MattnNY Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Hi gang, I’ve owned this book for nearly 20 years. Overall, it’s a really nice example that didn’t get much reading time. Thinking of getting it graded and would love to get thoughts on where it might land. There are 2 very faint non color breaking bends (I wouldnt even call them creases as I think they could easily press out). There is also a 1/8th tiny tear on upper left top. A little staining on the back spine and some minor wear on the back lower portion. Page quality is very nice. (Please also see the non-color breaking crease on the upper left corner....realized that was there after I sent the original post and I inadvertently left out...hence the edit) Hopefully the pictures will show all of this. Thanks guys for taking a moment and looking! Any thoughts/recommendations much appreciated!

csaag Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Nice! I'll throw out a guess in the 6.5-7.0 range. Maybe a press/dry clean could improve it more FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I like this copy. It has nice color and presents well. I'd be thinking it would land somewhere in the upper fine range. One of the questions I have about this book concerns the top left corner of the back cover. It's hard to tell on my monitor, but it looks like there's a crease there that may be color touched. Have you looked at this area closely? I hope there's nothing wrong...perhaps other folks here can offer their professional opinion about this...

MattnNY Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Thanks Lions Den, I regretfully forgot to mention that crease, but you can see it in the photo. Definitely no color touch....this copy was given to me in a batch of 50 or so GA comics that were given to the son of the original owner- his dad. Hang on...let take a close up photo. It’s a non color breaking crease....should definitely be a part of the assessment of grade. But no color touch. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think this is a very attractive copy, even with the flaws it has. Thanks for the eye candy...and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyder! Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I also think 6.5 is in the right ball park MattnNY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
