I'll be curious to see what it comes back at. This is where i find CGC grading weird. I've seen coverless books or incomplete books in slabs at 0.5 and then whole books that are damaged liked this one at 0.5 or 1.0. It seems like such a broad "standard" for the 0.5 grade.

No need to be sorry. Figured it would be something from 0.5 to 1.8. Was not under a delusion it would be higher than that. It's still a pretty cool piece of history and I'll probably hang onto it for a bit depending on the grade. I am curious... do you think books like this are better in the original condition like this or do you think it's better to do restoration and just have a purple label.

Yep. Got it for $300 plus 50 buyer fee, which is what the last 0.5 that was incomplete sold for middle of last year so feel pretty ok on that.

Wonder if pressing will fix the damage?

So I just won this in an auction (kind of bid on it a month ago and forgot about it....ooops). Anyway, have not gotten books with this kind of damage graded before, but given it is a Key, I plan on doing so. Was curious where a detached cover and this kind of damage gets you from a grading perspective? 0.5? 1.0? 1.8? Thanks!

I usually give most posts citing anecdote as evidence that weight, regardless of the website. I will say in my own anecdotal, I don’t have any slabs I went from CGC to The other and the ones going form the other to CGC have all come out the same grade. I just find famboyism of companies amusing is all.

Interesting. I've see several people on their forums post the EXACT same sentiments when sending their slabs to CGC.

Yep. Sadly FAR out of my reach in this quality. Hell, even the 6.5 is out of my reach right now ;-)

Interesting. What time periods are those?

Congrats that is a great pickup.

I wonder if pressing can remove that Big Rectangle shape on the cover and back ;-)

ASM 300 or TMNT #1 (which wasn't really readily available)... fair points

I think we all kind of hate you right now :-P

One of th books in this thread is not like the others ;-)

per PM

Quick payment, excellent buyer! Work with him without fear.

Quick Payment and easy to work with. Very trustworthy and reasonable. Sell to SpideyFein with no fear; he is a pleasure to work with.

Just got a 9.8 in the last Dig Auction. Waiting for it to come home this week. im curious from avalue standpoint, if we think the book continues to grow or after the movie, will is start to stagnate. I mean long term is this on the same type of level that Punisher and Wolvie are in that the books continue to increase despite a lot of graded copies.

The werewolf by night 32 GPA for the one I just bought was the UK versions went for 80% of the US based on two sale average
