Silver Surfer nº1 grading...

[Kermit]

Here's the puppy, how much would these fetch (grade/price)?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for all the feedback, regards.

[Kermit]

The "serious" flaws i detect preventing it from going on a higher grade are the slightly rounded corners, the front cover with some very minor rips/blunted areas and the offwhite-white pages.

 

The cover and back cover have gorgeous colours and glossy.

4.5 - $75

[Kermit]

Are you sure it isn't 1.5 grade 5$

Oh come on, the book is completly ripped, smuged, blunted,...i can't let it go to a neighbor, it's a big messed up 4.5 comic...

[Foolkiller]

the book looks nicer than 4.5... which I take it was probably somebody kidding about the grade. probably a VF- 7.5 or F/FVF 7.0

 

the book looks very nice, but you've described some minor tears in the back cover and there's obvious spine wear, but the gloss on the book is very, very nice.

[Kermit]

do you think it's hard to go up to 8.0?! How much would this fetch?

[uclapeterg]

I would argee. 7.0 or 7.5.

[Aces]

Fine 6.0

 

Please notice the creasing along the right side of the front cover, bottom half.

Too much to be in the VF range (7.0-8.5).

[comicmankev]

No joke there, it's a 4.5 book, maybe a 5.0. Look at the wear on all edges, lifting corners, tears, Browning pages what more do you need?

[Foolkiller]

Really... I don't know about that grade 4.5 or 5.0, that's pretty tough on a book. It's also what makes grading from scans incredibly tough. I did look at some of the defects you pointed out more carefully, and I'd probably say that you're right about my not examining some of the defects more carefully. But I still think you're being way too hard on the book in general. Most VG+s are much rougher books than that. I'll lower my original estimate to the 6.0 to 6.5 category and say you should get about 75% of guide for the book, given it's a semi key but in a grade that is plentiful.

[Kermit]

Thanks for the insight though...i don't have a long experience on the grading departement, by it seems that the VG grade is ridicouslly low for this copie...

 

Thanks everyone

[Kermit]

Just curious, which grade would this copie be?

6.0 = Your book

7.5 = The Iron Fist 14

Although I should deduct dork points for the seller putting that annoying sound file on his auction.

[Kermit]

comparing with the silver surfer posted here...which one is a nicer copie?

[FFB]

I can't see the Silver Surfer well enough to give it a grade. There is too much of the book that is not clearly visible. As I think I mentioned before, if you post pictures or scans of the book not leaning away from the lens and without so much glare, it'll be a lot easier to grade the book from a picture.

6.0, but that is a very suspicious scan, looks a bit doctored to me
