PGM Signed ASM 50

[Mac Man]

Hey all, a friend is thinking I'm grading this book a little more hard than I ought to. SO, I'm wondering what the rest of you think. The signature is definitely legit having had one of the SS Witnesses acquire it for me so no worries there. I'll post the back cover when I get home, but it's in pretty good shape (better than the front IMO). Anyhow, what are your thoughts?

Did somebody trace "Amazing Spider-Man" in ink? Wow. 2.0

2.5 - Missing pieces.

[Mac Man]

yes... someone did trace around "Amazing Spider-Man". Not a massive deduction in the lower grades, but definitely detracts from presentability.

 

And yes, there is a little piece along the bottom left corner that is missing, but on the bottom right, it is fold over (still hanging on).

I said 2.5. It looks generally worn. The ink is a huge detractor even if allowed at this grade. Have you considered dry cleaning the lettering? I don't even know if that removes ink, but it looks like everything is within the white and this is a low grade book anyway.

[Mac Man]

Well, dry cleaning servies are expensive when compared the total value. If it was a 6.0 or better, I might consider it (?), but as is it wouldn't be worth the added expense. Plus, I'd hate to chance messing up the signature by JRSR. Still, I initially graded it as a 1.8 (I'm the one dude who voted that way as well) based heavily on the presentability ding caused by the writing. I would say aside from the writing, it easily presents as a 2.5 / 3.0. I bought it from a fellow boardie for around OSPG value for a 1.8 as well, so I think both of us got a pretty good deal all considering.

Thanks, I will stick with the 2.0. (thumbs u

I was just meaning art eraser not actually chemical cleaning.

[Point Five]

Even with the writing, I gave it a nudge for nice colors... 2.5

2.0 Nice sig. BTW!!

Wow... a couple people even putting it into the VGish range. Of course, it's a perfect 10.0 with the JRSR sig

No argument there . . . In fact, the signature is the highlight of this copy!

Looks like a classic Good 2.0 to me guys.

Lots of wear, some writing (not refering to the sig) , no big peices out and and cover still attached.

I don't mean to be harsh...but stupid book to get signed (and on top of that I am no fan of anyone signing the cover of a book)...having said that, I'd give it a safe 2.0...
