PGM - Green Lantern #6

[jakalope89-migration]

Hi All,

 

First time posting. Before I submit this comic to CGC, I would like to get an estimated grade by some of the forum pro's (collectively you guys hit pretty darn close). I have included only the front cover, so please take it for what you see. Sorry for the fact that it's still bagged, but I figure the less I touch it, the better.

 

Also, since I have never submitted a Silver Age comic to CGC, what tier would you submit this in?

 

I have also attached a higher res link.

 

Thanks so much!

Welcome to the boards.

 

Despite the high res. scan I'm having trouble grading it. I can see a bindery bottom left corner and some small yellow stains along the bottom. I'm gonna go with 8.0. It would help if you scanned the book out of it's bag, scans are never as nice in bags and a back cover scan is just as important as a front cover.

Hey, looks very nice, but it's tough to grade in a bag. I really doubt you're gonna affect the grade if you take it out for a minute. And if you have a scanner, that'll help too.

 

As is ... maybe 8.5 or thereabouts? Is that moisture or something on the bottom?

Welcome! Nice book. Looks like some rounded corners and some foxing/staining on the bottom FC. Great looking spine, so I'd say 8.5 and you should be able to use the economy tier.

Great looking book, but tough to grade without seeing more. Definitely looks like a little foxing. Looks like a good candidate for 8.0 or higher.

8.0 seems about right barring bc issues. everything looks netter in a bag, so it's always a great idea to pop that baby out and scan it.

Really need scans outside of bag for higher grade comics.

 

Could be 8.5 - 9.4 if the back is as nice.

Could be somewhere around 9.0. Can´t really tell without BC and "outofbag" FC scans

+1 Scan it out of the bag. Back cover too. Go to Menards of Home Depot and buy some disposable plastic gloves in the paint department. The stretchy ones like the doc uses. I handle all my books with them. It makes them really easy to look at and takes the worry out of leaving smudges and fingerprints. Ive made it a habit handling books. Just my

without seeing the back cover,this IMHO is a sure 7.5 but could be an 8.0 (thumbs u

Thank you all for your input. I appreciate your advice on proper scanning and handling. I will do so for my next grading request.

 

So for a comic similar to this, would you submit it in the "Economy" tier? Do you generally submit it assuming it is a lower grade than expected?

 

How about if you have a comic that you think is around a 9.4 and worth, GPA average $300, but could be a 9.6 and worth, say $500. How would you go about submitting this scenario? Economy or Standard?

 

Thanks for all the help. I'm a noob to CGC submissions. I actually submitted once and spent $700 on CGC and realized I could have only spent $500 based on actual returned grades. Live and learn
