PGM AF #15

[killerkomics]

Hello, just pick this up in a collection. Has the usual Marvel chipping, pages are crm/ow and book is solid with staples intact. All help is appreciated. Thanks.

2.0

3.0

2.5

3.0 seems about right. Lots of positives to balance the chipping. Nice copy!

[TFL-migration]

3.0 Possible 3.5 In hand... The AF 15 Bump and all...IMHO

[AJD]

2.0 with an outside chance of 2.5

 

Bumps don't exist - or shouldn't

[TFL-migration]

The Bump does indeed exist. IMHO of course. BTW .... Either that or I can't grade a AF 15 to save my life...I'd like to think I am a fairly good grader. If anything I tend to under grade a bit. Steve Borock has a sales thread happening. I respect and trust his grading 100%. Take a look at the AF 15 he has/had for sale with his assigned grade. The AF 15 here look's to be in a bit better condition... Welcome to the boards BTW...

Thanks, and I'll have a look at the other AF15 - I'm always keen to learn more.

I don't have any low-grade books and find them really hard to grade. Marvel chipping or not, the book is missing almost the entire right edge. That with the other defects makes it a 2.0 for me... I guess I'm just harsh on the low stuff!

3.0

 

While chipping deservedly causes a significant downgrade, it is a production rather than a handling defect, and is not treated as severely as handling defects like large tears or chunks missing.

3.0 since it's clean.

Thanks to everyones opinion. I personally thought it was a 2.5, max. 3.0, but as TFL said, Steve Borock has an AF #15 up for sale and mine is either the same or slight better looking, but Steve B. graded his at 3.5, thats why I put mine up to get a feel for what others thought it would grade. I've seen AF #15 copies get a range of grades all over the map in lower grades .

What he said! Nice find...WTTB!

(A 4.5 just sold on Clink for around $6K!)

2.5

 

3.0 is posible, but undeserved. And I HATE marvel chipping. Production defect or not it should be graded accordingly, making true HG copies of books more desireable.

I think a 2.5 - 3.0 . Its worn, but better than GOOD and not yet a VERY GOOD.....IMO

[TFL-migration]

If it will be for sale as a 2.5 Well.... I don't like Marvel Chipping either.

But it is a production fault. I just think of it as part of the book's overall character. (thumbs u
