Pretty beat Amazing Fantasy 15. 1 1

[DougthePug]

This AF15 looks like it got into a bar fight everyday since it's been published.  It's probably obvious, but tape has been added.  Cover still attached, and pages are not brittle. Thanks for your thoughts!

You probably don't want that comic is such a low grade. I'll take it though, I'm not that picky. 

[ashsaytr]

that books awesome!

How good is the centerfold ? Have you done a page count to make sure it is all there. Can see the small piece missing bottom right corner on interior page. How many pages does that go through? Does it affect the story?          (although appears low enough not to)   these are more issues that may detract from overall grade but I too would say about 1.0 . If it's all there and that's the only corner maybe 1.5 but missing anything else would be 0.5 and probably noted as incomplete.

Have the covers dipped into a chemical wash by a pro to reduce the tape staining, cleaned and pressed into a 1.5, as long as all pages there.

1.8

I didn't even realize CGC had a lower grade than 0.5 until I just looked this book up. Probably because I've never looked up a book this valuable before.

[Krismusic]

i would be at a 1.0 maybe maybe 1.5, but theres some staining on the inside cover and chunk missing on splash page so more leaning towards 1.0 but maybe get lucky.

[TSwift25]

All pages present and attached? 1.0.

[Crops068]

I agree with the 1.0.  But man that is still a beautiful book.

Thanks to everyone for the thoughts on this book's grade!  To answer these questions, all pages are present and it's just the corner of the first page the has the little shark bite taken out of it.  Story should be complete.  I've included a picture of the centerfold...not a beauty queen, but it's present.

Man that still is a beauty.. awesome that it is complete . As someone else mentioned maybe professionally cleaned to 1.5 , but a lot of risk for what looks like a wonderful 1.0!

1.5

Chemical wash... isn't that considered restoration?

Anyhoo... love the book... I'll say a 1.0 with fingers crossed!

A professional PH neutral chemical wash will lift soot and reduce staining of your covers. Should still be able to get u a blue label CGC. Restoration is pieces added, trimming, color touch.
