I'm looking to get a good copy that get starlin and rubeinstein to sign would be worth it

After paying slabbing and autograph fees you definitely wouldn't clear much if any. An 8.0 with both sigs just sold for $90 on eBay.

8/8.5 I believe. That black back with the crease on the corner hurts it. It's a 9-9.2 otherwise.

I'll say 4. Love that name stamp.

I'll say 5.0

hey guys i know its not going to be a 9.0 or anything like that but to me i dont care about the grade i just care that i have a copy of it, so this copy of this awesome cover and book is good enough for me, though i would not mind knowing the grade, i put a picture of the back and front what would you say this is? also because it is such a low grade for a modern book im thinking of getting dan slott to sign it, is it a good idea, i like his stories and he wrote this one so... thanks! also what i like about this copy is i can actually read it, unlike those other copies of this same book that are in mint condition and cant even be touched without gloves!  its an exception 

It's a good book to have. It has value for sure. If you're keeping it for you I say do what you want to do with it. You could probably get $75 out of it as it is.

5.0. Is that bottom right corner is just folded up? A clean & press may jump it to a 6.

It was the virgin Customer Appreciation variant from Unknown Comics. I emailed them and hope they can find a solution, but I always assume they're simply out of stock or that this is an acceptable level of damage for a book that only has a certain guaranteed condition.

If they can't replace it, but offer to take it back I would do that. You will probably be able to find an already graded one by now for the price of the book plus slabbing. Hope it works out. What's the cover look like for that variant?

Hard to tell from the picture, but it may just be scuff marks on the plastic.

I compared it to mine and picked a few points like the registered symbol on the right of the logo and it looks like it's the same distance from the edge. Looks good to me.

This latest reboot is technically volume #5 NOT 6 if it matters at this point.

Cool, wasn't sure if the 789 started a new volume. Last time I checked, the volume wasn't even listed anymore. I think MyComicShop gave up too & just started making their own up lol. That LGY is the only saving grace to another #1. I thought the 1:1000 was ridiculous, but 1:2000? C'mon. 

Are you keeping it or hoping to flip? I'm guessing this is in the 9.0 range. Probably about $75 FMV I'm guessing.

Thank You! I will let you guys know what happens. 

Good luck! looks like a nice book. Hope that crease isn't too bad.

I'm at 3.5 because of the stains...

I thought about 3.5, but since 4.0 allows minor stains, I stayed at 4.0. I guess it is a matter of when does minor become moderate.

Sticker said VF-. I think it's a little higher also.

I'm in the 5.0 range. And it might be cold and snowy outside, but inside that car it looks like it's getting pretty warm...

That's what made her a Popular Teenager 

I'll go 5.5. Need better close ups to say for sure.

Yeah if you're LCS is cool, they'll swap it out. They should have plenty of leftovers due to the incentives. 

Yeah probably not worth slabbing for the $$$, but I kind of want you too just to see how it comes back.  

Looks like at a 7.5 it's about a $40 book. Slab would eat all of that up. 

Yeah they all had some damage but that one looks a little worse than the average I saw. If you got it at your LCS I'd try to exchange it. I don't think you will get higher than a 9.6 with that.

MyComicShop is a good place also. You can trust the grades from them. I've never received anything graded too high from them.

What's an "ash can"? I've never heard that one.

It also depends on the collector.  I slab some books that are absolutely worthless, but I need to have a representative copy for inclusion in my Registry Sets...

Yeah I've slabbed a few that I know will probably never be worth anything, but they have sentimental value or whatever & I just want to preserve them. I know I could do that other ways, but the ocd in me makes me want everything to be uniformly the same I look forward to the day when I've finished off the last of my pricey ASM books and get to slab the rest of my Registry Set.

My copy of ASM 129 that I bought in May 2015. I just never posted it.

 I hope to upgrade mine to one this nice soon.
