PGM Amazing Fantasy 15 0

Question for everyone, as this thread is pretty good example of a concern i've been seeing in big book grade estimates vs smaller book estimates from the same era.  I put the below xmen 10 book up the other day for review, and the consensus was a 3.0, noting the rusty staples is what caused the low grade, which i agree.  The above spidey is getting estimates of 2.5-3.0.  Does anyone else think that these two books from a presentation stand point, are not on the same level?

Also, didn't mean to go off topic.  I'd give the spidey a 1.8 if i was estimating.

 Last post, three is a charm.  I own a 1.5 spidey qualified, below, think it's pretty close.

Yes, I agree there are presentation differences regarding the X10, rusting staples effects the entire book, every wrap, it's structural integrity, etc. so I understand severity with technical grade associated with such as well.  Presentation isn't everything, though highly important in my collecting over the years, with a 'bang for the buck' vg being my fave   My AF seems a little more solid spine wise and overall cover appearance top to bottom.  I see the rear cover pulling that book up from lower, but just my opinion.  The rear cover on mine is clearly in need of a clean, but the bottom edge chipping is the most severe downgrade I believe. So the rear cover I believe pulls that one up, and in my case pulls it down.  I still think its a 2 minimum, a 2.25 is in order, with a 2.5 possible with clean.  But...we'll see.

I agree with you on your book.  I think if the conditions of your af15 and my xmen 10 were flipped, the estimates would come back higher on the af15 and lower on the xmen 10. I could be off base, just my observation.

3.0

Thanks to all who offered their opinions and views.  I was going to wait for a walkthrough, but unknown when at this point so it may be a direct sub.  Stay safe all and again, thanks for your input

2.0 - 2.5

You can't guess two numbers...  

2.5

Solid 2.0 ... with a good clean probably minor bump to 2.5
