What seems to be the consensus around here? Im listing stuff online, and I am starting to get to the full series / runs of longer running books. So my question is do you think its better to sell a complete run at a premium or a lot discount? I know that it may depend on the series itself, however, I like to try and come up with some sort of formula. Take Sandman for example. 75 issues, let's say all first prints. I think selling the collection as a whole is far better than individual pieces. But then you take Blue Beetle from 1985-ish. Sure, 26 issues in, but is it really worth a premium? Love to hear some thoughts on this.

I had first thought 5.5, seems to be the average consensus on this one! Thanks!
-
I want to say lower only because you bought the exact same copy as mine and this one is better. But I like 7.0 for this one too.

Why is a hamburger called a hamburger when its not made of ham?

And now the next one. When I opened this issue, there was a piece of an inner page sticking out. I think this was glued back on. Hard to tell, but the rip doesn't match up with the edge of the page and there is a hard line between the edge of that piece and the comic itself. It was difficult to get a really good photo of it
Question: If this was restored (it wasn't noted on the listing at all), should I leave it or take it off? How much will a small missing piece on an inner page really affect the value? I personally don't want a restored version, and didn't know it was like this. I am tempted to rip 'er off like an annoying skin tag.
Please feel free to opine.

3.5, Im Switzerland today

I was thinking 7.0 initially.
From one newbie here to another, I have learned a lot from these fine ladies and gents over just a few weeks since I joined. Its hard to look at your precious finds and realize that 9.0 comic in your head is really only a 7.0 in reality (or less, like my first stab at this ended up being a 4.0-4.5, which wasn't shocking, just eye opening). In any event, I thank everyone who takes the time to post a grade and an opinion.
Cheers!

I am finally the proud owner of a Marvel Feature #1. Looking for feedback. These Giant-Size issues are very hard to find in decent condition. This one is completely intact, although what I see are:
There are a few ticks along the spine
Wear along the left-hand bottom spine and both corners not a lot, but still there.
A tiny, tiny rip on the right-hand side about half way down (the piece is still attached. I was able to gently put it back in place
I think its a solid upper mid, but would love to hear what people here think.
Thanks as always!

5 hours ago, Funnybooks said:
Is that a CB fold or slight tear lower right FC corner?
It seems like a very tiny piece of extra paper or something. Its not a fold or a tear though

I thought 7.5 on first impression. Nice book.

I like 9.0

Im not sure I could buy a qualified green label, only because I am a completist. A missing Marvel Stamp I might swing at the right price, but top dollar for a comic missing an entire page is disaster to me. In my 40 +years of collecting, I have some with a missing page or two, and when I come across one, it bugs me. I know thats my choice.
You all make excellent arguments. I agree with Gaard however, its either this or that. It cant be “kinda this, sorta this, so we decide its this”. There has to be a static standard. I buy a comic, its in the condition that it is in, incomplete, intact, complete, or pristine. To me, there is no other option.

No, I get that but it still seems off to me. Buyer beware, I suppose.

Question for the experts here....
So I was browsing Comic Connect today, and there is an X-Men #6 (1964) graded at a 9.2. It states that there is page missing but doesn't affect story. Looks good, but in my mind, why should it garner a Near Mint grading? Makes no sense to me. The comic is incomplete. That alone should knock that down several tiers. Seems crazy to me. Thoughts?
-
Ditto on the 3.0
-
I say 9.0-9.2 (only because possible spine tick), and I hate you for having this and not me!
-
-
Looks like it was a REALLY good day for this one! Oh yes, congrats.
-
7.5 IMO as well.
