The Excalibur movie that come out in 1981 was pretty good to me at the time. 

A classic!

Thanks in advance for your time

Thank you all for your time.

I think I will clean&press it like most of my ASM silver age.

They are considered incomplete books.

Duly noted, thanks

I am at 5.5 with this one, what do you think?

Thanks for your comments. I was between 5.0 and 5.5

But at 4.5, you are severe grader, man.

I'm not a member of this club, but I'd like to ask a question about the Marvel Value Stamp.

I'm presently replacing some comics from my collection where the stamps were missing (MTU #28-30, for example).

What do you do as a collector with this kind of comics? MTU #28 is not Hulk #181. Do you try to sell them? Throw them in a recyling bin?

Does the fact the front and back covers are misaligned downgrade this comic more?

What is your grade?

I officially completed my MTU collection this week with #15.

The lowest I would it be is 6.5 because FN + is an above-average collectible with a major defect and some smaller defects, or a significant accumulation of small defects.

It is a kinda ugly tear but to have it be 5.0!? Now I’m curious what this would grade.....

I will put it on ebay for sale and use an Authenticity and Grade Review by CGC. So we will know if we are below or above 6.0.

The tears are at the staple, right? If yes, the cover still attached? 

In any case, 5.0 - 5.5 depending on the grader if it is attached. Detached would put it lower.

The tears are at the staple and the cover not attached... Thanks for your input.

Nice book! The writing on the back is negligible.

Any kind of writing is negligible? Is a date on a newstand edition treated differently than someone who has written his name on the comic? Is the size of a writing taken into consideration?

Me again... This time with a "rare" newstand canadian edition of ASM 238.

Besides a grade, I would like an answer to these two questions :

1 - How much does the defect on the upper left corner (the black box with the little Spidey) affect the grade? How many points do I loose because of this?

2- What about the writing on the back cover?

Thanks for sharing your expertise and improving my knowledge!

My guest was between 6.0 and 6.5, thank you all for your answer.

Thanks again for your help!

Well done

Always regarded Marvel Team Up as the second monthly Spider-Man title.

Me too! Much more pleasure reading them than PPSSM.

Dont worry, I will not ask for a grade for my entire collection. After a nice bronze age and a modern age. I need your advice on a silver age.

Thanks in advance for your time

Thank you both for answering my request.

I am glad to know that I was wrong by grading it at 9.0 at least.

I think 7.0 to 7.5.

 Something looks a little bit odd with the right side of the cover. Is it wavy?

It is a bit wavy

I really think that this comic is a 9 at least. The corners are a bit blunt but this is not enought to downgrade to 8.5

What do you think?

Thank you for contributing to my edification

I concur - nice looking copy - that yellow is still potent !... doesn’t look wrinkly either so I’m not certain a press would bring it up or not - the right corner doesn’t look straight though ...general marvel wear ?

This comic stayed 99,99 % of his life since 1988 in a dark and dry place. I think this is why the colors of the cover are still beautiful.
