Qualified Grade on a Golden Age Timely

[rjpb]

What sort of qualified grade would this Young Allies #4 get ?- or would it receive a painfully low Universal Grade if I sent it in? The flaw is a panel sized square neatly torn out of a page that doesn't effect the main story. Spotting on logo is a production defect. I'm not sure if it's worth getting slabbed.

You could probably sell it for more as a raw copy notating the defect rather than selling it in a green holder. Folks don't like green holders, no they do not.

Yeah, don't bother slabbing it. Looks like a green label 5.0 to me. Better off selling raw until 10-15 years from now when people realize that discriminating against a book due to the colour of the CGC label is retarded.

Yeah, maybe. I notice heritage has listed a lot of Qualified books over the years. Seems like if the book has a relatively minor flaw like a detached cf or cleaned staples, the Green label books seem to go for a relative bargain compared to what they might fetch raw, but if page(s) are missing, some of the qualified books do alright - compared to a raw book that would just be described as FR or Poor.

 

I'm thinking the vaue of a copy like this should be in the neighborhood of an unrestored 3.0-3.5 copy, but could get a Q grade of around 7.0.

 

Maybe I'll give it a shot on ebay raw (I did about a year ago with one unsolicited low-ball offer - that I felt wasn't enough).

Awesome book!

I'd vote for the slab myself... just a great cvr
