Deutero

Just picked this up last week.

Small spine split at the bottom and first few leafs are detached at the bottom, hopefully the photos clearly show these issues.

What do you guys think this might get?

Thanks in advance!

👍 Looks like the grading bros missed the boat on this one. 
 

The clean and press definitely helped but I'm assuming CGC saw the corners as wear rather than bug chew which is absolutely fine with me

@grendelbo@Lost@scburdet@1950's war comics

Very happy with this one and did get it C&P in the end.

9.0 WHITE

Grader's Notes

very light creasing to cover
very small tear bottom of back cover

Mine came in 9.2 and the FC isn't that far off this copy. The darkening paper you can see inside & on the BC is going to bring it down a few grades. I will give it a hesitant 8.0

Thanks man. Always like it when people compare to their own copy, much appreciated

Adventure Comics #283 – Comics Archeology

This post piqued my curiosity. This article answered some of my questions. 

 

 

That’s an awesome link, very entertaining look at the issue. Particularly liked the bit when is says about Superboy randomly blowing up a mountain

4.0.  Too much foxing and insect chew to be much higher. 

I’m surprised to see someone say that low a grade. I understand why you think that though. I think the big chew is fairly minor so I’m hoping it won’t get dinged that much! 

Very excited to get this one. I have another copy but it’s a low grade raw. Plan to keep that as my reader and get this one slabbed. Maybe one day I can get a copy of the GA Prize Group issue 1 in as nice a condition as this 

What do you guys think this one might get and do you think I should get it pressed, as I’m always a bit wary about getting squarebound comics pressed.

Thanks in advance

Regrettably I sold my previous copy a few years ago which was a 7.0.

Just got this copy and I’m fairly confident it’ll be a higher grade than my previous copy but what do you guys think?

Thanks in advance

Just got my hands on this very nice copy of Adventure Comics 283 (1st Zod and Phantom Zone).

I'll definitely be sending it in but I think i'm getting a bit too excited about the great condition it is in.

What grade do you kind folks think this one will get?

Thanks in advance

Only sent my latest submission in to CGC May so apologies for the delay in updating.

Bit of a mixture of opinion on this one between a 2.0 and 4.0, I tempered my expectations and thought a 3.0 was realistic. Didn't get it C&P as it was already a bit fragile.

3.0 (Universal) Cream to Off-White Pages

Grader's notes:

multiple crease cover breaks color
staining to cover
tears to cover

Thanks for the input everyone

@LowGradeBronze@jcjames@1950's war comics@scburdet@TC33@Mars76@grendelbo@Golden Pete

So apparently you're all bums and don't know what you're talking about

This one completely threw me as I was expecting around a 3.0/3.5 and hoping for a 4.0 at best.

I got it C&P and the grade . . . .

6.0 (Universal) Off-White to White Pages

Grader's notes:

sticker residue front & back cover
top staple rusted & stains through book
creasing to cover

Needless to say i'm delighted with the grade but it does leave me with a bit of a dilemma. My current copy is a 5.0 UK Price Variant but I still think it presents more nicely than this copy. Was planning on selling a copy but it looks like i'm going to end up keeping both copies

A few people got this one exactly right!

5.5 (Universal) Off-White to White Pages

Grader's notes:

price stamp
creasing to cover
spine stress lines to cover
wear all corners of cover

Also had this one C&P.

Majority were a little lower on this one but I think @1950's war comics hit the nail on the head and this one got a key bump.

4.0 (Universal) Off-White to White Pages

Grader's notes:

foxing interior cover
price stamp
creasing to cover
spine stress lines to cover
wear all corners of cover

Was also C&P.

So everyone (including myself) had this as a lower grade! I did get it C&P though.

6.0 (Universal) Off-White to White Pages

Grader's notes:

price stamp
spine split top of spine
spine stress lines to cover

@LowGradeBronze@scburdet@TC33@Golden Pete@grendelbo@Mars76

Pretty much everyone got this one spot on!

3.0 (Universal) Off White to White Pages

Grader's notes:

detached cover
light staining to cover
moderate creasing to cover

Didn't get this one C&P due to the detached cover.

This is a 2.0 at best. I'm out of step with everyone who's posted so far, I know, but nothing in my collection with similar defects grades higher than 2.0

I definitely prefer everyone else’s guesstimates so far 

I appreciate the honest opinion though, especially as it’s in comparison to similar comics you’ve already had graded.

I was hoping for a minimum of 3.0 so will have to see how the graders feel when I send it in. I will update this thread when I do get it back.

Thanks for commenting 

Just got this as part of a larger collection recently. Seems like a fairly nice copy.

What grade do you guys think this might get?

Thanks in advance

Detached covers can grade as high as 4.0.

A partial detachment might get you a 4.5.

But I'm at 3.0 with this book.

Thanks for posting.

Do you think that one got a slightly higher grade as it’s a GA book? I’ve heard CGC can be more sympathetic with GA books.

This book is my grail as the Surfer is my favourite character. I already have a copy but it's a UK Price Variant. I'm from the UK so I do like pence variants but i've been upgrading my other pence FF issues with surfer appearances.

My current copy is a 5.0 blue label OW/W.

Do you think this cents copy can get close to that grade?

Thanks in advance

Picked up a nice Batman run recently, so there's a few keys/cool covers i'm thinking of sending in.

Always liked this Neal Adams cover and the price stamp placement isn't bad.

What grade do you think?

Thanks in advance

This copy has the poster but there is a tear and the staples are looking close to tearing on the adjacent page.

What grade do you think?

Thanks in advance
