Cheers Harry.  7.0 is fine by me - although as mentioned above this is a known factory issue on very early ASMs.  Is there any way to tell..?  It looks to me like a very clean split..?  I'm happy with a 7.0 but if its a factory split it would be very handy to know.

I've not heard of this production issue before on any comics but I'm far from the most knowledgable boardie, sorry.

A 2" tear on an internal page is too much for a 7.5.

A solid 7.0.

Thanks Harry.  It gives me an idea. If it was 7 or 7.5 that would do me.  Is it safe to scan them..? 

Yes, it's safe. Look at the sales threads on here, the majority of those books are scanned.

Hi Harry - new pic posted right above here.

All I can see from that pic is that it's got a slight stacking curl & some spine wear, however I can't tell how much.

I can tell you it's not any higher than a 8.0 but I can't give any more than that.

You need to use closer and sharper pics (scans ideally) if you want an informed opinion from the boards.

If I said it looks same close up - there's no hidden nonsense - would you say the vibe is near an 8..?  The back cover is the lighter shade.

I can do more pics in daylight but honestly there isn't much to see its extremely tight with great gloss.

No, I would say, I want to see it close up before I can make a reasonable assessment of it's grade.

Too far away from the book to give a reasonable assessment.

I would not call that a small stain, it looks like it goes through the book which has probably resulted in the colour lift. Is there water damage at the bottom of the book as well? At the moment I would think it's in the 4.0 range due to the rest of the book looking quite sharp.

I'm the same I prefer cents but they are literally from the same print run.  There is serious thought the pence ones may have been run off first.  The thing that I think makes this one so great/desirable is the low number key in this condition.  I'd expect it to be 30% off US price value - maybe bit less as its so nice.

Generally you're right, pence copies sell for 50% to 70% of their cent cousins but if the book is really hot I've seen them sell for close to the US versions. At the moment that would be FF 4, ASM 6, not so much.

Regarding the grade, hesitantly in lieu of sharper pictures, I'll go 7.5.

With that chunk missing 3.0 at best.

Hi Harry! I don’t recall which one it was… The one with the "delicate" top with the tear?

It's got more of a delicate bottom if anything.

I reviewed it here.

Nice to see you on the boards again, Claudio. I've still got the FF48 you sold me, great book!

"Just before his death, he developed the ability to shoot organic webbing from his buttocks."

Now I'm supposing this happened after he had mutated into a giant spider but this then begs the question, do spiders have an arse? If so I should imagine (after a momentary ponder) that it would be quite bony. Perhaps retractable cushions would be more beneficial for a sustained crime spree than steel tipped winkle-pickers.

Seconded. Definitely get this slabbed.

I would say it's more like a 4.0 though.
