Amazing Fantasy #15 Club

[Clay Fraser-migration]

Are you planning to upgrade again? I would love to have an 8.0, hoewever, the price starts escalting quite quickly after 7.0. I have to admit that book looks like a 7.5.

[peewee22]

Is that the copy from the most recent CLINK auction? Steller book !

 

Nope. That book is owned by another board member and posted previously in this thread. This book was bought raw by the previous owner and slabbed by him. It's a previously unknown copy.

 

 

Gorgeous copy Roy !!

[VintageComics]

Thanks guys. I agree it's a really nice looking copy and I'm a proud owner.

Awesome copy Roy!

[Peter Loves Gwen]

Ditto, another great book. Keep them coming.

[Shawn Low]

Everything I've sent to CGC has been OW/W, and one white paged Annual 1.

 

How does this look compared to the raw scan from two months ago?

 

 

It does really suck that the piece came off the FC. I would assume that you did your due diligence with packing and that it might have come off during handling by CGC (or maybe shipping. Dunno).

 

But if it affected the grade...ouch. A 0.5 drop is big.

 

Nice PQ too!

Is this the 7.0 that Roy has that you are referring to that "shoulda" been a 7.5 ?

Thanks, I had to ship a couple of the eleven I had graded, inside of the Mylars I stored them in. The typical Silver Age poly bags are not really wide enough for books prior to about the time when the 12 cent books began. Before that they were just a hair wider, and are too tight in the SA bags I have.

 

I shipped that 5.5 AF 15 and three of my ASM annuals in Mylars, and stuck each of those inside older magazine bags I had. I was really careful about sandwiching everything with cardboard between each, plus not having any open ends or tape possible to touch the comics. I'm sure my books reached the destination safely. Months ago my ASM 1 also lost a tiny Marvel chip from the right edge, I had noted it being loose to Matt Nelson on the shipping invoice.

 

I'd also say it was an unfortunate accident from handling. Many people handle comics along the way, no one is perfect.

[Mac Man]

You know what though... now that I think about it, I had a few SA Marvel keys where this sort of thing happened with a small rectangular chip coming loose. And based on the earlier scan, it looks like there was some pretty heavy preexisting creasing. Honestly... with the simple movement of being shipped, it could have finished the split on the chip. Nonetheless, helluva thing to see.

That's what I worry about possible re-sub...you are always taking a risk. Then again, books back then were meant to be read and trash and who cares about the long term preservation. Let's print them in the crappiest paper.

[rtecbot]

Along with poor paper, there is also cheap fading ink

Fellow boardies-Same book?? Both have 6-5 at similar location, i haven't checked on the cgc serial number

[showcase22gr1959]

Nice work. Looks like the same book. Did you use to own the 5.0 before it got upgraded?

[Spiderturtle]

I've owned 4 5.0s but not this particular one. This 5.0 use to belong to a fellow board

 

Just purchased a 5.5 over the weekend

Nice. I saw that one. You have dupe galore with AF15. (thumbs u

[Shawn Low]

This 4.0 joins my 3.5. Both OW pages. Both slabbed.

 

Anyone want to take both and trade me something in a higher-grade?

 

4.0

 

3.5

Anyone know what accounts for the grade bump? Hard to tell without graders' notes for both books,

 

A press? Good day/bad day at CGC?

Yeah...I can't tell without the graders note either. Congrats on the second copy. You can't go wrong with these puppies.

@ Don and Showcase. Thanks.

 

Still after another one with OW/W PQ and maybe no Marvel Chipping!

 

Hey Showcase, wanna trade for one of the Showcase #22?
