T'Challa Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Detective Comics #73 - 1st Scarecrow Cover These are the only pictures I have...didn't have white gloves. This book belongs to a friend of mine that stashed away about 70 comics 20 years ago and had 4 really neat GA Books! NEED YOUR HELP WITH THIS GA CLASSIC! Based only on what you see what grade do you put on this one? Defects I can only see without taking the book out: This book appears to have pulled away from the staple but some of the cover is still attached. The top edge is where I see paper very brittle and sticking out passed the top edge. This leaves me to believe that this defect is one where the page is torn and folded over. Obvious writing on the FC, may have it on the back. Tears up and down the spine, crease on the cover that break color. Page quality looked Cream but not tan so that's good! Now for the good Despite the creases and color breaks this book really pops. Strong eye appeal! Edges are not bad probably the 2nd best thing about this book's condition. Still attached and I assume no missing pages. Anyways...thanks for any advice. I won't say what grade I think it is to keep the mind open. -Jeff Edited July 31, 2017 by Jrisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 If it's detached at one staple then max grade is 3.5 but until you examine the entire book There is no way to know the lower limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
