Should I get this graded? Spiderman 361 few issues... 1 1

[Alex19Kilo]

Recently picked this up. It looks like the cover wasn't stapled on straight. I'm curious on if I should get this graded anyways. Besides the cover being misplaced and having the tear marks on the cover, the pages and rest of the book are in great condition.

That all depends on what your plans are for the book.

You should get it graded if you want to, can afford it, and it passes your own personal criteria for getting a comic graded, whether the goals are collection oriented, display, investment, or short-term sales (or a combination of any of the those objectives, or possibly ones I didn't mention).  Largely, those issues are subjective and very personal, so it is unlikely that random internet strangers know you intimately enough to answer that question for you without you sharing a bit more.

If you want to do a bit of your own research (about pricing, grading, submitting, selling, the market), ask a more specific question, or relay some of your own personal objectives, you may get closer to the right answer (for your specific situation) faster.

Good luck

I was in the same boat as you and I chose to get it graded (granted, the fact that it would also be an SS series with Bagley, ssignature was a big factor too). 

Moderns are cheap to grade and it's good to know exactly what the grade on that book is since there is a big difference in prices. For this book, I think it's worth it since the staples and tear marks are both production defects.

IMHO... if it's a key... press it.

Edit: And slab it.  YMMV.

Edit 2: Unless it's a low grade modern. Which this isn't.
