    It's incredibly tough grading your own books. That's why I think this forum is awesome. I think I tend to grade a bit lower here than most. But I send in books for consignment and 90% of the time they grade them lower than me. So I must be subconsciously grading mine higher than I do others. That's not to say that you are wrong and yours might be a 4.0 or better.

    Yeah I totally agree with you. I usually under-grade out of fear of over-grading. It’s very helpful to get other people’s opinions. I was hoping that it would be a 4.0 but that doesn’t mean it is. I’m not very experienced with the chipping on the side.  Thanks for your opinions!

    I was at 5.0 as there is some pink spots not sure if bleed through or stain, spine stress and FC Bttm spin looks damaged is it split or tearing? 

    I’m not sure about the pinkish spots. They are not visable when looking at the cover but show up in the scans. 

    The spine is stressed but not splitting or tearing. I will add extra photos.

    thanks looking!

  3. Hey guys please help me grade my Journey into Mystery # 85. I love this book and it looks great in it’s mylar. But I’m not sure how to grade it based on its right edge. I believe that is “marvel chipping” but I don’t know how it affects grade. Thanks!

    edit: book is complete and attached at both staples

  4. Hey guys! First let me say thank you for all the help you guys have given me this far. I feel more confident in my grading after getting your feedback. 

     

    Please grade my Batman #155.

    The book is complete and attached at the staples. It is one of the nicest looking books in my Silver Age collection. I’m thinking it’s a higher grade but not sure how high. Thanks again for your input!

  5. Hi! I’m a long time collector but still a little unsure of my grading skill. I have some silver age books that I’m looking to sell or possibly slab. Thanks in advance for your opinion! 

    Please grade my The Flash 139. It is complete and secure at the staples.

  6. Hey! I’m sure you guys are lots of these but will you please grade my Amazing Spider-man 300.

    The book is complete and the cover is attached at the staples. The main thing that stands out to me is a blue mark across the top of the pages.It’s more visible on some pages than others. I’m not sure what the mark is from or how it will effect the grade. Thanks again!
