    Sometimes, things like that are still not correct for various reasons.

    From Mike's Amazing World:

    I agree, as are these. :bigsmile: Advance notices are often "wish" dates. They are all just marketing a product in which they all have a pecuniary interest $ (No offense to Mike) :foryou: Who happens to list all of his sources (to his credit) although his conclusion, however implied, may also be erroneous.

    Thor #337

    in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?

    I have never had anything graded, and don’t know what I don’t know. My collection has been sitting in a storeroom for 30 years, curious what people think of this Thor #337, never read, probably never opened before I took one of these pictures.

    This looks like a great candidate to send in to CGC . . . as long as you can put up with the wait time - Nize copy!

    Got a handful of SA Flash issues (non-keys) at an antique store over the weekend.  They look to me to be in the 4.0-5.0 range under normal conditions, but they all also have 3-hole punches along the spine (kept in a 3-ring binder at some point).  My question is to what degree do these kinds of holes affect the grades of books like these?  And does CGC give a blue label at a lower grade, or is this the kind of thing where they would give a green Qualified label in the 4.0-5.0 range?  Thanks!

    Edit: not really looking for any specific grade on any specific book; just a general question on to what degree these kinds of holes affect a grade on any given book?

    Nice find! :applause: Don't really care personally what CGC would think about them. :sumo:

    7.5 OW to W; The light dirt on the edges of the BC will come off with a white gum eraser. Assuming you don't know that, Pentel makes a nice pencil-sized one, that one can easily manage a very light cleaning with a little practice. Practice cleaning a book that has very little meaning to you first. You may even bring it up to a solid 8.0, although the light corner wear and creases might limit it at 7.5.

    * Even though the dirt shouldn't affect the grade, you'll appreciate the difference.
