I see a crease that appears to break color on the bottom right of the front cover. Maybe some light spine tics. 8.0±0.5. I don't see anything that would cause it to dip below 7.5. The lighting isn't great in the photos, and you should check closely for discoloration on the inside covers. It looks like maybe the back cover is yellowed a bit, but hard to say b/c of the shadow

+1

Great book 3.0/3.5 asis clean to maybe 4.5!

I'm jealous!

Getting a press can raise this substantially! MAybe to a 6.0. I think 4.5/5.0 as is

I think a press would takeout someof those back defects. If o then with a good FC you can have a 7.0 or even 8.0!

Kind of a "scooby-doo " cover with the ghost obviously a man

7.0

Looks like some tears around the top staple too? Water stains set my maximum around 6.0, and then move down from there based on the other defects. It seems like the small tears & creases are going to knock this down a bit more. 5.0±0.5. I love me some Kirby too, as the cover photo on my profile will attest. I'd like to see Kirby et al get some of the love/credit that Stan Lee hoovered up over the years. I think it's clear the Lee was able to refine his colleagues ideas and market them well. No doubt that was important to making Marvel what it is today, but without Kirby, I doubt we have nearly the same creative output.

Lately I've seen many CGCs with light water stains in the 6.5 to 7.5 range so I have to disagree with 5.0/5.5..WIth the light stains and tears, dents I'd go6.5/7.0.

Thanks for  looking.

5.5

Might get a 7.0/7.5 with a C&P. I think that's overspray on the M in Marvel, which is a little strange since the overspray is on the bottom edge. If it's not overspray, drop the estimate by a grade.

Mostly agree except I don't see that as overspray...so 6.0/6.5 as is  7.0/7.5 w c&P
