    5.5 and a press won't increase that.
  2. Albert Thurgood
    Probably was thinking what many of us here (including me) thought...

    Thanks to you too Pablo! As I said, apart from my house this is my biggest purchase ever.

    How can you see that when the book is stuck in a slab?

    5.5

    8.5

    4.0 It presents very well!

    ^What JJJ said.

    5.5 (I have seen books with more defects than that get a 5.5 CGC grade)
  13. Albert Thurgood
    I am old school so don't have experience grading above 8.5 from photos. Only a couple of small defects as pointed out by Drotto. It looks great!
  14. Albert Thurgood
    Thanks to all for their grades. But what about my question: How much does the Marvel Chipping affect the grade? Is it true what some have posted in other threads that it is considered as a printing defect so does not affect grade?
  15. Albert Thurgood
    I agree with @Randall Ries that I can't see that tear in the earlier photo. Does @Phill the Governorhave a close-up of this before sending to CGC (either first or second times)? If the tear was not there when it came back the second time, then CGC gave the book the same grade both pre- and post-tear, or they tore it after grading and before slabbing again.

    4.5
  17. Albert Thurgood
    Sorry but I don't think it can be 6 with that creasing near the bottom staple and LRC... 5.5
  18. Albert Thurgood
    I would say 5 and could go to 5.5. The seller is optimistic thinking it's a 6. I do know it looks much better than my well-read copy.

    I have read some posts here that this issue may be hotting up. I also read recently that marvel chipping is considered a production defect. Obviously this copy has pretty bad chipping - how much does it affect the grade? I think the stain at the top is also a production defect - it is printer's ink, the same colour as the "Doom" text on the splash page"

    Bad design that the new custom label for FF has Ben Grimm lost behind the CGC sticker.
  21. Albert Thurgood
    Excellent first post!

    1.8 ST#110 - Paste Pot Pete has never been so popular!

    Ha! I find it deliciously ironic that underground comics are thereby eligible for media mail rates and hence some sort of government support.
  24. Albert Thurgood
    Thanks! Wanna sell it? ;-)
  25. Albert Thurgood
    Oh, is it? I haven't seen a #7, so will look out for it.
