PGM : Amazing Fantasy 15

[jeBailey]

I have an opportunity to pick up this book. I haven't looked at the book in person yet. below is the description and scans that I have received. I know the top is cliped in the scan just give me an idea based on what you do see. Any ideas would help me out.

 

CONDITION Really hard to put a grade on. It has real good colors and good interior page quality. It does have a tiny bit of Marvel chipping and a tiny bit of almost Marvel chipping. There is a tiny tear that cuts into the cover and pages and back cover, and there is another small tear in cover as well. There is some wear and some light creases but overall the book presents real well.

Hard to tell from those pics. My best guess would be 2.5!

[abracadabra]

It depends on how bad some of those tears are, but from what I can see I will have to say a 2.5 also. Either way, it does appear to have some nice colors still. If you can get it for the right price, go for it! Good luck...

2.5 with a possible bump to a 3.0

2.5ish

[Detroit MIke]

I'd give it a 3.0

[trmoore54]

I'd say if the top edge is similar to the bottom edge (which is in great shape!) this easily could garner a 3.0...and depending on how much the "all the way through the book" tear is hammered, possibly a 3.5...maybe that's the one flaw that keeps this at 3.0 tops, and perhaps 2.5...

 

I cruised the AF 15s presently on Clink just to review some comparisons...interestingly some of the 2.5s look nicer than the 3.0s and vice-versa...this 3.5 though does have pretty much an equal level of Marvel chipping on the right edge...

Thanks Guys you have confirmed what I was thinking.

Given CGCs leniency towards Marvel chipping they might grade it as high as 3.5 - but 2.5 is probably what most anyone else would say - that's one of the reasons books like this get slabbed.

2.5

[Point Five]

I'm gonna go with 3.0. Even with the heavy Marvel chipping, the eye appeal is really nice.

 

I hate to say it, but does the left edge on the back look a bit funky to anyone else? Hard to tell for sure from the small scan....but if you're going to see the book in person, I'd take a careful look at that area.

I have an opportunity to pick up this book.

 

Although the book is relatively plentiful, the opportunities to pick up a copy are few and far between . . . Good Luck! (thumbs u

As to grade, 2.5 means you got jobbed, 3.0 is fair, and 3.5 is a gift . . .

 

The thing this copy has going for it, is that none of the apparent defects impact the important "eye appeal" areas - central image FC and logo.

[TFL-migration]

3.0 Possible 3.5 In hand. IMHO.

[JazzMan]

3.0 Possible 3.5 In hand. IMHO.

 

Ditto.

2.5/3.0
