Captain America # 1

[Rob09-migration]

Can you spare a grade for my CAPT # 1. Unfortunately these are the only pics I have at the moment. I will post better detailed pics as soon as I replace my damaged digital camera. Is restoration of any kind worth performing to increase it's CGC rating and value or not?

1.0.. Heavy tape on the spine and with all the wear on it

[precodekeith]

Does the tape make it a PLOD?

I'd go 1.0 as well. Is it possible to get a 0.5?

[comixcroz]

1.0, If that water damage goes through all of the interior pages and the cover is completely held on by the tape - maybe even 0.5

 

Still it's a Cap 1

[Rob09-migration]

Thank you.

[Rob09-migration]

A PLOD? Elaborate.

[Rob09-migration]

Thanks for the feedback.

[precodekeith]

CGC purple label indicates "rstoration." PLOD is slab slang for "purple label of death."

BTW- Welcome to the boards!

[Rob09-migration]

Thank you for the clarification.

Can't tell much from the pics except that it will be low grade.

Is this an issue Metro was selling about a year ago?

[Rob09-migration]

Not at all.

No, not in and of itself.

It appears to be a good candidate for restoration as there don't appear to be any large important pieces missing. Consult an expert, or get opinions on the Restoration forum.

Agreed. I would gladly sink the cash into this book and keep it
