Thanks, it's too bad it has that soiling in the back, since the lack of big tears or colour break would make it a great pressing candidate otherwise.

In which way? Is the listing still up in their archives?

How much did you buy it for and how much did you sell it for?

Very curious of your heritage experience, would you mind sharing?

Walk in just means the same day and you have to pick that option regardless of how far you are because that's the only option that grades books valued as much as yours.

No, I dont need a higher grade. But I would want the most from my purchase so I figured I would ask. Also, I thought in hand was referring to the slabbed comic being in my possession, sorry.

Thanks a bunch Deadpoolica.

Best I could do. And i found the soiling at the bottom of the front cover.

Thanks, as always

No, not yet, was waiting for opinion of people more knowledgable in this sort of thing, such as this fine community. I will take some pics of the back later and add them in.

Oh right, I forgot about Superboy 0, as cheap a key as can be.

Thanks. I have it in hand, I just used their image because my scanner is too small. It looks great in hand, aside from the mentioned spine stress. That's why I thought a press would work wonders for it. Wouldn't a press have removed these spine creases?

thank you, I shall repost these questions there then. Any mod, feel free to remove these threads.

Thanks for the incite.

Just wondering, what is it about #252 that appeals to you so much?

I purchased this book already slabbed and was wondering what the issue was from stopping this book to go higher. So I got the grader notes: multiple crease full top of back cover multiple crease left top of front cover tear with crease top of front cover Do you guys think it's worth doing the whole CPR thing with this book?

My personal scanner is smaller than a slab but I could only take a pic when I get home. This is the image from the seller and they had not provided the back image. The issue seems to be from that small dust shadow at the bottom of the front cover, which is noted as minor soiling in the grader notes. Not sure if that can get cleaned out or if it's what's bringing down the grade rather than the spine creases.

Isn't Damian's first appearance Batman: Son of the Demon 1987? Also speaking of affordable keys, Uncanny X-Men #316 can be found in dollar bins still.

I purchased this book already slabbed and was wondering what the issue was from stopping this book to go higher. So I got the grader notes: light spine stress lines to cover very light creasing to cover very light staining to cover Do you guys think it's worth doing the whole CPR thing with this book?

I do really hate their practice of putting a lot of responsibility on the buyer's end to see if there is anything wrong with the comic. Sure, they accept returns for anything not disclosed, and thus are able to list more books by spending less time evaluating them properly. I am going to a downtown fed ex location today to send back 2 books that they didn't grade properly (due to not looking at the back or scanning the back), it's a hassle I don't need. And this hassle can make people, like callaway, choose do just do nothing about it. Plus, they ask for a premium for paypal transactions, providing further penalty/obstacles for buyers to use this extra guarantee of returned funds in their transaction. It's just a shady way of doing business overall.

Yeah, for sure it would be the easiest midgrade book to sell since it looks to be a higher grade than it is.

I would trust him then. Looking at the grading guide I posted above, he is right for a raw book, on a technical basis. You'll notice that the only grade where a non margin tear inside the comic is allowed is a 5.0. So technically, if someone sold a raw book on e-bay and said this was a 7.0 and didn't disclose the tear inside, then you could return it saying the grade stated does not allow for a tear (I have done so before for other undisclosed defects like chips and stains only found on the back cover, which the seller did not show). Of course, CGC could always choose to bump it up, I personally feel a 6.0 would be a fair grade for this as is, but it's at their discretion. They could be very strict with the guidelines listed above (as they are with stains) and stick with a 5.0. You'd really have to send it in to find out. The staple off on the center spread is a question I can answer (though , I think in your case, both staples are secure right?). Check the guidelines above and you will see that it really depends on whether the staple is detached naturally (aka loose) or if it's actually detached by wear (the part I put in bold). CGC does not distinguish between the two on their notes on the slab, but the defects are different and can have huge differences in grade. If the staple is loose naturally, it can still be a nice grade. But if it's detached due to wear and tear at one staple, then you end up with a 4.0, and if it's been ripped out at both staples, then you sink even lower to 2.0. So the reason for it being not secure makes a big difference and the grades can range from 2.0-7.0 with the main defect being linked to staples. Word of advice though, if you want to sell this book raw then just disclose everything as you did in your post. I would not say a definite grade, just say what it looks like and let the buyer judge for themselves if they feel the book is worth the price you list it as.

her into was a few teasers, it was a joke that they kept missing eachother and you didn't see her full appearance for a while. But yeah, aside from a stint where she went away to become an actress she did indeed become a mainstay, I was thinking more of the tease part.

Thanks, here's another book I'm not sure about, and it has a similar issue. I own this one, so I also provide a view of the back.
