Gman - here's ASM # 13 for grading

[burntboy]

another original purchase made in Orange, NJ by me in the spring of 1964. i would only by 8 more spidey's before hanging it up for 40 years..................this one has some minor overflash bending and a half dozen small spine ticks. otherwise, it looks pretty decent.

 

 

 

 

now Gman can help grade this along with Discount and Drbanner. if these guys give it a decent grade, you're doing OK!!!

[g-man]

i think it could get an 8.0..... maybe an 8.5 on a good day!

[Rip]

I love that cover 8.0

7.5; fair amount of color breaking spine stress, rough overflash along the top, and the bindery corners are soft.

I agree with the 7.5. The spine stresses are a tad too long for it to be an 8.0. Excellent structure to the book though.

Is that a tiny chip out of the tlc of the back cover? I'll go 7.5 on this one...can I change my grade and double-down later!?!?

i thought it might be a shadow......if not, that could bring it down.

8.0 to 8.5. I think 7.5 is too low for a book with corners that nice and that doesn't have at least one long non-color breaking bends. I don't think 6 or 7 spine stresses will knock it down to VF-, and I'm guessing that the overflash looks worse on the scanner than in person.

8.0

nope, it's the overflash's shadow on the back of the front overflash

[Mephisto]

8.0

8.0

 

It's got my VG+ all green with envy!

[burntboy]

well, i'll have to thank my lucky stars and a good grading day down in Sarasota, because this baby and his brother #15 just got graded at 9.0's.........

 

the stars of my overall submission were my 27 FF's/JIM's which got average grades of 8.2. the cream of the crop were FF 11 at 9.4, 15 & 25 at 9.2 and JIM 88 at 9.2.

Very sweet!!!!!!

While those grades are nice for you (if you're to sell them, that is), I don't know that I'd be happy receiving that as a 9.0 if I bought it graded. Color breaking spine stress, stress along the upper overflash, blunted bindary corners, and a roll on the back cover urc. Pretty iffy grade, if you ask me.

How's the ASM 15 look?

if you're offering him money looking for him to sell, Good luck! He just likes to tease all of us with how GREAT his collection is.
