okokok...I just looked at the top staple and there is NOOOO tape...never has been,,,.just a bit of wear right there at that spot....

[gcox-migration]

I have bok in hand and there is no way I would grade this less than a F/VF..that has to be lowest.....these scans always make the books look worse...just my opinion...If I took this to a show and tried to sell it at the FN price...it would be sold really fast.

[Comicdey]

not a fine/vf, but definately a nice book. If there's no tape on it, I'd give it a Fine-

[gcox-migration]

...easier for you guys to say that on your end...

[Comicdey]

I've got three CGC's two 6.0's and one 6.5 right here in my hands of TOS books I just received. I'm going off what I see in your scan and comparing to these in hand.

[gcox-migration]

wow...really?...those guys are TOUGH on a book

[Epic Comics-migration]

Several minor defects. Small creases, ect. This is a difficult book to grade accurately without having it in your hand.

 

guesstamation: (5.5)

[Fedoraman]

Send it in to CGC and see what it gets gcox.

 

If it gets higher than a 5.5 you can say we are all full of mess - if not, you've learned a lesson yourself.

Is the white dot on the Hulk's foot a printer's error? There is a another copy with the same exact mark on ebay right now that is a 5.0 but has DAN written on it.

No tape.

Then bump my grade to: 5.0/5.5

[rza808]

5.5

[mar-vell]

i had it at 6.0 myself- general wear but presents nicely -could be a 5.5 IMO because of the upper right corner but i think 6.0 is where it's at.

5.0 VG/F

[cronoseptions-migration]

Well, everyone was saying my X-Men 10 was 5.5 or so, and IMHO my book is in much better condition than this one. So, to see them grading yours at a 5.0/5.5 kinda gets me thinking. I personally grade my X-Men 10 at a 6.5/7.0 and would grade yours at a 6.0 maybe a 6.5 or so. But, hey, what the heck do I know? I'm sending my book in to see what the CGC guys say, I suggest the same if you plan on selling this book. Especially if you want the full value...just my opinion.

6.0

[Primetime]

5.0 at best, but I know most dealers would call this a 6.0.

gcox, the only way to accurately grade a book is to have it in hand. We're making guesses based on what the scan shows. In general, scans reveal every single flaw, and may not emphasize good features of a book, such as "tightness," gloss, color retention, etc.

 

On the other hand, there is a lot of experience on these boards, and there's a good chance that CGC grade is going to fall in the range people have identified, 5.0-6.0.

 

That's not saying you couldn't find a buyer that agreed with your assessment that it's higher grade. (thumbs u

Please sell me some of your 4.5/5.0s.

 

I'm a dealer so I'll bump them to 6.0s.
