I asked your opinion...I thought you might have some insight on it...I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fading is strong. Looks like a 7.0 grade range for me. Not sure but if you are considering buying this book I would avoid it.

JTD Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks Bob...I think it was a stock photo...I wouldn’t desire a faded comic was just wondering how bad it would get hammered if structurally it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen books that were in otherwise very high grade get knocked down to a 5.5 for fading. The ASM #129 looks pretty similar to those...

It's tough to say what the ASM 129 would get if it were sent to CGC, but this is a pretty fair estimate... Krismusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
