MPH1964 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Hi all — Posting some books for your kind consideration... PGM ASM 14 - Rough looking book, 1/2” spine split, staple tears, at some point it appears the book got folded and there’s a significant bend, cover and centerfold are firmly attached. Tape pull on the BC? Does a press help this book? Thanks for looking... CGC Cert # 3808274001 Title Amazing Spider-Man Issue 14 Issue Date 7/64 Issue Year 1964 Publisher Marvel Comics Grade 5.0 Page Quality OFF-WHITE TO WHITE Grade Date 04/14/2021 Grade Category Universal Edited April 27, 2021 by MPH1964 Posted grade...

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I think that a press will increase the appearance of the book, but I don't think that it would increase the grade. 4.5 IMO. MPH1964 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 4.5/5.0 after clean/press. MPH1964 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilskip Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I'm looking at 2.0 to 2.5, but I'm a tough grader. MPH1964 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassman10 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) pressing could pop the staple on top. The back cover is in a sort of rotted condition in the right corner. Look at the tear on that staple close up. 2.5 as it is. Best to never fold these in half and stick them in your back pocket while riding a bicycle.

Chief1332 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Edges, corners, tape pull, dirty, tear at top of bc?, creases... centerfold looks nice, staples look nice, alignment looks pretty decent. Thinking 3.5-4.0 as is. MPH1964 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
