  1. I was the commenter that asked if it was restored with how it was packed / handled. Vinny responded that it was in a bigger box, didn't address the resto issue. We shall see. Impossible to tell from that far away, but the blue color appears to be different at June 1938 so wonder if there is some work done to it. Here's a screen capture I took
  2. Grades in. They are all tough, but I found the Superman 75 especially tough. Transitioning sensibilities from HG Silver to Bronze to Modern.
  3. Non color breaking stress on the back cover and the soft bottom corner of the spine. I would definitely press the book. I think it can press to a NM/NM+ 9.6
  4. The Batman 1 purchased here on the boards from @Crowzilla arrived safe and sound and I am a very happy new owner. Thanks again, Sean!
  5. Looking for a few signatures for creators who don't make regular appearances (like Murphy). Thanks in advance for all replies!
  6. I see edge wear on all four corners, heavy spine wear and stress at both staples, but the cover appears to be attached at both staples. The store stamp and price stamp will also lower the grade and the loose marker going through the title. Technically, I think this is a VG- but it presents nicer since the cover is in tact with no tears and the colors seem to be rich on the cover as well.
  7. I agree. I have been buying a lot December to now. I generally think that, unless you're looking at this as a professional where inventory turnover matters, this downturn presents an opportunity and I'd rather be buying here than waiting for a further pullback. Generally speaking prices may go lower but this is as attractive a time to buy as any I can recall in the last 5 years.
  8. Hi all, looking for input here. I think the book is in the VG/FN range, but it has a coupon clipped. That coupon affects the pin-up. As is, the book is tight and intact, but for the clipping. My question is, with this being a mid-grade book, would we be looking at a mid grade (qualified), a lower grade, a mid grade simply with a notation. So, please help me grade my ASM 3. Thanks! - Trent
