RJL66 1 post Posted January 3 Came across issues 1-6 of this series and I'd just like to know if they'd be worth anything. Sorry about the shadows/glare, I don't have access to a scanner right now. Thanks! https://imgur.com/a/tAuMhcA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marvelmaniac 1,117 posts Posted January 3 This book IMO is a VG+ 4.5. The only thing keeping it from a VG/FN 5.0 IMO is the amount and severity of the stress lines on the spine 5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN): Back to Top An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present. 4.5 VERY GOOD+ (VG): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Good but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 4.0 VERY GOOD (VG): Back to Top The average used comic book. Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Cover reflectivity is low. Can have moderate creases or dimples. Corners may be blunted. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade copies. Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1" spine split. Staples may be discolored. Minor to moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agamoto 52 posts Posted January 9 I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the #1 is a reprint. In that condition, it's basically colorful toilet paper. See the section: "Star Wars Comics 1977 #1 35c Reprint Without REPRINT by Luke" https://www.sellmycomicbooks.com/star-wars-comics.html Now, if you've got issues 2, 3, or 4 with a 35 cent price inside a square box, not a diamond, and no "REPRINT" text next to Luke in the top left corner, then you're going to be one VERY happy fellow, pretty much regardless of condition.
