Please grade this Detective #359! 2 2

Nice glossy front, clean image area. The whole book has a discreet 1/2" tear in the middle of the top edge... trying to decide how much to dock it for that. Whacha think? Thanks!

@Point FiveI would say 5.5, room for improvement with a press!

Great book! Congrats! One of my personal favorites to someday own!

Thanks guys. I just added a pic of the interior tears to the top post (should have done that before, sorry). I don't think the paper is 'brittle' by CGC standards but it does look a touch dry up there. Does the pic change your grades?

 

[Funnybooks]

no change here

[ADAMANTIUM]

@Point Five ya no change, if we're being over optimistic, maybe 4.5 but no lower  

[comicdonna]

5.0

@Point Five

Unlike David Bowie no Ch Ch Ch Changes here for me

 

 

[MPH1964]

5.0

[Deadpoolica]

4.5

[Galen130]

A clean/press might get this to a 5.5...long shot though.  IMO. 

[1950's war comics]

4.5 or maybe a key bump up to 5.0
