What is this in the red???

Looks like something happen in production. Original owner and never cleaned. Looks glossy but the black is messed up there.

Looks very close to my 9.0 I had slabbed years ago. Good to see another one potentially slabbed. Only 100 in the registry so this can be 101!

I'll get it graded in 2022 so it may be 102. I bought it from Tim Vigil in the 1980s at a convention but I was too nervous to ask for an autograph.

Should press out...someone probably wrote on something on top of the comic.  9.6

Yes, it pressed out. It was not very deep. Now the area barely shows a few subtle circular lines less than 1/16 of an inch tall when it's angled in the light. It's completely gone in every other way.

I bought this when I was 13 years old at a 7/11 down the street with my $5 a week allowance. I didn't have a box or bags or boards. Just a dresser drawer that I tossed it in with a few other comics. In addition to all the wear and tear on the cover. The first day I bought it I realized the bottom staple was not attached to the centerfold. Yet somehow I still have it all these years later with no missing pages.

I thought this was an easy high scoring book until I saw the bottom edge. 

3.5

Looks great but there is an impression of a four digit number written in the orange area. It is about 1 inches wide. Doesn't appear in the scan. Only when I angle it in the light.

Disregard the two stray hairs that got scanned. One by Capt. America and one by the Human Torch.

8.0...can you include a better look at the spine? I can't seem to zoom in on it.... maybe 8.5

4.5 - 5.0

Cleaning this book I lost some color on the cover.  Cleaned up good though. Thank you for grading!

3.5. Could be even better with a clean and press.

Maybe 8.5-9.0 but something seems strange about the bottom left staple.

I cleaned up the back. Still has some signs of wear on the back and front. 

Has some spine tics. Overall it looks good.
