    Full credit for using this word.

    "Great comic!!!"
  4. oldrover
    That's fading. Look at the white above "Amazing", compared to the white in the center of the book. Count me in for VG+.

    I did a quick and obviously faulty search of eBay. Not being that knowledgeable about this book, I will take your word for it! Jboyd, ignore me. (which is generally good advice anyhoo )

    9.2's and 9.4's sell for $50-75. Not worth getting it pressed IMHO. Welcome!

    Well, I was a little "rosy"... but that's a great grade, and it's a five-figure book. Congrats, and ka-ching!

    Can't really tell until you take it out of the plastic.

    If they're slab worthy, I'd slab them both and leave them as is. JMHO.

    My experience would say you are incorrect. I have owned lots of purples, and they went up as much as blues did. Sometimes more, if you can either buy them right or hold them long enough. That said, CCS is excellent at determining whether it's worth your while to remove resto. So it's definitely worth sending back for them to evaluate. At the very least, you're only out the prescreening and postage.

    I don't think it's been trimmed... but others may have better insight. That book is notorious for bad staple placement, although yours is extreme; usually you lose the M of Marvel. Yours almost loses the A as well. To me it's an 8.0, maybe 8.5. Great book!

    I'd say 4.0... maybe a 4.5 or 5.0 with a press. A lot of creasing next to SS... some may come out or reduce. Nice book!
  13. oldrover
    I concur.
  14. oldrover
    Another 4.0 here. Great looking book!
  15. oldrover
    It looks like white out... maybe on top of color touch?
  16. oldrover
    That's where I am. Maybe even 7.0. Beautiful book!

    You can send it for prescreening to CCS and they'll tell you if it's worth doing. Don't get your hopes up.

    FYI after a press, this wound up at a 9.6.
  20. oldrover
    This one actually got a 9.0. The power of the press!
  21. oldrover
    Compare yours to mine here... pretty similar...
  22. oldrover
    Actually, that might have been my book. I had a bad habit as a kid...
  23. oldrover
    White-out would be resto. It would also be like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
  24. oldrover
    I'll optimistically say 3.0. Great looking book! (well, besides the stains LOL)
  25. oldrover
    A looks like an 8.0, maybe higher if you can press out that URFC bend. B looks even higher. Once grades get that high, my grading is shaky, So I’ll let others get more specific. Man, those are nice books!
