    7.0/7.5. I think this may have limited room for improvement b/c it looks like there's a decent amount of discoloration around the edges that doesn't look like surface grime.
  2. scburdet
    7.5 is where this will max out b/c of the little stain on the back cover. The only reason it would go above that is some kind of allowance for it being a big key. I assume the MVS is intact. You'd have to be sending a pretty low grade copy not to pay the Unlimited tier fee.

    I think maxes out at 7.0. I'd want some kind of guarantee/protection if it came back Q/color touched. I've run into this a couple of times now & "buyer beware" isn't that satisfying with that kind of investment.

    9.2 give or take a grade
  5. scburdet
    5.5/6.0, maybe a GA 6.0/6.5. Not sure if I agree on the c/p helping the grade. It's not clear to me that the discoloration on the back is all surface dirt. Could be risky for a nearly 80 year old book with marginal benefit

    9.0/9.2 I can see a grade higher with a press. Great cover, even if the insides are a reprint

    >9.2. I don't see much to gripe about. Once pressed there's a decent chance at the higher grades. Little stuff could be hidden, so hard to be too accurate with photos

    4.5
  9. scburdet
    6.5.
  10. scburdet
    6.0/6.5. My gut is thinking there's a greater than 50% chance for the higher grade.
  11. scburdet
    5.5. Seems like some of the defects would persist with C&P, but maybe a chance at a grade better if particularly well done.

    7.0/7.5 was my first though. The tanning on the back makes me think there could be more in places hidden by the art, but they still tend to ding this sort of thing

    3.0ish

    Reporting for duty.

    9.4/9.6 if pressed well

    8.5/9.0

    I'm not sure Bagley has the best placement of his sketches. I sent my USM1 (white variant) b/c it had so much area not covered by art, and it's mostly white background. He sketched right on top of the Spider-Man—the only art on the cover. Live & learn. I actually like yours better

    5.0

    6.5/7.0 seems an unoriginal guess, but here we are. I think the tanning has me thinking lower, but I never know with these older books.

    4.0

    7,5

    It kind of looks like distributor ink that has gotten wet or something. If it's not ink from distribution or production it would land around 5.5. I'd max out around 9.0 if it was just a printing problem or a weird distributor ink mix.

    Yellowing paper might put this in the 8s
