Sean1125 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, would you please grade my comic? There is a slight bend in the surface just below spider mans leg. On a couple pages there is a small puncture near the bottom about 7 or 8 mm from the edge and about 1mm in diameter - two of these about 3 inches apart. No page tears or anything missing. I am acquanting myself to grading and appreciate any help I may receive here. Thank you. Edited September 4, 2017 by Sean1125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanfromottawa Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Jeez, I would guess 8.5-9.... $$$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It looks like there are some tears on the bottom of the BC ? There also appears to be a bottom right corner chip. It looks like a very nice book but I would be in the 7.0ish range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailman_Comics Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I see the defects Bomber-Bob pointed out, there also appears to be a corner chip at the top of the spine. Before looking at anybody else's grade and not even counting the hidden defects the OP mentioned I had it as 6.0ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustEatBrains Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I could see this as a 7.0, absolutely stunning book. Serious congrats on owning this iconic book in a lovely grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 6/6.5 bc tears and corner take it out of the 7 zone for me. Still an amazing copy. If I had one in any condition I'd be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 If it comes back CGC 7.0 or better, someone might be able to start living the American dream (new car, money in the bank for rent/mortgage payments for years, basic family security ) FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy73 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I'd say 7.5 maybe 8.0. The book is stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I was in the 7.0/7.5 range before looking at comments and I'm still saying that range STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpideyFein Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I would say 6.5-7.0. The book seems to have some type of tanning on the back cover and possibly the inside cover, which could bring it down. Added with the defects Bob pointed out, I think it's a 6.5 any day of the week though. Very nice. I've seen books like this get 7.5's too though- but they weren't AF's. Please update us if you indeed get it graded. What a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drotto Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I am going for a 7.0 What I see 1. some Spine roll (pressing should help) 2. Color break of some type under the price 3. tear to spine on lower left 4. Bottom edge looks a little rough including a small tear or fold on the back bottom Very solid and nice book.

Sean1125 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Hello guys, This book is in for grading and the submission was received today. I should know the grade by the end of the day. CCS deemed the book "too fragile to press". I am very curious about that as my worse condition books are getting pressed. This will be an interesting learning experience. Edited October 16, 2017 by Sean1125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be an interesting learning experience. I wonder what caused this designation? Possibly brittle pages but in a book in this condition I can't imagine. Maybe they didn't think a press would do the book any good so avert risk. It will be interesting to see what it comes back as. I think its going to be a very nice 6.5/7.0! Outstanding book!
