BrooksR Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I picked this up yesterday at an antique mall. It was an impulse buy, I wasn’t even looking for comics and I’m worried that in my excitement I might have paid too much ($45). It’s kind of dirty looking and the back is a little wrinkly but without breaking color. Would a cgc press improve it? Do they do cleaning also? Thank you for taking the time to look! 😀🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I will say 5.0 as is. Maybe a press and clean gets you to lower Fine territory. As for what you paid, well it may be a smidge more than one might want. Mind you, I am someone who believes this book can still be found in back boxes for under $20 in FN/VF shape so that is what I am holding out for. Might be a pipe dream but my brain is living in past 10 years ago, thinking of this book still as $10 at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksR Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Thank you for your response. That’s what I get for buying something without looking it up first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggykoopa Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm going 6.0 after clean and press. A clean and press would do wonders for this book. All the dirt can be removed from the white areas and the wrinkles on the cover can press right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatterEaterLad Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 5.0 that's begging for a press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silversurfer275 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 not bad like a 5.5 maybe a little overpaid I would not grade it and also wait til he comes in a movie to sell it but it could of been worse good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksR Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Thank you, I’ll not buy another book without researching it first, a valuable lesson learned 🙂 Edited July 23, 2019 by BrooksR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 5.5 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobZe Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Spine breaks, color break wrinkles on right of cover, rear cover appears soiled(?) These flaws limit this books potential ... although it’s going to look a lot better with a press 4.0 with a press, not sure why they’ll grade without the press. They tend to be harder on those non color break flaws than I am ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobZe Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 FWIW I grade without reading others grades ... I see I’m way low ... just my uneducated opinion I’m here to learn, please post results if you get it slabbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
