  1. Yeah you can still see it a bit. I did the cleaning and pressing myself.
  2. Cheers pal. I think I might have got a bit lucky on this one. 🤷‍♂️
  3. Well this came as a bit of a shock. Managed to improve the appearance quite a bit.
  4. Finally got round to getting this graded. That will do nicely thank you very much.
  5. Hi again. Your feedback would be gratefully received on this here beauty. I’ve given it a clean but I’m yet to press it. Some wear on the bottom right corner and colour rub on the right hand side, but I’d really like peoples opinion how bad the tears on the back would affect the grade. I’ve put some white paper behind the tears to make them more visible. I thought I’d got a bargain but completely missed the back tears. 🙄
  6. When I first submitted these I had heard horror stories of how long the Economy tier was taking. Happy to say it was only 39 days turnaround and that was submitting to CGC U.K. and them getting the books back to me from the U.S. Now this one I’m really pleased about. Had high hopes for a 7.5 so getting an 8.0 white pages blew me out of the water.

  9. Cheers everybody. I think I might send it off even though it’s mid grade. It’s for my own collection and It looks a lot nicer in the flesh, and when slabbed up it should look great displayed.
  10. I would be interested in peoples opinions on this issue. Wondering whether to keep it raw or get it slabbed ? I’ve given it a quick press and a clean and can flatten out the bottom left crease near the barcode more. Also a small chip on the back bottom left corner_ Just noticed the top right back. It looks like a stain but it seems to just be the scan. 🤷‍♂️ Cheers for looking.
  11. I’m going to go out on a limb here and have my first guess. 8.5 -9.0
  12. I’ve seen plenty of copies in much worse condition. I’d be stoked to have that in my collection.
  13. Thanks again.It is for my own collection and it was a bargain when I bought it so maybe I’ll go for it.
  14. Thanks for that scburdet. Ive now added a couple of pics of the inside back cover. Not sure if the blue ink is overspray or just somebody’s carelessness. The books for my own personal collection so if a get it graded it is what it is. 🤷‍♂️
  15. Just not sure about this one . The more I look at it the less inclined I am to send it in for grading. But it is a newsstand and is for my own collection. Thanks again. chris.
  16. Another one for your perusal. Pretty darn sharp looking book. Slight finger bend to the top left but I should get that out with a press. Also possibly a slight miss wrap to the back top left or miss cut. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks again for looking. Chris.
  17. Could do with some help please on grading this book. I think it’s a newsstand copy but if I’m wrong I’m sure somebody will put me right. Deciding if it is worth me sending in for grading. There’s a nasty stain on the top of the back cover and I’m unsure how much this will hold it back. Thanks for looking. ‘Chris.
  18. Thanks to everyone for their advice. guess I had better pull my finger out now and get my first submission in. I’ll post results when I eventually get them back. 🤷‍♂️
  19. It doesn’t appear to have been pressed. The blue dots feel kind of raised. Going off the shape I can only presume it’s some sort of tide line that some ink or something has stuck to it ?
  20. Congratulations. That’s a gorgeous looking book.
  21. Still deciding on my first Silver Age submission and this should be the last one I need help with. once again any opinions gratefully received. Tiny tear to bottom middle front page. Also some weirdness going off on the back cover. Feels raised like dots. I’m not sure if at some stage it got damp and something stuck to it ? Cheers again.
