    I agree. It’s in the 7.0 range as it stands. A clean and press might get you a 7.5
  2. Bmattioli86
    As it stands, it’s probably in the 8.0 range (more 8.5) but with a proper press this book is so eye appealing I don’t see it getting any lower than 9.0 for sure. Awesome book!

    I think a 9.6 was right on the money. Corners are too soft and there’s some spine stress. Thanks for posting Jeff!

    7.0 range for me. Still a very nice book
  5. Bmattioli86
    @Jesse-Lee Same for me! Really surprised at the outcome. I thought CGC hits harder on rusted staples

    I’ll agree with @scburdet I have a 6.0 copy that I cracked out of its holder and it looks a bit better than this one. Awesome book either way!

    Nailed that flash AND spidey 79… half a grade off on the rest aside from secret wars 8… really good learning opportunity as I had no clue how the rust would affect the overall grade

    Hello all, cool little book for the PC. First time I ever own something like this so no clue how to place it as far as grade wise. What I’m seeing besides normal wear and tear is what appears to be a booger? On the front cover as well as some stain spots on the back. Let me know your thoughts. thanks in advance!

    Hello all, only issues I could find are the finger bends on the top back cover by “Star” also the slight tear. To the left of that in the same photo, there is another finger bend. Corners are a little soft in some areas. appreciate everyone’s input and thank you in advance!

    6.5 for me. Too many spine issues that you can’t ride on hopes and dreams of a press eliminating
  11. Bmattioli86
    Top staple shouldn’t affect the grade at all as long as it’s a) attached to the book b) not rusted. You got yourself a nice looking Bronze Age book here.. probably put it in the NM range (9.0 or better)

    Hey David, possible to see the inside or does it look good? With the deep spine tics and staining on the back cover, I’m going with 7.0 range with 7.5 at best. thanks for posting. Love this issue!

    Really not doing well this contest… bit of tough luck but did manage two bullseyes this round and have an average of 1 per round. if hindsight is 50/50 and the glass is half full, I’ll take it!

    This is a wonderful book! 9.0/9.2 for me
  15. Bmattioli86
    Learning I am
  16. Bmattioli86
    I’m torn between 9.0/9.2 as I’m seeing some tiny defects and CGC sees this book a lot.
  17. Bmattioli86
    You’re right though. Feels as though CGC has been more lenient. It’ll be interesting to see what it comes back as. I’m honestly just going to put my educated guess at 9.2 as well
  18. Bmattioli86
    Fantastic book. Congratulations on the grade!
  19. Bmattioli86
    I’m gonna agree with mephistopheles and take a shot at 8.5… would imagine CGC is seeing more of this book due to spec on the movie in a few months and x-men 97 success. Nice book though I love this issue!
  20. Bmattioli86
    8.0 range imo…. CGC has probably seen this book the most… feel like that BC is going to hurt the grade.
  21. Bmattioli86
    Can’t wait to see what this comes back as… I would lose my noodle if it gets a 7.0
  22. Bmattioli86
    Such a nice book… this is giving me the itch to upgrade mine to a high grade newsstand
  23. Bmattioli86
    Nice book! With the sub crease and other various areas of defects, looks 5ish range. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it get a 6.0 honestly….
  24. Bmattioli86
    I’ll go with a 4.5 on this one. Looks a tad bit better with the sub crease. Nice book 👍
  25. Bmattioli86
    9.2/9.4 with the substance. Hi Jeff!
