Had a few opinions expressed to me on this one, so I thought I'd get the boards opinion.

 

Feel free to post your feedback after using the poll.

 

Thanks

I went 5.0 but it might sneak up to 5.5. It's a little too worn looking for a strict 6.0 for me.

[joeypost]

My first reaction was 5.0.

[CAP Freak]

I looked and saw a 5.5

[Comicdey]

I had graded it a 6.0 in my sale thread....so I'll stick with that for now, but will need to go back and check it in hand.

 

Thanks guys

It could be how the "red" background appears on the scan. Maybe it presents different in hand?

[bronzilla]

Just over all general wear 5.5 nice book (thumbs u

[Aces]

5.5+ close but all the way to a full fine

[Comicdey]

That's pretty good....5.5+....almost makes me feel like I'm not crazy.

5.0

[Mr. Zipper]

I think most dealers would call this a raw 6.0 all day long.

 

I think that CGC would rate it a 5.5. A bit too much wear and spine bends for a 6.0 IMO.

i went 5.5 F - but if that's a light crease through the # 2 i would go 5.0

The SS was graded CGC 5.5...for comparison..now I can think on my original grade a bit.

Well, I'll chime in . . . the extent of the spine creasing seen on both the FC and BC, along with the 2" crease through DD's behind, and the 1.5" crease to the URFC, is going to limit this copy to a 4.5 . . . a very solid 4.5, but not in the FN range.

Well, I've looked at this one through everyones eyes and comments, and I have to agree that it's not a 6.0.

 

Divad has some good points in his pointing out the flaws of the book, but he's missing some of the positives in that the copy is extremely flat and tight and the creases that are there are extremely light, albeit noticeable and correctly measured. A otherwise perfect condition comic with a big old sub crease can be a VG/FN in my grading world....now this one isn't otherwise perfect, but it also doesn't have a big old sub crease.

 

My revised grade is a 5.25.......between the between grades

 

Thanks for all the input. I appreciate having the beer goggles/rose colored glasses taken off when I miss a grade.

or call it a 5.5 for giggles and grins

All good points too, Colin

I don't think any reasonable person would find 5.5 to be outside the margin of error.

I think that three reasonable CGC graders wouldn't grade this a 5.5 . . .
