I'd say an 8.5, gorgeous book. What other gems do you have lying around?

[ROBTOTHEC]

8.0 is what I would call it! I LIKE IT!

8.5

[TFL-migration]

I can't see this book getting above 8.0 IMHO FC has some blunted corners. spine ticks, writing of some type on the FC top edge, other little issues. The BC has a few issues including some tanning/shadow marks. Indentation above the "Sat" on the BC as well. Some issue on the BC top right corner/edge. Along with some other little problems. A very nice book regardless. I would say a nice 7.0 Possible 7.5 IMHO..

Looks like a VF-. Just bite the bullet and send it to CGC. That is one great comic, but if you want to sell it, people will want to see that beautiful blue label!

 

Are you afraid of restoration on it?

[Silver Surfer]

Actually the corners are pretty nice, the biggest defect is the tanning or dust shadow on the back cover but its pretty minor. I would send this to Matt and have it pressed and sent for grading. No way this book is less than a 8.0 based on what we see here.

[TFL-migration]

I hope the book grades out as nice as it can. But the overall condition is a very strong 7.0. 7.5 isn't out of the question either. 8.0 seems to be a bit of a high grade on this book. IMHO...

[burntboy]

I'd have to agree with the 8.0ish crowd - that is one sweet looking book... (thumbs u

7.5... a few too many small defects for the full-on 8.0, but overall a VERY nice book!

Compare this copy to the 7.5 on Comicconnect, this one is much nicer.

[JohnT]

I could go 8.0 on this one. The large scans exaggerate the flaws, imo.

 

What a beautiful cover.

[Ghoti]

It is now graded CGC 8.0, off-white to white pages.

 

Heritage called them about the book, they indicated that the interior cover tanning is what kept it from being 8.5.

 

So you are probably wondering: is it a $10,000 book or a 15/$20,000 book??

 

I don’t know the answer. Now what do you guys think it will price out as? The last 8.0 sold for around 12K. Thoughts?

 

[Silver Surfer]

I think its a $11,000-$12,000 book. The page quality and overall look is good so perhaps it will fetch a little more if a bidding war ensues. The 7.5 white page copy on Comicconnect has sat on that site unsold at just shy of $10K for a long which is a bit surprising but the 7.5 to 8.0 threshold is a whole different ball game. The sale price on the 9.0 Nova Scotia copy will be telling because this copy along with the 8.0 you reference sat on Metro's site unsold for some time.

I took a chance and resubmitted it to CGC. I have been told that they bumped it up to 8.5 now as the copy floating around in 8.0 condition has a chip on the top corner and has rust spots or foxing all along the yellow part of the logo. So..... if it is an 8.5 what do you think it will go for?

Hey that's awesome and more importantly I nailed the grade. I'd say at Heritage its a $17,000 book.
