why not...9.4 emoji

So the spine wear effects it or? Trying to understand how it works . And I assume a press would do nothing right ?

Hey what do you guys think this would be? Not sure what the spine does to a grade no ticks just rough parts it seems . 

Came back as a 6!

Nah.  Not worth the expense...IMO.

As in it might not get to a 9.8, then you'd be wasting money to have it grade 9.4 or 9.6.  You're call of course.  GPA 90 day average for a 9.8 is about $75 if you're feeling lucky. 

Think it has potential for the 9.8?

9.4.  Looks better than my copy. 

Should I bother with a press?

It's in nice shape...9.4. Please don't grade it though or ever spend more than $1 on one. 

Awe why you say that ? I loved Wildstorm 

Found this one in a dollar box but it looks like it’s in really nice shape .

Hey lmk what you think on this one 

Hey what will this tear to do the grade ?

If you love it, go for it! It’s a 7.5-8.0 book for me and the kind of book I’m always happy to have in the PC

For sure , it’s already in my collection . my entire run is mostly mid grades for the first 250 issues or so . Just was debating getting a high grade for the signature . An 8.0 isn’t terrible

A bad wrap may lead to some people who wouldn't be willing to purchase it. I don't think that CGC factors that much into the grade, especially mid-level grades.

7.5 is what I think.

I’m not really concerned about resell . I was seeing if I had a decent enough book to get signed by Miller 

Does the odd way the cover would up being stapled hurt this book? What would it grade as ?

Was wondering how bad that corner hurts the book. 
 

Hey was wondering what this would grade up as? The back top is a bit dirty but I assume a clean would fix that . 

So I got this at a show today and didn’t check the back foolishly . Wondering how much a mark like this in the back would harm the grade? It doesn’t break through the cover . 
 

thanks 

Hey what you think this is grade wise ? 
 

Hey was going through an old box abs found this . Seems to be going for money at high grade . Was wondering how high this was .

I wouldn't bother with pressing.  It will help minimally and grade at 4.0ish at best...IMO.

Yea I’ll just look for a nicer copy to have slabbed

A press might help here, but it should be done by an expert...and that there isn't ink-breakage.  I'll go 4.5ish if pressed.

I would get it done via CGC , they are good I assume ?

I'd say this book could get a 6.5. My only concern would be the staining on the back cover. It seems CGC is being really strict on staining, these days. The front of the book looks pretty good, though. I'd just hate to see you get a lower grade because of the back cover, when the front cover is so obviously a .5 higher grade, or maybe more. The book could always benefit from a press. However, you have to decide whether a press that could potentially garner a 7.5 is worth your extra effort, based on value. Personally, I held out for a 9.2 of this issue which I bought already slabbed off of eBay for about $75.00 in 2019. I happen to love Frank Millers work, as well. I owned a raw copy of this book when I was a kid. it is a great issue, with a great story, and excellent art. PPSSM 27 is Frank Millers first work on Daredevil, too.

Thanks , yea the higher grades are not going for too much maybe I should follow your lead .

Hey I love frank Miller and Daredevil so I wanted to get this issue slabbed . Is it worth a press and a slab like this ? What would the grade be ? Should I just find a nicer copy to slab ?

side note which issues in the Miller run do you think deserve to be slabbed ?

agreed unless the book was a very expensive key that would proportionally benefit from a grade bump or two

Don’t think it will ever go up ? Especially with DD coming to the proper MCU? It’s already a $100 or so book , no?

Is the expense of a cleaning and press worth a 6.0-6.5?

 

Well I only paid 20 for the issue . Was thinking of getting it slabbed anyway. Getting the first 19 issues slabbed . Then seeing about other issues
