Grade this Captain America Comics #5

[Trey Cannon]

Thinking of purchasing this book it is in a PGX holder what CGC grade do you think it will get? I'll post the PGX grade later

Needs a bigger/clearer FC scan. Looks 3.0/3.5 based on tanning/staining writing on the FC, and what appears to be heavy stress at the bottom staple. :shrug:

[Trey Cannon]

unfortantly these are the only pictures he hasto show me

[TFL-migration]

5.0 IMHO No way is this a 3.0 book..

[tortoise]

i go 4.0-4.5

really nice book (thumbs u

[rjpb]

Looks 4.0ish - I'd ask for a bigger scan of the FC

[c-mack]

4.5-5.5 with the small scan....

If you're buying this PGX book, be realistic... you're rolling the dice with an expensive book, and there's no way of knowing from scans what CGC might find.

5.0 But the spine looks brittle to me

[VK]

4.5ish

[The Silver-Age]

3.5-4.0

Any possibility that it's glue on the spine? Bleedthrough from inside?

[Mio]

PGX 5.0 ... CGC 4.0?

[G.A.tor]

my guess is it graded PGX 5.0 with lt to ow pages...and that it will grade about the same from cgc as long as the pages are not slightly brittle

[casarachi]

as I said, IMO, in the other post, 3.5... possibly 4.0 at best due to the spine tears.

 

Why is PGX frowned upon, they're people too!?

 

No offense but I've dealt with some of these graders at comic shows long before they became "GODS" of grading.

 

I think it should be mandatory (BY LAW) that the head grader's name be applied to each label "graded by"!

(at least there will be some accountability when deciding how much a book is worth)

 

I'm going to start my own grading company. the SJC. (me)

man!! i can smell the hate from here

[JohnT]

Front=5.0

Back=3.0

 

I'll say 4.0.

 

But as mentioned, it's a shoot given the small photos and the fact that it's a PGX. For one thing, I'd worry about restoration with that front looking so much better than the back.

the owner checked the book pretty carefully before submitting... he guarantees it is not restored (thumbs u
