Startling Comics 49 cgc 9.0

 

I finally consigned the Starting Comics 49 I picked up raw from Ebay years ago, and it came back a 9.0!

 

Wow! and who says you cant find deals on ebay!

 

I can't believe there haven't been more comments about this book. It is a stunner!

Brittle pages absolutely kill a book. That alone would drop it three or four full points at a minimum. :(

That is a sharp looking 8.0.

 

I agree. When I sent it in I was expecting it back at a minimum 9.0-9.2. I saw no noticable flaws when I sent it in. When I got it back there was a small color breaking crease at the bottom right corner of the front cover. I might have missed it but I don't think so. :cry:

 

I think the HOM #174 got hammered too.

Yeah HoM does look sharp except for the scrape/tape pull in the top right corner. I thought that everyone complaining was just moaning as people can't grade but the last month has been very strict.
