PGM TOS 40's...Copy A and B

[Comicdey]

Copy A.....tight spine, nice OW/W pages

 

Copy B....tight spine, decent Cr/OW or OW pages

[marvelcollector]

I actually think they are both 4.0....

I think they are both in that 3.5 grade,but you did'nt give a 3.5 option on book B

With all that chipping and the large piece missing from the LRFC, not a chance at a 3.5. 2.5 at best, but I voted 2.0. Also staining/moisture damage on the back.

I have seen 4.0s with that same corner missing,just sayin'

 

I had Steve Borock look at my Tales of Suspense #39 thats in my sig. line in hand at a forum dinner that has a chip on the upper right corner,he said it was an easy 4.0 if submitted.

Maybe on an otherwise high grade copy, but this one has all the other stuff I mentioned holding it back - bad Marvel chipping and staining on a SA book, Borock would go 2.0/2.5 as has been my experience.

Back cover staining noted,2.0/2.5

Thanks for the grades...

 

Just FYI, I have the Sid's Luncheonette TOS 40 in 4.0 with significant right edge chipping, white pages.

 

Copy A presents nicely when compared side by side and I was thinking it was a 4.0 with an optimistic chance at 4.5, but I can see where some would say 3.5.

 

Copy B is nicer than many slabbed 1.8's I've had, and I was thinking it was a 2.0 with a shot at 2.5.

 

Appreciate all the opinions....I always enjoy the nuances to grade and how we all see defects differently.

[MagnetoWasRight]

3.0, 2.5

[tortoise]

3.5-4.0 on a

 

2.0 on b

[Boboset]

3.0 & 1.8 Guess I'm being harsh and/or strict.
