Cheers, I'd take 1.0 all day tbh

My guess is CGC 0.5.......

1.0

a 0.5 would be missing an entire wrap and have large piece missing:

Grades back, but pissed really as come back restored, trimmed right edge apparently, have they seen the state of that edge? Was expecting everything else but seems a p**s take.

What was it trimmed with - pliers? Very silly.

Doesn’t look trimmed at all, just wear and tear, looks no narrower to a 2.0 etc

The trimming is on the bottom edge of the front cover. Looks like trimmed with a scissors. On a comic like this, of this low grade, not what I would have called a concerted effort to improve the appearance, restoration in the traditional meaning (as is typical of resto).

This high-demand book, in this grade? Any color CGC label at 0.5 will fetch about the same price in the ebay market, IMO. Whoever has been looking for an affordable low-grade and seeing VGs bring $2000 or more won't care. Blue, purple, it won't matter as long as there's one to grab for under $500.
