Yes I hoping to have it graded. I think it's a 5.0 (at best 6.0 if pressed). No Conserved/gray label in the census on ASM 129 in any grade

In both cases, I don't suppose it's worth a 375$ price tag ?

Would that warrant a purple label ?

Hi guys, I was considering buying this comic but the staples look suspicious... The staple hole look in bad shape from the outside but better in the interior centerfold. Also the lower staple is looking odd. What do you think? Thanks

Nice find Heronext

Trick of the light. The top of the cover has some chipping

Any idea what grade it might get from CGC?

Thanks for your opinion. May I ask what grade and page color would you give it? 5.0 Cream to Off White ?

Miscut I agree. It shows big time. A missing staple is hardly noticeable in a slab.

Depends on the buyer. Yes I suppose I'd pay a little less. It's still a blue label I will try to find a record of a sale with only one staple but it will be a challenge for this book. Maybe another recorded sale of another book.

Will it be worth less you think? Thanks for your input

On another thread on the forum, I actually found my answer. CGC does write : Manufactured with 1 staple only. I wonder if they still do that ? How will it affect the value of the comic ? Does anyone know ?

I think this thread just answered my question on another thread.

OK thanks. I will do some research on that.

Thanks for your input. I don't think CGC would write on the label top staple missing. Would they?

Hi guys, I need your expert advice This nice mid grade copy of FF48 has no top staple. As you can see in the pictures, it is a production defect. Does CGC take it into account when grading it ? If so what is the down grade ? Does the comic get a Universal blue label ? If not what label ? Thanks for your helpful insight !!!

Thanks captain

I overpaid so if I get 4.5-5.0 after pressing and slabbing and ebay fees, I will break even, but thats a big hassle !

Hi all, With a press and clean what's the potential grade you see for this comic ? Thanks

Hi guys, Is it possible to get a 8.5 grade with a corner crease ear flap like this one? Look at this comic. Do you think it was damaged in the slab or the slab was tampered with ? Thanks for you help, I don't want to get scammed. I added pics of another comic as well from the same seller. Was CGC less strict back then when grading? Can the god fathers of grading on this forum tell me if there is a scam here or aret the comics legit? Thanks !

Ok quick follow-up if anyone ever read this LOL So created a new order and this this no custom labels. When I reached 25 comics, I saw the option for pre-screen appear bellow the list of my comics. I check the box and specified the minimum grade. So lesson learned, custom labels will set you back $$$. So either get them all customed or none at all for me haha. Thanks for reading !

I placed my first order for 25 comics Modern-tiers. I chose to have 6 labels custom. The problem is that results in two INTL shipping returns (so more costs !!!). I'd rather remove not have custom labels if its going to cost me alot more. I already placed the order and can't change anything. Do you suggest I just start a new order ? I suppose I have to contact CGC to cancel the initial order. Also, how the heck do I tell CGC that I want a 9.8 pre-screen on the comics ? Do I leave a note in the box with the comics submitted ? Thanks alot for your help !

Hi everyone, I just purchased a FF50 signature series slab signed by Stan Lee. It has a scratch on it however (see pic). My question is, can I send it to CGC to replace the slab ? Also how much does that cost ? I want to evaluate if it's worth the trouble. Thanks !

Makes sense. So for insurance purposes basically

By max value, does GCG mean Max Value unslabbed or Max Value slabbed?
