Depending on the staining, that might clean and press to a whole level higher, and would at least display much more handsomely.  

And like that, she’s gone!  Thank you for looking!

Hey gang, I wanted to share my listing on eBay, a gorgeous copy of X-amen 101.  I figure that with Clairemont doing a signing at CGC, this is a good time to put this online.

Feel free to ask any questions, thanks!

Hi gang, I’m listing a really high grade worthy GI Joe 1 (and 2, if you look at my other posts) on eBay.  
 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/GI-Joe-A-Real-American-Hero-Issue-1-1982-Marvel-Comic-Baxter-Paper-High-Grade-/133996945293?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

It was purchased from the original owner, who worked a gas station and purchased overstock after expiration.   It appears to be unread   

I also have a Daredevil 158 up amongst others.   Thanks!

Hey gang, I’m listing some comics on eBay, the best currently is a seemingly unread raw copy of Star Wars 42 and this nice Avengers 14.

I am listing a little slowly, but thought I’d share here.  Thanks!

Perhaps I provided poor photos initially, I’m learning things still.  
So I looked closely at the top of the cover, and the two spots were just small fold overs.  Black light not necessary, but I did run it up the spine and didn’t see any suspicious spots.

With respect, there's no need for a blacklight. You provided a nice clear pic of the middle spine, and these spine breaks clearly have color touch:
 

Great eye, good call.  I think I’ll still give it the going over with BL to see what’s what and how extensive.  Bummer.  I think I paid fourteen bucks for it, so I guess that’s fine.

This concerns me

Would def want a closer look at that area on the front as it appears to be colour touched. Would be the difference between a blue/purple label, as I think the book hits 4.0-4.5 either way. 

, I loaned my black light to my folks.  I’ll update when I check that.  Good call.  

Are those dots on the rear cover raised at all?  The front doesn’t have as many, but it seems like they may be removable “boogers”.  Getting those removed would improve the appearance a lot.

Thanks for posting.

Nailed it, tree fiddy to quote a modern classic.  

This looks like I’m the fourth owner by my calculations - someone wrote 2.50 on the reverse in pencil.  Such thankfulness to whoever made that decision instead of using a pen. 
 

I’ll eventually clean it but it presents nice as is.  I appreciate your insight. Thanks! 

I cleaned it up a bit, gave it a smushing.  Mr Rockwell’s area cleaned up decently.  

Last one for now, I appreciate it.   

Thanks!

A recent purchase, but you guys would strangle me to know how inexpensive this one was.  This is from the original owner, never bagged or really more than boxed up.  I haven’t cleaned it up at this point.   If possible, I’d love to hear what bump a clean and press might provide.  Please lemme know what you think.  Thanks!  
 

I don’t know if this is allowed, but throw in a guess as to what I paid to spice things up.  I’ll update a little later on what it really ran. Keep in mind the seller bought it for twelve cents!

 

I recently picked this up amongst others of similar vintage for a song due to the top corner   A tragedy, agreed, but I’d love to hear impressions.   Any guess to what bump a clean and press may provide?  Thanks!

I’m still thinking the Umbrella Academy books are good long term holders.  I have a number of those and Darth Vader 3 as my main long term investment books for moderns.  

If it seems to be that low, it really doesn’t need to be slabbed.  In that condition it’s still worth flipping through it would seem.  Everyone scrambles for the high grades, so slabbing what is essentially a reader doesn’t make sense.
