Yeah, I finally got the book back. This is what it got:

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated.

After reading all the estimates plus the tips with the green label, I guess I’m going to skip and wait for a better copy to come by. Because, yes, the cover is indeed really neat. It was super helpful again though. Learned some new things about the process. Thanks everybody.

Please help me estimate a grade for this book: Wundergirl #19 from Germany, 1977 Wonder Woman was named Wundergirl (simply translates to Wonder Girl) in Germany back in the day for whatever reason. Some of these books had something called “Sammelecke” (engl. “collector’s edge”), which you could remove from the book, collect and send in to get some goodies. This is missing from this book’s last page. At least it was cut somewhat properly. You can see it in the pictures. Could you tell me, how this would affect the grade?

While cleaning up my eBay account I just realized, I bid on that one too. No worries though, I didn’t drive up the final price.

Finally it arrived. My favorite variant of “The Last Ronin” by Mason with Eastman’s “default” remark.

They seem to grade these mini comics as well, that come with video games. The picture is by @CHASEnBLUE taken from this thread: So I think, you‘re probably fine.

Thanks everybody for your estimates. Much appreciated. I’ll let you know in a couple of months, what the final grade is including some pictures.

Hm, it’s really hard to tell for me. It doesn’t feel differently but it does look like a scuff though. Maybe this close up is helpful?

Thanks a lot for all your answers. Everyone raised interesting points with good reasoning. This is super helpful (hopefully not only for me). I didn’t add pictures or more details about the book that raised this question. I wanted a more general discussion. Which worked quite good. Thanks for that too. In this particular case though I’m going with the 9.0 because the overall appearance of the book is way better than the 9.4 and the price is closer to the GoCollect estimate.

Wundergirl #30 It’s a very early German edition of Wonder Woman. As I’m still learning and estimated too high with the last book, let’s try it again. I hope for

Thanks everybody for contributing. 6-6.5 seems to be the consent here. If I can’t find a better copy, I’ll let you know the result with pictures of the slab in a couple of months.

This time I have the book in hand already. Makes it easier to provide good pictures. Wundergirl #1, 1981 It’s again issue #1, but this time from the year 1981. The German series restarted from 1 with every new year. It also took some years before Wonder Woman was actually named Wonder Woman in Germany. In the beginning she was strangely called “Wundergirl” (a mixture of German and Englisch which simply translates to “Wonder Girl”). This is what I’m hoping for:

For the first time I’m looking for an older book - a classic Wonder Woman from the 70ies. Now I found two offers and I’m not sure which one to pick. They are both in the same price range - only about 40 USD difference. The first one is: CGC 9.4 white to off-white pages The other one is: CGC 9.0 white pages Now I’m not sure which book to go for. Are there any hard or soft reasons why to choose one over the other? I tend to grab the one with white pages, but I don’t know why. The scans of both books look very similar.
