Which book would you choose?

[VintageComics]

I'm going to go against the grain.

 

I can't see hosted pics and the scans that count emailed me are not very clean on my POS moniter but I would say that the white pager may be a better book.

 

2 reasons.

 

1) White pages. Always a plus. Especially as books get older.

2) The chipping accounts for the reason the book grades a 5.0, that means that otherwise the book may be stronger at the staples, centerfold etc.

 

The 5.0 ow/w seems to have more wear to bring the book down to the 5.0 grade so not as an appealing copy over all.

 

That is what my eyes see. You need to choose what looks better to you.

Keep in mind that this is a fairly plentiful book and you should be able to find one at any time in most grades so biding your time for the right book or right price is to your advantage.

Does CGC downgrade for Marvel chipping?

Before I saw the scans I would have said the OW/W copy without marvel chipping. But after seeing the scans I'd have to go with the White copy....just looks so much better overall.

 

And Count....congrats on your 2000th post!

Every piece that is missing causes a drop in grade. The grade depends on how much is missing.

Ah. So no deduction for pre-Marvel chipping?

After seeing the scans I would say the White pager. The colors on it are much nicer than the ow-w copy. (thumbs u

Plus who doesn't love Marvel chipping ......oh wait everybody

 

...I would still go with the White pager. Just a better looking copy

I'm leaning towards the white as it does seem like a cleaner copy but I hate chipping soooo much.

 

I'm just getting antsy..I want my grail

No chipping. Not much of a difference between ow/w and w pages to justify the presence of chipping for me.

Is that slight foxing on the back of the WPager

There is, again depends on how much. I've seen a 9.6 with tiny pre chipping and an 8.0 with tearing (but no pieces missing) all the way around.

 

Judgment call based on size/quantity.

Pass on both copies & keep looking. If something about either book bothers you...it's going to bother you even more once you shell out the cash.

Thanks for the 411.

I hate the chipping look. Pieces are missing from the edge. While the White page does have better colors, I would really hate looking at that right side

Yes. That's what the notes say.

I dont do foxing unless its a rare GA book

The book w/ WP looks much cleaner.Even the back cover has more color to it.But that chipping doesn't do it for me.If I had to pick one and only one I would have to go with the OW.Either way this is an excellent choice to have.But why not hold off ,save your $$ and get one you want for sure down the road??Who knows you might even come across a higher grade.
