Just realised the staples are odd, they are not seen from the outside cover so how is the cover held on ? and will this effect the grade

First time I've seen a pence copy of that issue. Is that an old sticker stain over the price?

Anyway, a 7.5.

Good spot it does look like it

Thanks in advance guys

8.5+ with a press, even though I can't see the back cover...

1. Whoops sorry my bad 

Hi all

How much would the bend/curl(caused by incorrect storage, i.e. stacked with no backing board) by the spine affect a grade.

The bend/crease is non colour breaking and I would assume a press would get rid of it quite easily...or am I wrong

Why not just buy a 9.8 on comic link for $31,current bid till 1/30? at least bid, cheaper than a press,clean and grade...

Absolutely correct I suppose I'm just a tad sentimental (not good I know) about books that I purchased soooooo many years ago  👍

Is that a water stain on the top of the front cover or just discoloration? 

I’m pretty sure its just discoloration (sorry I should have mentioned) which hopefully a clean will remove

With a clean and press what do you think this may achieve

Nice spine I cant see any ticks but bottom left corner shows some wear

Lovely and clean in side as never been read.

👍

Thanks for the replies everyone 👍

Maybe 9.4. Love this book. Just has a really nostalgic look to it. 

Did you check to see if it's a 1st print?

I can not see anything saying second print so I can only assume/hope that its a 1st

Just found this is one of my boxes. All comments appreciated

I think I will cheers

I think it's a 9.6 I'm not sure a press will do anything, that left corner looks fine to me...very well could get 9.8. It's a sweet book, glad you found it.

Thanks had it since new and tucked away in long box with issues 1/2 and 4 

Looking good BUT is it good enough for a 9.6 or even 9.8 main concern is bottom left front corner.

All comments welcome

Hoping this can push quite high.  All comments appreciated

Thank you for your replies guys.  I have added much better scans which certainly made a difference, I did not realise how bad my first photos were....sorry about that 

Hi All

All opinions much appreciated (sorry about camera glare on front cover)…..

Better Scans added below sorry the first pics were so bad 

Hi all

 Definitely in need of a C&P and shame about the off colour pages, but hey still nice to have  

Hi guys

I have DF signed copies of Spiderman Chapter One issues 1 and 2.

Both are in really good shape except for damage to front bottom left corners.

Issue 1 is only slight but issue 2 is rather worse.

How much will this damaged affect the grades, as without I would hope for 9.6 ish

Congrats on getting this grade on a great book

Thanks for the reply....can I ask how you know it's the UK edition (excuse my lack of knowledge)

My bad....just seen who published it 

Unfortunately sellotape around all corners back and front

No 100% raw.

Actually both have sig of Frank Brunner on inside page but not authenticated I'm so sad to say

Back with no 2
