Not so fast. You don't get out of this thread without a welcome wagon drive by! 

 

Thanks for the welcome wagon - been a member for a few years but just now becoming more active in the boards. Thanks all for the support!

I tend to agree with the .5-1.0 range, though I'm hopeful it squeaks out the 1.0. I definitely don't see 1.5 with the sheer real estate of tape/browned areas, but who knows.

In the upper left corner, is that white-out or a piece replacement? 

Great book to have! 

 

Took another closer look as the photo makes it more prominent than looking at the comic with the naked eye. I looked inside and outside and doesn't appear to be a piece replacement thankfully but the coloring is noticeably different as it's one of the non-taped area. Not sure if it's a bleach, color touch or what. Will submit for screening to see if it is some kind of color touch or restoration. Thanks for the call out, 

Submitting one more today for the wisdom of the board. 

Fantastic Four 49 - this one is heating up and I was lucky enough to get as part of a Fantastic Four lot a few years back. 

• All pages accounted for with no cutouts
• Staples attached
• Nice color
• Bends with color breaks on spine and along edges/corners
• Bends on back
• Pages off white
• No major rips/tears

What do you think?

Thank you all for the quick responses. My main hope was Universal Blue and if it can stretch to 1.5, I would be happy with that but won't be disappointed with a 1.0. Plan to submit when my membership renews in Feb and use the credit. Will update afterwards. 

All,

First time at this but looking to send in some Marvel Keys to CGC in 2021 and reaching out to the wisdom of the Chat Board for what to expect. Starting off with a low grade X-Men #1 but one of my crown jewels. 

Notes that you can see in the pictures:

• Lots of tape - looks pretty old so not sure when done
• Seems to be attached at the staples but not sure if that's a result of the tape or not
• Rounded corners, tanning on inside covers, staining on inside front cover, non-white pages, chipping top back and spine, minor tears along spine and edges, 1"ish tear taped on back that's pretty visible
• All pages accounted for and no cut outs

Realize at best a low grade, believe that tape is not considered "restoration" but want honest opinion of chances for Blue Universal grade as opposed to Green label and grade.

Thank you all in advance. 

I have a couple in person signed by Kirby and that looks legit. I have a couple Stan Lee's that I submitted to CGC and got the "Stan Lee" written on inside cover blue label I am happy with. Haven't submitted a Kirby but his signature is clear and unique as you can see. 

Could you add Sub-Mariner Comics 70th Anniversary Special #1 (Marvel Comics 6/09 Roy Thomas Story, Mitch Breitweiser cover & art) didn't see it under any of the Sub-Mariner sets or Marvel 70th sets. Thanks!

Can you add:

Prince Namor The Sub-Mariner Four Issue Limited Series (1984)

Question - it's a one shot but is "Iron Man and Sub-Mariner #1" from 4/68 part of a set? If not, can you also add?

Thanks,
