PGM JLA #14 Need Help

[Spider-Dan]

I was considering sending this to CGC, but not sure how bad they will hammer it for the hole on the splash page!

This is a beautiful copy. Nice and glossy.

The line on the back is tanning, not a stain

I also have a #5 thats just as nice with the same problem

Was this book pressed? I mean it's pretty flat,looks good.Hard to say what CGC would grade with torn page.I'll go out on a limb and say 7.0,because the rest of the book looks pretty nice.Also it's hard to really grade this with this pic,so grade may vary with better pics.

Thanks for the input. I doubt it was pressed. I got it from a guy who sells estates.

Man, that tear is a big drop in grade. I would say 5.5. It's pretty nice looking, I would have given it a 7.0 if it weren't for the tear. Also, just because the book has a nice flat profile doesn't mean it's pressed. Stack storing can cause that as well. And the spine breaks are consistent with that as well.

That's a SWEET book and that small tear would not detour me one bit from wanting that in my collection. I would be fine receiving that as a 7.5 and possibly 8.0 if it is flaw free as it looks on my screen.

Small hunk out of bottom of page shouldn't drop it 2 whole points, doesn't even effect the story.

 

I'd be more concerned with that tan line on the back, it's looks like it was caused by moisture, it looks like a "high tide" mark. CGC may drop the book 2 whole points for that. I just bought a slabbed JIM, looks 9.0 from the front, on the back there are a few of those lines and what looks like whiter areas inside the lines where it must have been moist, and a real faint corner crease. CGC grade 5.0 for JIM, must be best looking 5 I've seen.

(thumbs u Thanks for the input!

Looks 9.x without the missing piece, so I'd say 7.5-8.0...
