I'd say 2.5, assuming that's a full-fledged rip in the upper right corner. Looks more like a 3.5/4.0, but that's a big flaw...

[Point Five]

I was thinking the same thing. Very nice-looking 2.5 with that unfortunate flaw. Maybe a weak 3.0, but that is a big tear.

[Comicdey]

First blush was a 2.5....but it's a very nice looking 2.5..........especially the back.

 

I bet it could be restored easily to a 5.0 or maybe a 5.5 and with a bit more effort, a good restorer could really make that copy pop. Of course it'd be worth less than an unrestored 2.5.

i think this just about hits the nail on the head. maybe a nice 4.0 without that tear in the URC, but.................

2.5

[divad]

Slab it.

This book is borderline 2.5/3.0 leaning towards 3.0 due to nice eye appeal.

Yup- have to go with this. I think with the size of the tear... it's a little hard to go 3.0, but everything presents so nicely, it'd be hard to go any lower than 2.5.

3.0 and very nice to own that copy !!!

[Aces]

Considering that AF 15 got a 4.0 in the other thread I'd be shocked if this one didn't pull in a 3.5 at least and maybe a 4.0 as well.

 

Get it slabbed! they seem to be ignoring Marvel chipping more and more.

I think #1s get graded on the curve and always are up for the half-point bump...I tend to agree with the others that this is probably technically a 2.5...but I could see this easily getting a CGC 3.0...and as has also been previously stated, a beautiful book for the grade/presents very well! NICE ONE!

[comic_lot]

2.5/3.0. In this grade that tear could be taped or maybe even sealed and not get a purple label.

uh, yeah, but be sure and tape it from the back not the front...
