  1. Tell us how you really feel, lol. I give it a 3.5. I personally don't mind buying a lower grade comic because it gives me a chance to decide if I want to buy a higher quality book at a later time and I can always resale it once I upgrade.
  2. This is just my opinion on what I see that keeps this from being a 9.2. To me anything 9.0 and over is NM. When I look at this book it is very nice and has great colors and just by looking at it I feel that it's an 8.0. Upon closer inspection I see that theres some spine issues, mainly a few dents and color breaking tics to go along with that ding on the top left corner. Even with all that I wouldn't feel too uncomfortable saying it's an 8.0. Once you look at the back though you see that the back isn't smooth, it's very dirty, and crinkly. For me personally I wouldn't feel honest trying to pass it off as a 9.2. A 9.0 and above to me should look like it came off the rack for the most part. Thats why I think it's a 7.0 and possibly a 7.5. I'm not an expert and theres more qualified people on here to explain the process of grading. I'm just on here cause it's fun. Hope this helped a little.
  3. Sweet book. It looks like an 8.5 to me, CGC will probably grade it as an 8.0, and my comic shop would grade it as a 6.5 😁
  4. Sweet cover, I'll say a 6.5 just because of the spine issues.
  5. I'm leaning more towards a 7.0. Love those obscure books.
  6. This is a tough one. The front cover gives me a 7.0 vibe but that back is a 4.5-5.0 to me. I'm gonna split it and give it a 6.0. Wouldn't be surprised if they give you a 6.5 though.
  7. I was just speaking in general. Even for books that aren't keys. Let's say a book that I bought early last year for $25 I'll see selling for $50-$75 on average now. I agree with you though that was an awesome buy for $100.
  8. Lol, no kidding. That miswrap is really throwing me off but I'm gonna give it an 8.0. Nice that you got the tatooz version.
  9. That's one good looking book. I have a few silver age books that have a nice rich color. Some of those books just had a good quality print. I dont think anything has been done to it imo. I wouldn't try to clean the front I would maybe do a light cleaning of the white areas on the back cover. All that being said I would grade it as an 8.0-8.5 just because it looks so much nicer than the 7.5's I have.
  10. That's a good looking 7.0. Looks better than some 7.5's that I have, especially if you clean the back.
  11. It seems to be happening with alot of books lately. It's like out of nowhere the price just shoots up. I dont mind just as long as they're the books that I have😉
  12. Not a 9.6 but a 9.2 isn't out of the question
  13. Easy 6.5. A 7.0 if the grading gods are smiling down on you.
  14. I agree. Cool cover and slabbing it always makes a book look better.
  15. I feel more comfortable grading silver and golden age but I'd say this is at least a 9.2. I didnt catch those scuffs at first.
  16. If it didnt have that stain I'd say it was a solid 7.5. I'm gonna say 6.0 taking that stain I to consideration. I'd still love to have that book stain and all. It's not even noticeable to me from the front.
  17. That's a really good looking 3.5 or a questionable 4.0. Cool book either way.
