I asked CGC and they said that since the stickers were factored into the grading process as a defect, that is why it got blue instead of green.

This makes sense because of the detached staple. The stickers would not have lowered the grade much, if at all, because the worst damage was from the detached staple. If they had given the book a Green Label, the grade would be about the same anyway. Had the staple been attached, it would have been given a Green Label.

It worked out to be a perfect storm of defects that allowed this book to look as nice as it does (with a nice wrap, centering, no MC on front cover, white pages, etc.) and remain a blue label and stay affordable to me. I couldn't be happier to own it Bomber-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was an unusually pretty 4.0. Happy to be back in the club after a 22 year absence.

tv horror Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Let me ask this question if a member could not afford an original number 1 would a Golden record copy do instead to complete a collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I'd have to agree; no. But it's what you consider complete that matters. If you're happy with it, save the money and take the win! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spracknetch23 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would also say no -- which is why I'm still holding out for an actual #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Would someone please help me understand why this raw copy is going for so much on ebay. It's got very obvious resto in the lower right corner. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Spider-Man-1-3-63-Silver-Age-Marvel-Comics-1st-J-JONAH-JAMESON-Stan-Lee/152886319037?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yep, I addressed that resto and glad seller put the pictures up for auction because i suspected some resto work and possibly a piece fill in that area too. Not sure why bidding is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He added pics to the Thor after I told him to show the bleed thru, but it's at $7000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
