6.0-6.5 as is Potential at 7.0 or so with clean and press. Great book!

Hi all, A lower mid grade copy of Iron Fist 14 up for sale here. Spine roll and wear along with two finger prints as seen in the photos. All pages securely attached. I am calling it a 4.0. Not sure if a press pushes higher but would make it present nicer. Asking $350USD shipped. First claim takes it. Open to offers. Paypal only for payment. If unhappy upon arrival, let me know and I will make it right. Package will be shipped tracked through Canada Post. If there are any other questions let me know. Thanks for looking!

I mean I left a math textbook in the back window of my Saab for four years and the colour faded completely off. So if you are storing your books like that well then be concerned….

If you hunt the depths of eBay long enough, you will find valuable books buried on a lot listing and the books of value are always on the last picture. Case in point, very happy to add two of these for very cheap:) you know what ones I’m taking about!

And now to take a gander at what would hopefully make my recipient smile like a kid on Christmas morning!

6.5-7.0. Definitely can clean up and maybe even press up to a 7.5

I have my CGC books on a shelf in a hallway that receives no direct sunlight. I do not expect to see any fading over time (and have not yet) but if I do I will let you all know! If you have a display area and there is direct light that falls on that area, I would advise moving your display area. Otherwise, I am of the belief that worrying about UV damage should be low to negligible.

This A great lower grade copy but yick those rusty staples are hard to see...

I agree with majority here, with the corner stain and some other flaws, 5.5 seems right.

8.0 range for me.

I am always much harsher on modern books for detached staple flaws and spine split. 4.5-5.0 from me.

I like it. This movie might have too much but in the best way. I hope anyways. Or it could just be too much but the fan service will make us fat and happy so we will love it regardless.

In adding that I think someone dies, the trailer seems to suggest MJ which I think is a farce. I think they are simply paying homage to the classic moment but do not intend to kill MJ. If they do, I will view that as a poor choice for the franchise.

I am also at 6.5, outside shot at 7.0 however with the corner crease and that other crease, I think 6.5 is a safe bet.

I'm in this range also with a little press love.

I mean, so far the trailer has confirmed all expectations so far. Villains from the past movies? Check. Alternate Spideys popping in? Most likely check. Setting up future villain Ned Leeds? Check in my eyes. I don't see the need or want for more than this. Maybe there is another repercussion from this film that Strange deals with in his own flick. That's not asking too much is it? EDIT: Nevermind this poster is accurate. I also think a death will occur in this film (Happy????? Aunt May??????)

Man that looks like robbery. I know they grade colour rubs, fading and the like harshly. Would help for them to identify where on the book. Also that cover is tricky...its wispy and such with its colouring and I could totally see a new grader thinking a spot was faded. Doesnt excuse it but perhaps this is the answer to why a 9.6-9.8 was not achieved?!?!?!

See people think it could be Franco but Franco to my knowledge only flew around on that weird surfboard type glider. Plus he never had a hood. Now could Marvel change this because that previous design was silly? Sure. I also doubt it is the Dehaan Green Goblin from the Garfield Spideys…a terrible character and adaptation and part of why that universe was ruined, for me anyways. No I think we are actually looking at Ned who, perhaps after the Green Goblin has been sent back to whatever universe (or capture) dons his own costume to try and help continue to round up villains because he is sick of just being plain old New. This leads to tension and issues with Peter and perhaps Neds eventual transition into Hobby, in which he could play a role as villain and team up with Kingpin and cause all sorts of trouble for Parker in future flicks.

I think books that had no business getting as high as they did will definitely drop a fair bit (and already have). I think books that have always been coveted and desired will dip oh so slightly and level off. A new floor has been set for these books. In other words, I think a 1.5-2.5 ASM 1 will continue to cost 10K or better. Not a book I see dipping below that mark.

This movie has the makings of being something truly fun and amazing and I am beyond excited. Still lots to speculate on....I feel Dr. Strange has something wrong with him/isn't the current MCU Dr. Strange at times. Just a feeling. But hey...how come we all aren't overanalyzing the truest MCU hint revealing technique which is.....LICENSE PLATES! As seen from the trailer... Now...is this ASM 8183 or is it ASM B183? To me, if looks like a B. It could also be more sneaky trailer editing and the actual license plate could be 3183, but someone digitally added the line on the first 3 to make it look like a B or an 8 Anyways, let's run with B183 first. ASM 183 is this issue... ...in which we see Rocket Racer and the birth and death of Big Wheel. Side story features Aunt May ill and Spidey's appearance causes her to become shocked and even more sick. A deep hint at an Aunt May demise in the film? Ehhhhhh I dunno. I also would laugh if either Big Wheel or Rocket Racer appeared (although Rocket Racer is fun!). But then what is the B for in the license plate? I mean, Rocket Racer and Big Wheel are not even B level characters...more D tier really. Okay well...what if we ignore the B at the front and the 3 at the end in the license plate. Then you get ASM 18, which is this issue ...now this makes a bit more sense to further develop as possible future story arc. I am going to guess that somewhere along the way, we see Ned Leeds in the MCU take a dark turn. Maybe jealousy arises throughout this film and perhaps meeting the Green Goblin sets him on a path and a desire to become the Hobgoblin in a future flick. This is Ned's first appearance but we've seen Ned for a while now...so why hint at it on a license plate? Welllll let's view the 183 as a mash up. ASM 18 for Ned's first appearance and then seeing 83 in the plate as a nod to the year Hobgoblin was created. Mash them together and you have the creators getting sneaky with their license plate clues (before they always just listed the issue number of a character/villain appearance). But again, you may ask "well if it is a B what does THAT mean?" New York plates (to my knowledge) have three letters (so ASM makes sense) and then 4 numbers (meaning B183 would not make sense) So maybe it is not a "B" and is actually 8183. Let's work with this. The number "18", representing Ned Leeds' first appearance, sandwiched between "83" for the year Hobby appeared would make much more sense and still be somewhat sneaky. This is my theory but let's entertain some others. 1. If the plate reads 8183, it could be a nod to ASM 17 (legacy numbered issue #818) which is Part 1 of Kraven's Hunted story arc from 2019. I don't know much about this arc at all or if it could tie in but mayyybbbeee the plate hints at him as an unseen (to this point) member of this sinister six team? 2. What if ASM is not a reference to ASM but rather PPTSS issue 183 which is this one ...a great little arc with Gobby and Vermin. Again, don't see how this could tie in exactly. 3. There is also PPTSS issue 81 which came out in 83, as seen below ...a story featuring Cloak and Dagger, Punisher and Kingpin. I mean, would be a very stretch far off nod to Kingpin as I doubt it would relate to Punisher or C&D 4. The ASM issue that came out 8/1/83 to the newsstands was ASM #246 ...an issue where I believe the Watcher appeared? And Black Cat....so yeah...a tough stretch. But what about the issue cover dated 8/1/1983? That would be this one ...which is most known for being the return of MJ after some time away. But MJ has been firmly in the MCU and in Spidey's life so....doesn't make much sense. 5. It is possible they made the 8 at the start of the license plate look like an 8 or a B with some editing...when REALLY it is a 3. Which could reference ASM 318 ...a Scorpion appearance. So maybe a deep hint they wanted to hide in the trailer about Scorpion coming into the MCU? Again, a fair stretch to say they would change a license plate in a trailer to hide a later appearance of a classic villain AND add a 3 at the end of the number to really throw ya off. 6. Finally, what is ASM 8183 is reference two issues...ASM 81 and 83 ...the first appearances of Kangaroo and Schemer! The next two big baddies in the MCU and the ones behind it all! Who knew!!?!?!? And that folks is my way too comprehensive license plate anaylsis

Not an outlier As is, 9.2 from me. Press that bend out for a 9.4 and possible 9.6 Y'all touting less are roughhhhhhh

Clearly we are all over the board here lol. 4.5-7.0

Fair enough. I wasn’t saying there were not present existing problems that continue to exist. I just think that the pandemic really helped pushed them to experience some new lows as a company. And perhaps better preparation prior (and during the pandemic such as limiting in person signings so as to catch up on backlog) could have prevented these lows.

I agree with this. That centrefold crease…it’s hard to tell if that sucker breaks colour. If it can press out it would go along way. As is 6.5 from me with a shot at 7.0-7.5 tops

I know where I stand with this one but how low does she go for some of you fine folks!?
