TOD #1 7.0

TOD #10 8.0-8.5

6.0

Clean and press. What have you got to lose ?  This looks like it would grade high,  my estimate would be 9.0-9.2 after cleaning and press.

Here you go. Have it cleaned and pressed and send it in to be slabbed.

A 9.8 is going for over $270  ! GPA for CGC comics. 

Does anyone know how to open a slabbed book? Is it something you can do at home or does it need to done professionally? 

5.0-5.5 with a press.

I don't think your question can be answered without seeing the book. It depends on the overall grade of the book, ignoring the staple problem. The higher the grade, the higher the effect on the grade. A 9.6 may become a 9.0 but a 5.0 may have little to no affect. If you bought this book raw, I would not be happy.

CGC will give you a qualified grade. 

5.5-6.0 IMO

Thanks for all the replies.  It is a really nice copy of the book, the pleat is the only major flaw. Happy it isn't restoration but will pass on getting it graded.  Definitely presents as a very high grade book raw and will leave it that way, a 9.2 slabbed (if it would get that) wouldn't do this book justice.  

Thanks for the info, was unfamiliar with the paper pleats but now know.  Great stuff as always from the board members on here.

I asked the same question as you about my ASM 238. I sent it in and came back 9.8. Pleat and all. 

7.0 as is. 

6.5-7.0 

You can send them in right here at CGC to get graded. The Shadow and Power Man comics look to be the best of the bunch from what I can see. I don't think it would be worth it to send them in for grading. 

Besides gentle cleaning of the front and back of a comic, are there other ways to restore the gloss of a dull looking book ? 

Sharp comic.

I would still get it cleaned and pressed before sending it out. 6.0 IMO. 

6.0

5.0

3.0 

1.8 IMO

I would still clean and press it, I'm at 7.0-8.0.

Clean and press. 7.0.

Fate Smiled upon me lastnight.

 

Was going through a Box of Silver Surfer Vol. 2....

and Found The Eternals #1,2,3 and 4...

When I first went through my collection in 2013 after I inherited it....I found quite a few books and Keys that Had 6 or more copies...

 

My grandfather would use I THINK Golden age Bags and Put 5 or more copies in 1 Bag(I know not the best practice) but I actually Found 11 Copies of Wolverine #1(limited Series) like this...and Had My heart broken when I found 2 Amazing Spider-Man 129's in a golden age bag that had a sticker on it that said "ASM 129-11 Copies"

lastnight I found The Eternals #1 the same way, It wasnt in a golden age bag, but all 4 copies were in the same bag with My grandfathers Usual "Sticker" on the front...

 

Im pretty sure I went through these in 2013, and simply didnt Pull The Eternal's out as Keys because at the time they werent worth anything...

 

needless to say, I'm pretty happy and Thankfully, The comic are in great conditioning and dont look like they suffered any damage from putting multiple comics in 1 bag in backer

Nice find. Fun to be surprised at what's in your own collection. 

Can anyone tell me how this would affect the grade ? I call it a production crease. I've seen this on many " new" comics from the '80's and earlier. Does CGC consider this a defect ? It has been pressed. Thanks.

Does anyone know how this crease will affected the grade of the book? This appears to be a production crease which I have seen on many books. This one however is a candidate for grading. It's already been pressed. Thanks for your comments.
