TOS #59

[The Silver-Age]

This has been in my personal collection for many years. I JUST noticed that the BRC is neatly clipped off..... Missing piece is 3/8"

All I can think of is that the corner had some damage. Maybe multiple folds or dogeared and so they clipped it. Can't believe I never saw it.

 

Pages are c2ow. No brittleness

It will be.

What are your grades on ? I have an idea how much grade to deduct, but I need some opinions to make sure I'm accurate....Thanks

[c-mack]

7.5? im loving it

[zuckuss2003]

It is nice but sadly no 7.5 with that corner clipped. 3.0/3.5 I think is the best you can get with a piece that size out.

 

Edit: Looking closer the piece may not be a 1/2" so perhaps you could be a 4.0/4.5

i got TOS 97 cgc gave a 9.0 with a bigger piece gone on the back cover..so i dunno...looks way too nice for a 3.0-3.5

[TheAvenger80]

Nah, that's not a 3.0 just for that. I'd say 5.0 or 5.5.. as nice as the rest of the books is. I think it's too big a piece to go up to 7.0 or better.

I'd say it's a 7.0. Maybe 6.5.

When does your sales thread start? I will take all your SA 3.0-3.5's sight unseen!!!!!.

I am just going on what I have seen from CGC and read in the Overstreet guide, no missing pieces allowed in a 5.0, - if this was my book I would be very happy with it but still grade it a 4.0/4.5

 

I have a CGC 3.0 Showcase from the Mound City auction that looks like a 7.0 until you see the 1" piece out of the back cover. I love the book because it looks really nice, I don't care what the number in the corner says.

I know how you feel. This book was a prize for me, until I discovered the 3/8' missing piece
