mbatko_8 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hello all Looking to get an idea on the grade of my Rawhide Kid 17. Just wondering more if its above poor or not. Staples are attached solidly despite some major wear and spine roll. I appreciate the feedback and any advice on whether I should send to grade or not. Thanks! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions Den Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 What a great book! It's nice to see these classic old Kirby westerns in any condition. I'm thinking 1.5 - 1.8 range.

theCapraAegagrus Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 1.5 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10centcomics Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 As others have said, this is definitely above Poor. Barring horrific defects like a giant rodent chew, a tattered but complete book should score at least a Fair grade. This copy has its cover still attached and no missing chunks. I'd score it 1.8 (Good-) As for getting it graded, it depends on what your goals are. If you plan to keep this in your personal collection, this copy can be a nice reader that you preserve in a Mylar. If you're looking to sell it, I wouldn't expect any sort of big financial bump from grading due to its already low grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. 2.0 Almost identical in grade to the JIM 83 a few threads away. Almost the same types and degrees of defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William-James88 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Could get anywhere between 1.5 and 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
