Agreed. 3.5.

6.5-7.0 

4.5-5.0

8.0-8.5 I’ll be bold here.

3.0-3.5. In this grade, the 35 cent marker actually adds to the book rather than detracts.

9.2-9.4

I’m not very good with very modern age books but just what I believe I have seen with CGC, 4.0

I’m going to be bold and say 9.8. I feel like you expect us to say 9.2 when in reality cgc gave you that 9.8.

5.5-6.0

7.0. I think a press can make this book better. Solid very early silver age book!

4.0-4.5

4.0

8.5

Can you upload more picks please? As is, I say 6.5

Moderate creasing w/color breaks, minor to moderate vertical spine stress w/color breaks, corners blunted w/slight creasing and color breaks, upper edge wear, slightly discolored staples, staining/foxing on spine, moderate staining on the rear cover, cover not trimmed properly (bindery), it does affect the aesthetic appeal.

IMO...

5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN):  Back to Top
An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present.

4.5 VERY GOOD+ (VG):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Very Good but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

Exactly what I was thinking, 4.5-5.0

Very nice looking book especially for its age. Nice colors and presents well. Has a few issues with the tape and the tears, few small pieces out.. because of the book I’m gonna say 3.0 to 3.5 

I agree, 3.0-3.5. Considering the age of this golden age beauty, it will get blue label regardless of the tape, unless cgc is a stickler.

3.5 but could very well be 4.5 due to that square bound book.

Wait, I missed the back chunk missing, 4.0 max.

7.5

I’m jumping on that 3.0 train.
