    There’s multiple missing pieces on the right side of the book that go through the whole book. There is A LOT going on aside from it being attached surprisingly. So it’s always interesting to see everyone’s input as they pick it apart

    I fully agree with you. For as laxed as things have become, I have seen many books recently with eyebrow raising grades. having you and everyone else take a look at my books and give me your opinions on grades has really helped me learn the process
  4. Bmattioli86
    Thank you for clearing that up for me

    Hi all, a lot going on here… I think it’s 2.0 or below but wanted to get the forums input on what they think. The TRFC missing piece pretty much goes through the whole book, as well as the other chunk out of the mid right FC. thanks to all in advance!

    5.0-5.5 range
  7. Bmattioli86
    Looks like a 3.5 to my eyes with the spine damage and water stains. Thanks for posting

    This looks rather sharp with the custom label! Nice book… I was eyeing 5.0 when I first looked at the pictures so the grade really surprised me
  11. Bmattioli86
    Correct, it should not
  12. Bmattioli86
    A 4.0 to me that will probably get a 5.0+ from CGC

    If you’ve ever heard of or use Mylar bags, this would look awesome in it

    Subbing or sub, is slang for submit. i was wondering if you plan to send this to CGC
  15. Bmattioli86
    My first thoughts were 4.0 thereabouts are you subbing?
  16. Bmattioli86
    I’m a little surprised to read the assumpted grades above considering this book has high volume submissions but I’m always all for slabbing the first patch its just such a cool book!

    I think this book was graded a bit harshly but that’s just me. I own a 8.0 ASM 136 and besides the miswrap this book presents nicer. great book either way with a great story!

    Hello all, noticeable defects on my end are mainly on the FC spine (some color breaking ticks) back has some wear on the bottom that I hope will press out or can be cleaned. this one I plan to send to my c/p and sub to CGC. Thanks to all in advance for your help!
  19. Bmattioli86
    Congratulations! This is a very sweet book
  20. Bmattioli86
    Thanks to everyone for your help and feedback. This one will be sent for a c/p and off to CGC. I will try to remember to upload the results here when the time comes next year

    Funny… this cover is actually one of my favorites from early ASM. Not sure why. Neat that you still have your book from childhood
  22. Bmattioli86
    Thank you. It was purchased at a 6.0 so the seller was spot on with his grading. Which is a good thing however because I’ve been having issues finding trusted sellers. this is also the second cameo of MJW

    Hello all, tanning and the pen mark on FC are the most noticeable issues. Spine tics, staple stress and color breaking crease by “spills” on FC. Inside is looking good. wondering how the pen will effect grade and if it could possibly come off by a professional presser. thanks to all in advance and happy holidays

    This is a good read and a lot of information here. Thank you. here’s my question- hypothetically I send this copy of 43 to CGC. Will I run the risk of a qualified grade Instead of a blue label? Or is CGC inconsistent with this method or grading. Appreciate all the responses… it’s a lot to learn and throwing in CGC grading rules along with it is making my head spin a bit

    Just a nice cover on a book I would have liked to submit. No sentimental value at all.
