    I'm assuming your practice was to completely remove tape and place on side of bag.  Leaving tape on top flap-ever, is just asking for trouble.

    it wasn't even tape that got me. it was a self adhesive sleeve, strip of adhesive under the flap. I never noticed when I bought the comic and only opened it at the signing.

    looks like a 6.5, before.  And yes tape is psychic-it will always head for the most valuable book.  I was scanning a stack of books for ebay and it was the ASM 50 that got the tape-not all the $5 books I was scanning.

    wow, so you know the feeling... Ill tell you what though, Ill never do it again! I know that much! 6.5-3.5 is a big drop... I figured it would be a bad drop. but honestly would be happy with a 3-4 overall now. But karma came back to me, as I was leaving the signing, ming chen was there helping out and I got a selfie with him! and, to add the cherry on top, a few hours later, in line for Robert Englund photo op, he came up behind me and scared me and said in the freddy Krueger voice "Pay Attention" and placed his hand on my shoulder! So I cheered up pretty quick. Still hurts tho when I think about it...

    I've done it-on ASM 50.  not fun.  3.5 now with the 'name written on cover' designation it would get.

    what would you put it at before I ripped the back? I couldn't believe it. I had another comic with me and when it happened, The Incredible Hulk 105 and I closed my eyes and hoped it was the hulk comic, not the first silver surfer...!!!!

  4. Hi- Thanks for the help. I had this signed at Emerald City Comic Con 2017. Directly after the signing, at the CGC booth, while I was reading the grading process options, I sat this back down on top of the adhesive flap on the back of the sleeve. There is a big tear on the top of the back cover and a piece missing from me pulling it up, not knowing there was adhesive(new to comic collecting). I was so bummed I cried in front of all those people around the booth and chose not to send it in to CGC that day after all.

    What would you grade it as is? And what would it of gotten if I wasn't a careless brute? Thank you!!!
