OP, articulate a question and I'll bet you get some useful answers. This method worked for me on and here a few times.

The Star Trek is a big key. Anything over a 9.0 sells in the $1000's. I just sent one off to be graded and hoping for a 6.0 or so. You probably don't have one in that range, but depending on what you paid for it, I think you should consider. IMO!

I just finished pressing a copy of The Witching Hour #1 to send off with some other silver age books next week. It pressed out really nice and was hoping for a solid mid-grade for my PC. I remembered that when I bought this off of ebay in 2019 that is had a funny tear by a staple on an interior page. I did contact the seller and made a deal so I kept the book. Long story, kinda short I did a page count today and its missing 2 full pages. They were not story pages so I didn't notice when I read the book. So now I have a really nice, incomplete copy of The Witching Hour #1!! I am glad I counted this one before I sent it off. Count those pages!!!!

The left corner is a bit funky and there is a weird mark by the fire that I took a separate scan of. Hi res scans show so much more than my eyes can catch. Thanks!

What issues are you seeing that keeps it around a 9.0?

It’s a really cool book. I am all for getting obscure stuff graded, especially if it is a favorite from my PC. I don’t know if having the only 6.0 makes it rare thought. If that were the case then I should get my low grade Sad Sacks slabbed. Or am I wrong??

I bought this as a VF-. I already pressed and cleaned, so if I can get a 9.2.... thanks for the input.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Hi! No, no rips. In fact I took the pics before I cleaned up the back. Those marks cleaned up very nice. Thanks.

Anyone?

2nd Time poster but long time browser, PGM Star Wars 68! Thanks

Looking through eBay, I found a few more with this same mark. Could they have been from a different print run?

Hi. I just picked up a nice House Of Secrets 81. This comic has a line of color right through the kids and right above the dog that you can see in the scan. When I look up other photos of this comic I see some that have this line and some that don't. I now know that this is not just a defect on my copy. How would it effect the overall grade in theory? Its a nice comic that should be very nice after pressing. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks in advance!
