Showcase #14

I was wondering what grade do you think this is? It's detached with a brittle cover; so I was wondering would this get a blue or a green label, and if so what grade would either get?

All comments are welcomed.

This is a brutal copy. 1.8?

A 1.8? But if I were to send that into CGC would it geta blue or a green label?

[boatfund]

blue label 2.0 (as long as no big spine splits or pieces missing inside).  Why do you think it would get a green label?  If it was an otherwise 8.0 with a detached cover then yes a green label.  It's a lower grade so it gets a blue label.   Lots of people would love to have that book, very tough to find a high grade copy.

I just thought if it was detached it was automatically a green label; but ahh even a 2.0?

Detached cover can still easily be at least "good" by grading standards... your copy could likely bring a CGC 2.0 blue label....

Many thanks! But it wouldn't be worth it at all to press the comic before slabbing it? ~

I don’t think it would help to press a detached cover ⁉️⁉️ I would like to know the answer to that one myself ⁉️⁉️👍

A press isn't going to help all the color breaking creases and stresses, along with moisture staining. I don't think a press would increase  the numerical grade. If it's brittle I wouldn't take a chance on further damage.

don't press it, will likely damage this already fragile book.

2.0 blue label.  it's not terrible

Depending on how well the staples are attached at the cover and centerfold this could pull a 2.5. Otherwise I'm in the 2.0 camp.
