I was thinking that it might be 2.0 at the best with that tear. I don't disagree with the 2.5 or even 3.0 WITHOUT the rip, but this is exactly why I wanted to ask the group. I am (slightly) encouraged by the 2.5 comments, but Foggy's comment is exactly where my concern was. Does anyone have any CGC experience with a 3+" tear? If I was pretty sure I would get 2.0 or better, I think I would slab it. I also have thought along the same lines as @Not A Clone on preventing myself from making it worse. I just think flipping it raw is easier when under 2.0. I want a slabbed 2.0 or better for the long haul.

Let me know if you're selling. It would go nicely in my run

I’ll take this one

I have Hulk 2 - 6 (still searching for a #1 I can afford...). 3 - 6 are all graded. I have been thinking about sending my #2 in for grading, but it's got a major issue. First, the good. It's all there and well attached. It's reasonably flat and tight, and the colors are ok. Pages are supple, and there aren't any real pieces missing (some Marvel chipping, but not too bad). However. There is a big tear in the front cover. It's maybe 3 - 3.5". It also looks like it had tape on it once upon a time. The tape is gone, but you can tell something was there. Let me know what you think!

Now, for what you really were looking for, I would call it 4.5 from what I can see. How tight is the cover attached?

First of all,

I'll try 20% off for about 24 hours or so. Thanks for looking.

I will take the Hulk book as well.

I picked up a copy of Teen Titans 1 from David. Fantastic book that was tightly graded. Great transaction from my end.

Bump. Happy to hear offers.

Last book is a copy of Fightin' Marines #6 from St. John in 1952. This one features a Matt Baker cover, and (I believe) the 5th appearance of Canteen Kate. She gets ahold of a flamethrower in this one. Very sharp and pretty copy with one inexplicable issue. A previous owner stitched laces through the spine. This WAS NOT necessary. Everything appears to be attached and secure. This guy did this to many of his books, and a local dealer ended up with a stack of them. I bought this one because I just don't see them. There were a few other desirable issue that I passed on, but I couldn't pass up Kate. Without the lacing, it appears to be no worse than 5.0, and quite possibly better. The cover is flat and nice with only some light creasing on the bottom front right corner. I think the lacing drops this to 2.0 - 2.5 (???), but your mileage may vary. I personally find this MUCH less of a problem than three ring binder hole punches (which can get 3.0 from CGC, unless I am mistaken), but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It appears you could easily remove the lacing, but you would have a bunch of tiny holes through the book. I think this is better. Only five of these on the census, guys. I am going to start this one at $90. But, I am willing to entertain offers. Just know that an unconditional "take it" posted before any "take it per PM" absolutely rules. Let me know if you have questions, or need more pics.

Next up is a Journey Into Unknown Worlds #30, a nice precode horror Atlas book. It's in 3.0 shape with a couple pieces missing from the top and bottom spine, and the front corners. Please review the pics for details. Otherwise, this one is pretty nice, with a great Maneely cover. Everything is there and attached, though the cover is showing some looseness. $60

First up is a nice Patsy And Hedy #56. This book would be in the 6.5 or better range except for a bottom front corner dog ear that has partially split. Please see the pics. The dog ear extends in the first six pages, but the split only extends in for the first three (getting progressively smaller). This is clearly the biggest issue with the book. I am calling it 3.5 at this point, but looks nicer. $17

Three books only today...let's see if we can make this quick. Though, one of them might be difficult. Shipping will be at the cost of the buyer. I will ship outside the US. Not trying to make any money on shipping, so I am happy to work with you, but 100% of the cost will be on you. PayPal is easiest, but I'll take a check or MO if that's what you want. I'll accept returns, but shipping is on the buyer unless I made an error in the listing. First in the thread wins, and those would trump any ongoing PM negotiations. No buyers from the bad lists.
