Many thanks to Mike/Ramrodcar for hosting these (+ also to Donut for offering to).

I read the thread on image hosting and ended up getting a yahoo briefcase. I made this public access, but the links obviously didn't work for some reason. Any suggestions as to where I screwed up ?

Nice book! Looks like G/VG 3.0 or thereabouts to me. No need to slab IMO unless you are concerned about restoration. It should sell just fine raw. I sold a Action 16 (G- 1.8) a while ago on ebay and it sold nearly instantaneously with a BIN just under Overstreet Good. For whatever that's worth.

Looks like a G/VG I'd like to own.

i concur

VG- 3.5 -- Is that a spine split at the bottom? If not , then maybe 4.0.

[Zanarkand]

I think a clean book with that bottom split (and the smaller top one) could be VG-, but with the general light soiling I don't think higher than G/VG.

I agree - looks to be a G/VG 3.0 to me... but CGC is pretty kind on these early gems. I've certainly seen books that appeared to be in similar condition get VG- 3.5s at least.

 

Supa, I love the new avatar! "I Feel Good - NOT!"

Thanks for the feedback on this.

 

I bought it around 4 years ago as a VG- and when I dug through my records recently, I was pleasantly surprised by how little it had cost me. Most seem to think it's a G/VG or maybe a VG-, so grading was fairly accurate. Books like this are an amazing piece of history and when you look at the prices for some common slabbed BA, they really are value for money.

 

In light of the grading, what does everybody think of this ? Maybe I'm biased but I think my book looks considerably nicer. I'm tempted to slab purely as a resto check, but I like to pull it out and turn the pages, so it's probably not worth the expense to me.

Your Book would have a "Chance" at a 4.5, But would Probably come Back at 4.0. I'd Probably Slab it. I think it's MUCH Nicer than the #18

Go to www.photobucket.com and set up a free account.

 

It's free image hosting with a surprisingly large bandwidth limit. I dropped my pay hosting service because photobucket.com gave me tons more bandwidth and storage for free!!!! (I made a voluntary donation to the site out of personal gratitude, but you don't have to do this to join. Nor does he spam you with junk mail. He's just a good guy who is doing a service.)

I think it's a 2.0-2.5. Still a nice book though!
