  1. If he is already familiar with the book then I guess what he did is fine. If not, he is taking a risk going through the pages that fast. I would be worried about the brittleness of the pages.
  2. There are a number of 50's Horror books that could fall into this category, and of course someone will post that infamous Archie book. Are you sure you want to go down this road?
  3. I would also say 5.0. Because it looks too good to be 4.5 but not good enough to be 5.5. (How do you like that logic.) Doh!
  4. Well Mary Jane wasn't into Kung Fu but she is a redhead so I am half right.
  5. Peter Parker 24? Maybe the redhead was Mary Jane Watson.
  6. Lots of wear at the spine .Large corner crease. I would say 4.0. Still a nice looking book for the grade.
  7. There must be something I'm not seeing... It looks 7.5/8.0 to me.
  8. I was thinking 6.5 to 7.0. Getting that back cover cleaned would certainly help.
  9. That may be the sellers grade but CGC would give it 6.5 at best.
  10. Is that a crease under the green box? I would say 7.0
  11. That's a tough decision. Which one do you think you will regret selling the most?
  12. I just like the look of swamp thing better. Why does the man thing have a nose like the Snuffleupagus?
  13. Did you ever think one comic book could have over 30 covers and some collectors would be enough to actually buy them all?
  14. Well then I guess we can just take an eraser to it until both the White out and the date stamp is wiped clean. Thanks for the clarification..
  15. It is an attempt to improve the book just like rubbing an eraser over a pencil mark and removing the pencil mark along with the ink on the cover. Would you call that restoration?.
  16. It's a really nice looking book. I think the pieces missing would drop it to 6.5 but might grade higher.
  17. I don't think it would be classified as restoration as it is not improving the book but just creating another problem for the book.
  18. if you want to try your luck for a 9.8 it might just be easier to pick up another copy before they get any higher in price.
