It won't affect the grade though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't affect the grade though Wait.... who signed it? The kid who owned it or one of the creators? If you're just talking about the kid who owned it, that is a common thing you find with old comics. They are graded down slightly, but if the comic is in otherwise great condition it will still grade well AND receive a blue label.

So it would be worth it to submit it? What’s a blue label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo is terrible for assessing grade, but it is probably a VG- or G/VG or less. The selling price for that, even in a slab, is about $25.

When I got it I messaged the seller about the signature on front and he said a lot of the old books have kids signatures on them but the book wasn’t ruined. He said he thought the book was worth 35-40 as is but could double with Disney purchasing fox. So I’m still wondering about submitting it, I think I probably will.

The signature would not affect the grade at all at this level. The second photo in the eBay listing is an enlargement of the signature area. I've missed things before on eBay listings, such as "centerfold missing". Yodisd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I personally would not slab either of your comics. They are too low of a grade. It wouldn't be cost effective once you paid to ship them and paid for the grading/slabbing and paid to have them shipped back. Just enjoy them the way they are..... a couple of great lower grade comics. lizards2, adampasz and Greenlake 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
