Hi, all! Found this beauty misfiled in my collection and I'm stumped as to whether to get it slabbed. It's got amazing cover gloss you could signal airplanes with, BUT it also has pronounced Marvel chipping across the top. I truly appreciate your input/feedback. Grade? Would you send it in?

The top edge actually looks like the typical overhang you see on many Silver Age Marvels. The tanning around the edges is what I would call moderate. I do see a small tear at the top of the spine, too. A raw copy in FN/VF condition just sold on eBay for about $58. A slabbed copy in 5.0 sold for about $66. Another slabbed copy in 8.5 sold for $100. Your book looks like it's somewhere in the FINE range. I hope this helps, and happy reading!

That does indeed help! Thank you!

Heavy tanning, oxidized staples, spine wear = looks VG to me for a silver age book and worth maybe 20 bucks

A fiver.  You could buy a copy already slabbed and it would run about the same cost as the raw + the fees involved.  Good luck!

Looks like might have been improperly stored.??
