A 9.6 isn't a terrible grade but the highe the better.  Thanks for the replys. so what do you think this comic would/dhould grade at? Has creme to off white pages. Has nothing wrong to the back, well from what I can see.  

 

 

FYI, we can't tell with an image like that. You have to remove from the back and scan it front and back. Only way to grade accurately.

Giella inks.

Moldoff/Giella not nearly as sexy as Infantino/Anderson.

Thank you for the advice! Yes and no for storage locker find. I was on CL one night and messaged a guy selling a huge lot of comcs. He new he had a gold mind but didn't care.. I drove to OKC from Dallas,TX to get them.. I literally was a newb and could have bought 3k worth of junk. I knew enough about collectibles to know for the amount of books it was worth it. He found a storge locker full to the top with them.

I gotta ask - have you counted the pages?

Ugh. Is there a centerfold in that one like the Poison Ivy book? I got piped on that one time.

Good thing he didn't know how close to Heritage and MyComicShop he is!

He knew enough to bait me with The Flash 105. It was in amazing shape!  When I got through all the books once I was home, he said oh I must have sold it in another collection. FML

Look at the spine. That ain't no 9.8 nor a 9.6. Really hard to call it a 9.anything.

Agreed. I see what appears to be micro-tears and many spine breaks. I would start taking better pictures and asking for estimates on grades. If not, you will most likely be very disappointed with what you send in.

Thank you for your help

No need to be 9.8 or bust I'm very happy with my 6.0 WBN 32.

Got to love how touchy people get when someone mentions Voldy.

As long as you are not going PGX to grade your books you're in good shape. 

I strongly prefer CGC over the other main competitor but they both do good work. The CGC case feels much better in hand.

I understand, what do you like better about cgc vs the competitor ? Besides the case ?

It doesn't have to do with being "touchy". The mods, at times, will nerf threads about competitors. We're just cautioning against too much discussion about them.

I think we all knew that. But I would have liked to give a better grade which was not easy to do with that image.

Why would you send that book in for grading then? You could sell it for as good a price raw and not have to spend more on it.

I will see if I took some scans of it.

Things do get pretty Orwellian around here. Hence why they should only be refered to by their pseudonym.
