Is that back all foxing or some staining? I do not know how CGC will determine that. If all foxing, the I’ll go 5.0. If staining then this book could be dragged down to 2.5-3.0. All depends on how CGC sees it.

3.5-4.0. That top left corner of the front cover will be the deciding factor in my opinion.

2.5-3.0 imo. This around the cutoff area for golden/silver age. I think it’s silver age so I’ll stick with my guess.

The cover image could be better. I see several spots that look like color rub (e.g. at the start of the white line that goes toward Dr. Spectrum's arm). I see what looks like a crease on the outer edge of the cover that runs vertically and parallel to the edge. The surface of the front cover looks less than perfect, but that could be the image and not the book. Pending higher resolution photos, 6.0.

I agree but I think the pictures make the book look worse than it actually is. I say 7.0 but will still need higher quality pictures to give a more accurate grade. Also, those are some very white pages.

9.2

8.0

Pleased with this!!!

 

 

Congrats!

8.0

7.0-7.5. That top looks weird then again it is an older comic so…

I say 4.0

8.0 imo

8.0 as is. 9.0/9.2 post press. Solid book.

I’m only going to say 8.5 because I do not know if CGC will count that as a defect or color break. Depending on what they do this can either by an 8.5 or 9.4.

7.5-8.0.

3.0-3.5. Don’t press this book.

6.0

3.0

I would lean no.  The highest sale I can find is ~$100 for a 4.0. There's also a 6.0 for not much more. This looks no better than a 3.5 IMO. If you were doing your own C&P, you might make a small profit with a graded vs. raw. Not that you have to sell, but it's at least how I think about whether it's  worth grading. I want the purchase price + grading expenses to be at least equal to the FMV (exception is if having a signing/grading gives me a collectable I just want regardless of grade/value). I am pro-encapsulation for protection, but IDK if this is a big enough key as opposed to HoS92 (which I don't own)

IMHO no. It's in the 2-3 range. Only about 6 sub-3 books in the census indicating that most owners think they won't get their grading fees back from the sale. Anyone interested in buying it would be able to assess the grade for themselves.

Thanks for the input guys! I was thinking the same thing but just wanted to be sure.

Would this be worth grading?

6.0. I don’t think a press will really help with the back imo.

7.5-8.0 imo. Maybe 8.5 if the grader knows what that other company is…

Cleaning will really help this book. I don’t see why 8.5-9.0 is not possible. Heck, it could get into the 9’s

The community nailed this one on the head.

Very happy with this one.

8.0 at-least if not 8.5.
