I'll throw out an 8.0 due to the edge wear on the back left side, top front right hand side, front right corners and several small spine tics
-
i agree with the guys. Is is the white showing at the top front right edge which is concerning you?
-
with the spine stress, back foxing, that small tear on the front right edge & back left edge - I'd guess a 4.5-5.0
-
I see about a half dozen small tics on the spine. The ULC and LLC have small creases. if that were it, I'd guess 8.0-8.5. So maybe take off a 0.5 for that slight tear and discoloration to place it 7.5-8.0
-
that's a really nice copy. Poor placement though of that date stamp If a press smoothed out those regions you highlighted maybe an 8.5?
-
I'm at a 5.0 due to the staples, discoloration and visible CB creases
-
Nice, several small tics on spine. Looks like tiny color breaking crease on front URC. Some discoloration on the back edges I'll say 7.5

There's Polypropylene bags and then there's Mylar bags The latter is kinda like a plastic film. It's more rigid than a poly bag which you can ball up in your hand without a problem The former is less expensive and what you would find going thru a dollar bin Also, the environment is just as or even more important, ie the temperature range, humidity level & direct lighting

bought these (not at the same time) off the wall of my local LCS back in the day. The presser I used caught the restoration on #94. I believe it's in the upper right corner are, prob under the comics code. His opinion is that the book would have to seriously gouged to remove it. So I elected to leave it as is rather than have small pieces chopped out of the cover.

PGM MY Avengers 48 that I ruined 20 years ago
csaag replied to Jaydee's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I think u should get an extra 0.5 for the thread title, though if it was a broccoli pizza then fuhget aboud it!!! I was thinking 8.0-8.5 without the special sauce, so maybe 7.5 as is -
Hard to tell as I don't think the pic quality is quite up there, but it looks like tiny tears at the top bottom spine and bends at the top/bottom right hand side of front cover. I dunno if the front cover pic is god enough to see any finer flaws (if they're even there) If you have access to a scanner, that would give a better pic anyway I'll guess a 8.5-9.0 range due to not getting the best view - I think it's a press candidate welcome too BTW

JOKER: THE MOVIE produced by Martin Scorsese (TBD)
csaag replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
wasn't all that thrilled with the preview shown for Birds of Prey - not that it's any indication of whatever the film turns out to be. i did like Margot's Harley portrayal in the Suicide Squad movie. This has nothing to do with comics, but they also showed a preview for a movie based on Harriet Tubman's life which looked quite good. -

FANTASTIC FOUR #48 CLUB : THE INTERGALACTIC BEACH CLUB II

just got mine back from a very long extended stay in Florida. Bought this off the wall of my LCS waay back in the day. Very lucky for me that it came in a mylar as I read it once and put it in the storage box for 35+ years. I didnt have the money for mylars back then and there was no internet to hunt around for good prices...

I also think this is about a 5.5

Dishonest stuff going on in the Board Only Sales Area Forum...Sad.
csaag replied to KryptoSpidey's topic in Comics General
That's called a lottery. To some it's a 'hidden tax on the poor'. That's when it plays on people's various levels of desperation - selling them a dream with not much chance of it coming true. Though for others, it's merely a form of entertainment. No different than the enjoyment they get from any other activity with requires money. If they can afford it and understand what they're buying (with all the rules clearly established & honestly applied), then I think that's fine. -
JOKER: THE MOVIE produced by Martin Scorsese (TBD)
csaag replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
Wow - what a departure from the Marvel movies. The Oscar talk for Phoenix is wholly deserved. -
Watched the pilot and it left me with no desire to watch any other episodes. I'd give it a 4 out of 10
