PGM Silver Surfer #1

[NuffSaid57]

Originally purchased this one as NM from Robert Bell about 35 years ago. Besides the corner crease it has a 1/2 - 3/4" spine split that I would swear mostly materialized on its own during storage over the last 20 years. Otherwise this book would be close to a VF-. Trying to decide whether this should make my first CGC submission. Does anyone think these defects would result in a grade much below 4.0?

I wouldn't submit it. My guess is around 6.0

5.5

With that spine split, I couldn't go higher than 4.5.....

[Mr.Diggler]

I agree with 4.5

4.5

I would not submit it either. You are probably better off selling it raw on ebay as F/ F+. Looks CGC 4.5 to me.

Textbook 4.0...

Thanks for all the opinions! I tend to agree it is a textbook 4.0 to 4.5 on a good day. Only reason I am considering grading is that I think the book is key enough that if I ever decide to sell no buyer would have to guess whether I am grading if fairly. Just don't want to be surprised with a really low ball grade.

4.5

That spine split is a grade killer. 3.5-4.0 because of it.

 

I have to say, though, that's about the best 4.0 you could hope for in alot of respects. My SS1 has a similiar spine split and you can't really tell in the mylar from a distance so it displays pretty nicely.
