Thanks in advance for any thoughts on grade of this book. I picked it up at an estate sale for $5, and most likely will send it in to be pressed and graded in the not too distant future.

Welcome to the Boards!

Looks like your book has lots of spine and color breaking cover creases, small tears and edge and cover wear.  back cover looks great.

CGC 3.5  accumulation of defects characteristic for the grade

Thanks for the grading assistance, much appreciated!

here are a couple comps:   your copy is better than both 3.0s in my opinion, and difficult to compare to the 3.5 due to the large stain

CGC 3.0: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvel-Spotlight-5-CGC-3-0-O-W-pages-Origin-1st-app-Ghost-Rider-c-22756-/233151331966?hash=item3648e6fe7e%3Ag%3AJSQAAOSwJj9ceU7N&nma=true&si=CZ3IgbV9suD6a6qjLI04KfXDmJ8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Thanks for those comparisons. I have had a number of books graded over the years and humbly think this would grade 3.5 or slightly higher from my experience, along with looking at the examples you've sent links to. It's been so long since I've posted on the boards, I think they were still hosted separately from the CGC site at that time, thus this looking like my first post. Thanks again!
