PGM Strange Tales 135

[signal2noise-migration]

I bought this a few years back from a reputable dealer as a VF/NM. When I got it I thought it graded a bit lower, but was having such a difficult time find a HG copy I kept it. Now looking at the CGC'd copies on CLink I see HG copies that also have a spine tick or two as does mine and am wondering if maybe I was a bit overcritical. Anyhow, would appreciate any input.

8.0? maybe 8.5

[AGGIEZ]

I'm going with 7.0/7.5 on this one. Probably 7.5

[DR.X]

7.5. Could go 8.0 in hand.

7.5 Possible 8.0 In hand. IMHO

[signal2noise-migration]

Wow, tough crowd. I felt pretty comfortable with at least 8.0 with a shot at 8.5. For those who see it in the 7's is there a specific flaw that I might be overlooking, or is it more an accumulation?

[DR.X]

To me, its an accumulation of defects. It looks like some tiny tears starting on the top edge of the front cover. There is also some stress and color rub on the top spine front cover. Some color breaking creases on the spine. It also looks like a possible small chip out of the lower back bottom corner. Looks like a small spot ( stain ) on the back cover also near the top. Still a real nice book though. (thumbs u

8.0

 

Agreed...I'd say easy 8.0...nice copy!

[signal2noise-migration]

8.5. They go easy on this book.

 

Looking at the CGC'd books on CLink and eBay I agree this seems to be so. Is there a general consensus that this is true? If so, any idea why?

 

 

Also, I'm wondering if the the bit at the top of the spine would be worth pressing out, or would it not be enough to effect the grade?

The census doesn't support this notion, with only a single copy above 9.4.
