I'd appreciate your comments on this book.

some spine ticks, dent near lower right corner of FC, the 1/4" line that shows on the scan appears to be a dent - it shows on the interior pages.

Thanks

Please let me know what you think.

creases with color break on lower right FC, spine ticks.

Thanks for the grades.  The chipping on this one is particularly bad.  Chipping seems to be common with these old Marvel books.

Please take a look.  Wear at spine.  Chipping on edge of FC.

I know it's pretty rough.  Water stains on FC.  Long creases.  1" spine split leading to a tear on the BC.  Trying to figure out if there is much value here.  Some fairly low grades have sold well.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you all, especially for the spirited discussion!  I knew the staining and creases were going to kill the grade.  I thought you all might even go lower.  Thanks again.

Please take a look.  Wear at the spine and some kind of residue/color loss at bottom right of FC.

There are some long creases on the FC and residue/stains on the BC.  Would like to know what you think the grade might be.

Thanks

Thanks for looking it over.  I thought it was in pretty good shape and 5.5/6.0 fits with my thinking.  Not a hugely valuable book, but an interesting cover with good colors.

Please take a look at my HOM 113.  Thanks in advance.

Please take a look.

Thanks to you all for looking.

Spine wear, some chipping at edges, creases on FC bottom corner.  Thanks for looking at this book.

Small stain at spine.  Some creases with color break on FC toward lower corner.  Thanks for looking!

I knew the stains were going to sink the grade.  Thought it might come out at a 5.0 or so.  Thanks to both of you for looking.

The book has a stain on the back and a smaller one on the front.  Thanks for looking at it.

Thanks to you all.  This was a very fun post.

LOL - not before my time.  I bought this comic for $0.12 in 1963.  It's one of 300 that I'm slowly working through, mostly DC, but a few Marvel and others.  Your comment made my day!

I would greatly appreciate some thoughts on how this one might grade.  I think I read somewhere that they called the woman's image "Elizabeth Taylor"  and I can see why.

Thanks

I'd appreciate some looks at this book.  Thanks

Thanks for the grades.  Interesting that Heritage has an uncertified 4.0 for auction Aug. 15 to 22 and a 3.0 for auction Sept. 5 - 12.

Appreciate any feedback on this book.

Wear at spine.  Some smudges on BC.  Let me know what you think.

I have 10 books I'd like to submit for grading/encapsulation, but I'm confused about the tier system.  They are all Silver age comics ca 1961.  I've had some estimates of the possible grades from the forum.  2 books look to have a value of $1,000 or a little more.  5 others look to have values from $300 to $500.  The remaining 3 are ~$200.  Do I pack and send them all together?  Do I select a tier for each book separately?  I have not selected a membership level yet.  It looks like if I select the Premiere level, I'd have at least enough costs with the submission to use up the $150 credit.

Probably dumb questions, but I'd really like to have some guidance here.

Thank you all for looking at this book.  Even in this condition, it appears worth a bit.  I am preparing to send in this with some other books.  I'll post what grade it comes back with.
