PGM Batman #132 & #251

[Boozad]

Hey people, a couple of recent acquisitions if you wouldn't mind taking a look.

I've been after #251 for a long time now and dropped lucky on the #132. Anyway...

 

Batman #132

The cover is completely attached although loose at the top staple. Both staples are rusty. The inner pages are all intact with no rips or folds with a cream to light brown around edges colour.

 

 

 

Batman #251

Again the cover is completely intact, with some minor creasing along the spine (worse by top staple). All pages are intact with no tears or creases and are OW.

Looking at the top of the cover I've a nasty feeling that the book has been trimmed, but I've no way of telling for certain.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance! (thumbs u

The bats 251 is looking 7.0 to me, and I dout it is trimmed. That book is notorious for miswrap/cut. So I wouldnt worry about the trim.

I really am in two minds about the #251. If I look at it long enough it looks to me like the top of the book actually tapers down towards the spine, and there is a tiny tear at the top of the spine (running around it from front to back) as if it has been in a guillotine.

Maybe I've just got it in my head that it has been and am looking too hard for signs that it has.

 

I may try to find someone in England who can take a second look at the book in hand for a second opinion. I really don't want to send it to CGC to get a PLOD back.

In general, larger scans would make it easier to give a hard look ...

 

On the 132 ... what's going on through the batman symbol in the title? Is that scanner glare? Looks like a long crease in the URFC. Another long crease in the lower left coral area. More along the bottom cover.

 

All in all ... add in the staple issues and the spine wear ... 2.0.

 

The 251 ... plenty of spine ticks, what looks like a ding on the top to the left of Batman's head. Is that a tiny bend in the URFC? A teeny bit of chipping under the 20-cent logo? All minor stuff on a nice book, but enough accumulation for a ... 6.0.

I'll post larger scans later, thanks for the input people (thumbs u

I've moved the #251 on for the price I paid for it so now I'm on the search for another one.

I've dug through my earlier back issues for slabbing candidates and came up with these four if anybody would like to cast an eye (and opinion) over them!

Batman #184

I've a copy of Batman #200 on it's way too which on Ebay looked like a really nice copy, so I'll post that when it arrives.

I agree with Divad... Way to many book's in one thread.... I'm with Divad on most of the grades as well.. 2.5 on the first book. 7.5 on the last book. IMHO

Two{2} book's per PGM thread is OK. More than that and it get's to be to much to look at all at once.

[Boozad]

OK I know now. Didn't realise people didn't like it that way, I was just trying to not clutter up the forum wiith numerous posts asking for grades.

[TFL-migration]

When I have to get out pen and paper... It is a few book's too many... Plus others will be posting there book's as well. It's just a better and fairer way of doing things.... Welcome to the Nut House!!!
