PGM Amazing Spider Man #38
Bmattioli86 replied to Bmattioli86's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
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.
-
Thanks for your input. The corner is exactly as you perceived it. I believe it’s either a stain or heavy discoloration. I was too focused on the detached centerfold to really examine it but don’t believe it’s a foreign substance like white out.
-
I’ll take a look. There’s so much information to take in at a short amount of time.
-
His vast knowledge has helped me tremendously during the time I’ve been using the forum
-
Thanks for going further in depth with all of that, your help has been greatly appreciated!
-
Thanks for clarification. That makes a lot more sense to me now. I also heard you have to be careful sending books to a presser to reattach your staples, because CGC can catch that and green label you
-
My apologies. This is what I meant by going more in depth on. So if it was less than a 4.0 copy (without considering the detached wrap) then it would grade a 4.0?
-
Can you go a little more in depth with your answer please?
-
Pretty nice looking copy… until I got to the inside. I was never made aware of the detached centerfold, so wondering how this will ultimately affect grade as intital plan was to submit this one to CGC for PC purposes. thanks to all in advance!

PGM Wolverine #1 1988 newsstand
Bmattioli86 replied to hyhhyss12's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Where is this signature you speak of? I don’t see it. this is my favorite book of all time, for whatever reason I just really love it. I’ll get any copy if it’s a good deal. -
Those staples look sketchy to me as well, not experienced enough to justify if they are original staples or if it’s been restapled. Appreciate your help!
-
Hello all, noticeable damage to front cover (tape pull bottom right, rip in FC, and some staple damage in centerfold as well as back cover) thanks to all in advance!

THE GRADE IS IN! - PGM Hulk 181
Bmattioli86 replied to Corvonie's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
This is a 9.2 all day after c/p I don’t see it going below that. Hopefully it can make the gloss shine as it will help it get a higher grade. Gorgeous example! -
This is the grade I am hopeful for. This book was cracked out of a PGX 3.5 slab
-
Hello all, rough condition book here. Noticeable major flaws being top right corner front cover, detached staple on bottom by splash page, chunk missing on back upper corner, as well as some folded over edges on top of back cover that are still hanging on. appreciate everyone’s input and thank you in advance!
-
If you end up pressing this ding out you should definitely repost the results! Nice book.. this is on my radar for 2024
-
Definitely check it out. It’s a really good read!

PGM Fantastic Four #74
Bmattioli86 replied to skillzdadirecta's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
IMO, Galactus covers are always worth slabbing. I’ll agree with everyone else at 3.0 range. Thanks for posting -
Going to take a guess at 9.4 in this condition. I see what appears to be a dimple on the back. A c/p would make this copy look beautiful. Nice book
-
This particular copy was graded a 5.0 by seller. Any thoughts why they would give it this grade? Over Conservative?
-
I do as well. It had a really good story. One of those books I don’t mind owning multiples of if I can get them on the cheap.
