Perhaps my statement wasn’t understood? Im saying as a white person, my opinions on the matter shouldn’t matter. Nor should they be the ones people listen to. I’d want to listen to what First Nations people think and respect their thoughts about this. I believe they have the right to decide if burning said books is a good idea, not myself or anyone else who is not First Nations….

I just think that if you aren’t part of the oppressed or racial group in question, your opinion on what should be done isn’t one we should hear is all.

I mean are there First Nations people in Canada who want these books kept? If not, then I’m fine if they disappear and can be replaced with new appropriate stories that honour them rather degrade them in some way. The argument to keep them because “history and the way things were” is a poor one I feel.

I popped back an espresso so I am ready for these books either way!

Red Rose like the tea??? Do they smell like tea

I also have little interest in this book. Happily have sold it a couple times to fund what I believe are much better books As for how many are out there, enough that if you want one and have the money, you can have it. And probably a LOT in personal collections ungraded and a fair handful in collections unbeknowst by their owners that they have the value that they do now.

Funny, I just sold a copy with the same staple popped although it was just the cover and my copy had no corner creases. I called it 4.5-5.0 to be safe. I believe I have seen 6.0-6.5 blue labels with popped staples but that was on books that were otherwise immaculate. Your has the corner creases so if I were listing, I would call it VG to maybe VG/FN.

I'll safely say 7.5. I feel like there are enough ticks, corner creases and edge blemishes to keep it from outright VF.

Couple ticks, slightly bent corner (although a press should fix). Either a 9.2-9.4. A 9.6 would be max if the press helps.

I'm kinda stunned this is even a topic...I guess people believe in ghosts? And their ability to access technology?

Yeah def has 8.5-9.0 potential.

I own the same book, newsstand and mine has the same holes/manufacturing tears on the back…and mine is a 9.6. These are the only flaws I can note on the book so to me it’s not a 9.8 because the manufacturing flaws are quite visible

I second a 1.8. Might get a 2.0 but that would be the absolute highest

So I am decently well versed in LB Cole stuff…I am curious what the value differences are between issues labelled with the “accepted” publications logo vs not having it. For example this issue doesn’t have it but I have seen copies that do

This. Get the money from both and buy the best copy you can

Bump Lets lower to $195 shipped on the Xmen

I think that if you have two cover and one is a 6.0 and say the other is 8.5, well generally speaking the interior SHOULD be ok and not have any flaws so yea, you might see the 8.5 also given as the overall grade For instances where CGC gives cover grades of say 6.0 and 8.5 but then an overall grade of 7.0, that tells me something inside the actual pages is flawed, be it a rip or stain or dog eared page corner…..something

But if they just put the overall grade as the grade of the best cover, CGC is saying they only grade covers. Which would be wrong. I wouldn’t want a 8.5 book with stains in the interior page margins. The cover can be 8.5, sure, and perhaps CGC can continue to notate that as they do but if the best cover is an 8.5 and the overall book is not because of some other flaw, I would expect the overall grade to be lower

Another one here…save me making a new thread. X-Men 45 CGC 8.5 (previous generation label). Asking $195USD shipped obo

This. I think book had 6.0 potential. With the ding? 5.0-5.5

I’ll throw in a backup claim:) because ya never know

You can kind of see from the glare in the pic where there are some indentations from someone writing on a piece of paper over the cover of the book….assuming it presses out relatively well, I am curious of thine thoughts!

Nor should they be. I just felt it was odd then that a lot of books get the same grade in the white box as they do for their best cover. Granted, I am sure a lot of "normal" books you can grade just the covers front and back and still arrive at the same grade as if you graded the whole thing, so it makes sense that some books with double covers get the same grade as their highest cover. It also would make sense why some books would score a grade between their highest and lower covers, an indicator that something in the interior pages has knocked it down.

So they ignore the lower graded cover (but do share it on the notes on the label) and grade the entire book with the best cover? I guess that makes sense....it is just weird that they also post the grade of that other cover as well and that sometimes the book falls on that grade exactly, other times it falls in between the grade of the lower and higher cover.

Sold!
