kkuder Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Question for you guys: how much does the name writing on the front and back covers affect a book like this? What grade would you put it at. There is no writing on the interior. Thanks for looking. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It's probably 5.0 range. 0.5 grade lower than whatever it would be without writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuder Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Ah, ok. I’m usually pretty good at grading, never quite sure when it comes to things like that. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Teacher Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Based on my estimated grade (4.0), I don't think the writing will have much effect on the grade, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCOComics Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I'll say 4.5 and I agree, the signature has minimum impact. The bigger question is, does Paul know you have this comic book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10centcomics Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I'd say this is a 4.0 at best. The writing to me is excessive (this isn't just a date stamp, initials, or name neatly written in a corner). Paul wrote his name 4 times and there's a circle around Hulk's hand and Silver Surfer's board. So while it might be technically a VG grade, I don't know if your average collector would pay VG prices for it due to the major hit on eye appeal.

I have to agree, the writing is rather excessive here. It does have pressable/cleanable defects though, so could maybe see a 4.5 once the indents are pressed out and surface wear on the back along the spine is cleaned.
