I wouldn’t. Makes it easier to sell but also pushes out all those “wishful thinking” bidders. I think I saw this book in the completed eBay sales and you will need at least a 7.0 to make it worthwhile. 

You're right haha ^_^ 

I'm curious whether I should get this encased in CGC ~

I was thinking recently as to what would fall in the category of the most affordable key book. A true key book: first appearances, early appearances, origin stories, iconic cover art, classic stories etc. Personally I'm a bit unsure ~

The most affordable Gold key:

The most affordable Silver key:

The most affordable Bronze key:

Strange Tales #180

The most affordable Modern key:

Spawn #1

Not sure about DC Comics which I'm rather curious about (whether it be a Showcase issue), though I'm stumped on what to put for Golden and Silver age ~

6.5. Damaged around the lower staple prevents it from being higher.

I'm at a 5.5-6.0 but it may not grade that high if the cover is detached at the lower staple.

Yes, that bottom staple looks completely detached, going into the wraps. I think this flaw will actually knock it down to 4.5 range OR a Qualified 6.0 .

I agree it's a 6.0 Q or a 4.5 blue...could get a 4.0 blue as well.  Not sure how they handle the popped staple

Thanks everyone, but would this get a blue label?

That Ghostbusters wasn't the same as the Murray/Akroyd/Ramis movie, though. It was based on a not-so-great Filmation TV show from the 70s.

The movie ghostbusters first appearance was from Now Comics "The Real Ghostbusters". There was about 30 issues over two volumes, plus a Slimer series that ran 20 issues or so. That would be the series I'd go for (if I was collecting them).

Agreed

I can sort of confirm the Real Ghostbusters #1 is the first appearance, well it sort of it and it isn't both at once, but not that one :3

Yeah, thanks, but I was after some clarification as to whether that was the first appearance in the comics?

Fellow comic book fans :3

I'm wondering exactly which is the first official appearance of the Ghostbusters? I've been looking and CGC doesn't seem to have an official key comment-label on the vertification page to clarify this? The logical route to be to state that the 1st appearance is Ghostbusters #1 in 1987, published by First Comics; though I'm curious if it's another comic.

What do you think?

6.0 IMO.

Even with the water damage? ~

I was wondering what grade do you think this is?

I was wondering what grade do you think this is? Apart from the water damage there is a small tear on the top left hand corner.

Thanks Jaylam :3

I've potentially got another FN and VG though I'm wondering whether to slab them ~

You didn't mention whether you intend to sell the book or keep it in your collection.  For me, comics are for collecting and slabs are for selling.

Thanks everyone!

Namisgr, at the moment I may keep it but sell it in the future ~

Looks to be a 5,0/5,5 at least nice book 

Oooo I was told that this was a FN/VF but with slight rusting on the outer staples :3

Can we have any acknowledgement that CGC is at least considering these updates as the last post from a CGC Moderator on this page was from February 2015?

JLA #26:

1st full appearance of Jakeem Thunder

Captain Marvel Adventures #26:

1st full appearance of Mr. Mind, revealed to be a tiny, alien worm

Legion of Super-Heroes #298

1st appearance of Amethyst, Dark Opal, Granch, and Carnelian

Justice League Dark #1

1st appearance of Justice League Dark

Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1

1st full appearance of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in a traditional comic book

Briggs Land #1

1st appearance of Abbie Briggs

But what of the matter of insurance? Will he be able to claim any?

blue label 2.0 (as long as no big spine splits or pieces missing inside).  Why do you think it would get a green label?  If it was an otherwise 8.0 with a detached cover then yes a green label.  It's a lower grade so it gets a blue label.   Lots of people would love to have that book, very tough to find a high grade copy.

Detached cover can still easily be at least "good" by grading standards... your copy could likely bring a CGC 2.0 blue label....

Many thanks! But it wouldn't be worth it at all to press the comic before slabbing it? ~

I just thought if it was detached it was automatically a green label; but ahh even a 2.0?

This is a brutal copy. 1.8?

A 1.8? But if I were to send that into CGC would it geta blue or a green label?

I was wondering whether or not I should possibly get his book slabbed/pressed?

Would pressing possibly increase the grade?
