I'd give it a 6.5. The top of the cover appears to have some damage and the back top lift corner has a small bend. The TRC on the front cover looks kind of soft but that could be because of the lighting. Multiple color breaking cases on the spine.

I'm leaning towards a 7.0. Nice copy.

I was going to post something but...

Got it confused with another book. It was that Zatanna book. BA#12 is Batman Adventures #12. That wasn't your book.

I find this both hilarious and sad. This book looked like the corner was still attached in the pictures you posted on your other threads, but now it fell off. If you were tinkering with it to make it look better, like what you did with your BA#12, then maybe you should leave that type of work to the pros.

8.0 to 8.5, but a good candidate for C&P.

9.0-9.2.

Looks like an 8.0 on the front, but that back corner crunch drops it. I'd say it's in the VG/FN range (5.0).

VG (4.0).

Looks like a VG+ (4.5).

.5

Fine- (5.5)

I don't think they're is much value in those Archie's. I collect Archie's and I didn't see any issue that were highly collected so most are probably $1 to $2 each. Cheryl blossom early appearances and 1st and 2nd Vampironica are worth grading if you have it. Also swimsuit covers are sometimes worth a few dollars more, but there is so much hype on these books that most probably won't hold much value after the initial pump and dump.

My favorite series when I was a kid was marvel universe. I started with #5, but eventually got the earlier issues.

So based on your own opinion, not what you read on-line, how is grading killing the hobby.

Didn't you just get into the hobby? I'm curious as how someone who is new to the hobby think comic grading kills the hobby when it was here before you even started. I can see how the hobby has changed for those that were in it before the grading company came along, but not for someone who just started since the grading company were already in existence when before they even started.

Yup. It should be reported. When I sold on ebay, I sold about 150 books. I had a spreadsheet listing what I sold, minus my cost and expenses, and listed then for gains.

Nor was allowing submitters to be their own witnesses.

I wouldn't take the chance on getting it graded. I had a spiderman 1 that had a partial spine split come back with complete spine split and detached covers since the back cover popped off the staples during grading, similar to how your staples look.

As mentioned above, it's a variant edition that reprints the first two issues. They could probably be a notation about it reprinting both books but I don't think it'll be called #1 and #2 since the bulletproof edition is both books included in one book.

I don't understand the desperation why you feel you need to post your WTB here. There are other sites available that have many more sellers than here, such as eBay, with a wider selection of books. While the 50 post counts doesn't prevent scammers from getting through, I think a person's conduct can be a red flag to many sellers.

Seeing how you took a nice copy of a pretty sought after Zatanna book, and turned it into a bad looking copy, I'd say leave the work to the professionals unless you start with lower value books.
