PGM Iron Man #1 (1968)

[The Vengeance-migration]

Hey guys. It would be fantastic if I could get some more opinions on the grade of this book other than just mine. I was thinking that I'd probably send it in to be graded within the next few days anyway. My father is actually the original owner. That's right, a twelve cent investment. Thanks!

4.5/5.0

Top third of the book is presentable but the spine has some issues. Major soiling and foxing on BC. Complete? and show well. I saw 4.5.

4.5...that spine is just too rough for any higher IMO...

isses?

 

That some form of disses

Hi! It looks pretty good, but there's stains on both sides which will hurt the technical grade. I agree with 4.5.

 

If you're planning to resell it, definitely not worth the cost or time to slab.

I don't see any isses. You can always tell the household that has a school teacher in it

Is there a consensus among you guys that it wouldn't be worth it to get it graded if I were going to ebay it?

Yeah, I think your cost to grade it (plus shipping/etc) would eat up about half your profit, and I doubt the book would see much difference in final selling price. Definitely wouldn't bother.

 

If the book has any sentimental value for you or your dad, maybe hang onto it? OS Guide value for a VG #1 is $70, and I doubt you'd even get that much on ebay. Just my

Yeah, I was considering just holding onto it for a while actually. As far as Iron Man goes, he has some Tales of Suspense and then Iron Man 1-12. I got into comics a few years ago and I bagged and boarded them to keep them from decaying any further. They spent most of their lifetime stacked and wrapped in a plastic grocery bag in a humid basement that did flood at one point. Thanks for the opinions guys.
