TOS #42 from lot on feebay

[capt hook]

I got this one from the same Feebay lot as the Strange Worlds #3. Great glossy cover. Tape on the FC top right corner. no rip, just tape! ugh! chipping on BC bottom. 1/4" tear on fc bottom right corner.

3.0 Possible 3.5 In hand. IMHO Tape drives me crazy. Why somebody would put tape at that location is a question that will never be answered.

The tape here looks like an accident. I'd say 3.5 minimum...possible 4.0...nice looking copy in spite of the annoying tape...

if you got this graded with the tape what label would it get? blue? or green?

I'm pretty positive it would get a Blue...the tape isn't doing anything, more an aspect of wear (mistake) than attempted resto...

[c-mack]

in that case is the book forsale?

Yes, the way it hangs over the edge of the cover makes it pretty clear it's an accident (or the most unbelievably bad job at trying to reattach a chip the world has ever seen.)

I have an unrestored CGC 3.5 Amazing Spider-Man #10 that has the similar tape issue. However, without the tape mine would grade at least a 5.0. As I recall my book was graded during one of the strictest of grading standards by CGC.
