jb4 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Debating on what to do with this one . Keep as a raw reader or grade? Handful of color breaking on front as well as some fading around the top . Small stain on upper back cover and dust shadows.

allthingskryptonite Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 My guess for the grade would be 4.5. Novice grader here. If I had this book, I would slab it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilskip Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Nice copy as a reader. If you were going to sell it, it might be worth looking into. I'm going with a 4.0 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 4.0 seems right, outside chance at 4.5 If wanting to sell, it's hit and miss. Sometimes raw 4.0 sell for the same or better depending on how bidding goes. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 4.0ish. I like it as a toilet copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshGrav Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I think you should get it cleaned, pressed, and graded. I think you might be surprised at the grade you get on this. I just got my ASM 129 back from CGC and got an 8.5. Obviously your copy has some things wrong with it, but I think it could be cleaned up a little bit. Wouldn't be surprised at all if you pulled a 6.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard about upgrades from 6.5 to 9 after a clean and press. 9.4 is 👌🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthingskryptonite Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 A book before and after cleaning-pressing can look entirely different. So I won't hold it against anyone if they graded the unpressed book relatively low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
