PGM Sgt Fury #13

I am trying to learn how to grade....bought Overstreet to help.

The first one has the front cover overlapped to the back and a small piece off the upper left corner.I graded it 4.0

The second one has a 1/2 rip in the upper left corner and i graded this one 4.0 also.

How did I do?

Thank you very much

I think you're in the ballpark. I'd go 3.5 on both of them, just because the accumulation of defects, mostly creases and chips, seem a tad much for a straight VG. You might get away with the tear or the piece missing on an otherwise tighter book, but there's also a lot of general wear.

 

That's a great issue by the way. A true classic!

I'd say 3.0 and 3.5 respectively...

Bear in mind that Overstreet's and CGC have slightly different grading protocols...In general, I'd say CGC is about 1/2 to 1-point stricter, all things being equal.

Per pure Overstreet guide, I'd go 3.5 and 4.0 respectively...

Ditto to TR's

This is a good point to consider.

I agree with the above grades. Man I love that cover.

3.5 for both

3.5

3.0

I'm thinking that both are in the 3.5 range...........

 

Very nice colors and gloss on both (especially the first one).

 

one of my favorite marvel covers of all time..........
