PGM Amazing Spider-Man 5, missing cut outs
burnsbabe replied to burnsbabe's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
News to me on the green label threshold. Otherwise, yes, it's definitely .5 max Universal. -

Hey folks. I've got an ASM 5 here that's in pretty rough shape. In addition to all the visible color breaking creases, and the tearing along the spine of the cover, you can see that there are a couple places where coupons were cut out at some point. Additionally, the centerfold is detached at the top staple. If it wasn't a single digit ASM, I'd not even worry about it, but it is. Please give me your thoughts, as well as whether you'd ask for a blue label or the dreaded green, if you were to submit it.

Hey folks! I'm going through a modest sized silver age collection right now from a friend. I want to do right by them and get them the most bang for their buck, and that means getting as accurate a read on the potential grade for the big books that are included. I'm posting Fantastic Four 48 below that looks pretty good over all. Biggest thing you might not be able to see from the centerfold shot is the slight staple rust. It's better than I thought it might be. Let me know what you think!

Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???
burnsbabe replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
Wow, yeah. Never seen the restoration info like that in a blue label before. Obviously, just working from the front page this looks lower than a 4.5 too. Either that, or I have a bunch of stuff I need to submit because they're actually 7s or something. -
You have $500-750 to buy 1 book right now. What is it and why?

I've been eyeing this Doom cover for sure. It's SO sweet. -

PGM Uncanny x-men 266 newsstand
burnsbabe replied to comicjoe1234's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Walkthrough is for for folks with deep pockets who are either 1) simply too impatient to wait, or 2) have books genuinely worth 5 digits worth of dollars. -

He's also writing the Gambit solo right now. No spring chicken to be sure, but he's still working. -
PGM Uncanny x-men 266 newsstand
burnsbabe replied to comicjoe1234's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
This looks super clean, yeah. I saw a couple of very small spine ticks and a blunt corner in the bottom left. I'd say get it graded for sure if you're looking to sell eventually (maybe at the next Claremont event), and then sit on it until the X-Men have their day in the movie sun again. If not, grade if you like, mylar and halfback if you don't. -

See, I have a hard time with this one. It's modern enough that a 9.2 feels disappointing. It's definitely on my want list though. -
Just a question I'm pondering for myself at the moment, and I thought I'd open it up to the boards. As it says in the title, you have $500-750 to spend on one book. It can be raw or graded, but only one. What are you buying? Off the cuff, I'm thinking for me, raw books to maximize value. Looking at an VF-ish copy of Uncanny X-men 101, or Silver Surfer 4 in Fine or Fine- territory. Both are iconic covers, neither are modern books, and while one might look at them as long term investments, they're also just fun books to have.

Just picked up three books, and Terry was great to work with. Shipped promptly, and the packaging kept the books safe, even after USPS did their level best to wreck them. Absolutely would buy from him again.

Thanks for all the confirmation, folks! Obviously, I'd love a higher grade of this at some point, but mind just getting in the door much less on a silver age key like this. -

burnsbabe replied to burnsbabe's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Yup. Relatively new collector. I was looking for something near the letters F and C. Realized after I'd typed out my whole response that you meant front cover. Doh. -
Well, I'll stir up some more trouble on the Bronze/Copper distinction then. 135 is obviously Bronze. I'm working on the Dark Phoenix Saga right now. 164 is on the line, though it has a flavor that I can see why some would say Copper. This one I fished out of a back issue bin myself. Really pleased on that one.
