Kyle Cottle 10 posts Posted October 25, 2018 Should I have this graded and if so should I see about having the tape removed from Hourmans left elbow. If the tape cannot be removed without significant damage to the comic should I have it pressed with the tape? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanfingh 42,052 posts Posted October 26, 2018 You should not get this graded. GPA on a 4.0 is less than $50 and this looks lower than a 4.0 to me. You should not worry about the tape or try to have it removed. This is a very low grade copy of an awesome SA book. You should enjoy it for what it is and not throw any money at it - no pressing, no tape removal, and no slabbing. 4 1 The Lions Den, Kyle Cottle, silverseeker and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marvelmaniac 755 posts Posted October 26, 2018 Getting the book graded is strictly a personal decision and depends on what you plan on doing with the book. If you plan on selling the book is it worth the expense over what it will sell for? The only graded Showcase 55 that has sold on eBay recently was a FN+ 6.5 that sold for $132.00 If you are going to keep the book having it graded does not offer any more protection than a Mylite and Acid Free Board. As the book sits right now with a piece of tape it is IMO a VG 4.0 which makes the value of this book $40 - $50. 1 1 The Lions Den and Kyle Cottle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
