TOS#62 Thinking of re-slab. What you guys think?

[The Silver-Age]

Please note: The gloss is off the chart. My scanner doesn't pick up the gloss for some reason

I will say 8.5,but looks as nice as a 9.0 (thumbs u

[Mio]

I thought 8.0 at first... maybe 8.5?

8.5 cow

[Earl Davis]

8.5

[namisgr]

Not sure why people are being so harsh. Nice copy, 9.0 unless there's tanning to the interior cover edges.

[madzlin]

Not sure. Gloss looks a bit low but can't reliably tell from the slab. First thought is 8.0.

[apollobuzz]

I immediately thought 9.0.

I concur...I think the chips bring it DOWN to a 9.0...

[thehumantorch]

Not sure why people are going as low as 8.0 on this book. 9.0 unless I'm missing something.

[silverseeker]

I also think it looks like a 9.0 book to me...

[c-mack]

what did it get graded?

[Shark]

I'm gonna say 8.5. Looks like there might be a little bit of edge bending along the bottom edge on the front cover.

I'm gonna say 8.5. Looks like there might be a little bit of edge bending along the bottom edge on the front cover.

Also at the center of the bc top edge.

Still could get a 9.0...prettier book than that 9.0 FF 55 that was around awhile back with the CB crease top right corner...

[jimjum12]

First off...the tiny chips are common on FEB '65 cover date books, FF 35 is notorious for having them also and they're caused by a dull cutter...a production flaw. If your book is a 9.0, which is what I suspect it is (I haven't read the whole thread)...I think it may have a shot at 9.2. It looks like it may benefit from a pressing, maybe joeypost could help. GOD BLESS...

It's an 8.5 old label that looks much better in hand than the scan. I think I will re-sub and keep everyone updated.

[rjpb]

Might possibly get a 9.0 on resub due to CGC leniency on Marvel chipping - but 8.5 seems a pretty nice grade considering the flaw.
