom left corner crease or is it wear?

[Rip67vdub]

8.5-9.0 IMO.

[Artboy99]

I am even at 8.0

Back cover bottom left color breaking crease is rather large.

[poppy73]

I'm concerned the corners are going to hurt my grade the most. The cover is gorgeous but time will tell as I've sent it in for the pros to grade. Will update.

on the back cover the upper left corner has a bend same with the back cover bottom it's bendy creasy. If it was just the top I'd say 8.5, but with both I'm saying 8.0, the corners on this are kinda  but nice book; depending on how much you paid, it's still probably worth grading to keep it from more ware.

Prices are going up, you used to get an 8.0 for $175, now it is $225+ so if the movie hype drives it up hopefully it'll stick higher than it was a year ago when it finally settles after movie hype; whew that was a mouthful

I'll take an 8.0. I will hold onto it and I have a few other books I'm more excited about. You never know cgc can shock you sometimes. Thanks for the opinion.

8.0 back cover left lower corner crease.  But book presents great!

[poppy73]

I would like to mention that I sent in my copy of X-Men 266 with more evident corner issues and it was returned with a 9.0 grade. Mainly I'd like to halt any further damage to my ASM 300 issue by getting it encapsulated and added to my wall of comics.

I'll know for sure in a couple of weeks when I get it back from CGC. Thank you for your opinion.:)

[comicquant]

I think a 9.0.  The CBC on the back cover's corner in conjunction with some edge wear and the abraded corners will probably keep it from going any higher.  One of my favorite Spidey's!  GLWT!!!
