Journey Into Mystery 60

[crimson dynamo]

Finally got a hold of this particular issue. I especially love the JIM's from 50-70's. I plan on getting it graded in the future but I would be curious to hear what you folks would grade the book as.

Using the conans I got in the mail today with SenorMac graded as 6.0 fines as my base grade, I'm going to have to say that this grades

 

4.5

 

maybe lower with the tanning on the front top edge and what looks like water damage on the bottom lower edge, maybe 4.0.

 

Complete novice, put no weight on my Grading abilities.

 

The only experience I have is grading about 250 of my own comics, and upon regrading, i often gave it a totally way off grade....

This book lays flat and is very glossy. The rear cover has the impact crease at the bottom of the back cover and it has transversed through the interior pages w/ small amount of moisture. I am hoping it hits the 6.0 to 6.5 mark but CGC is very impredictable. Certain things in the past such as very small spots or moisture really shove the grade down.

I could see this one getting a 6.0...I'd lean more toward 5.5 though...nice book!

Im thinking 5.0

[Bomber-Bob]

I think the moisture problems will keep it under 6.0.

5.0/5.5 leaning toward 5.5 .

[shadroch]

I'd hold out hope for a 6.0

I would like to change my opinion.

 

In a car forum i belong to we often make the joke, "that will buff right out" when seeing pictures of cars in accidents.

 

I guess in the comic industry the proper comment would be, "that will press right out"

 

I guess that could press out to a....

 

5.5

Great book - I'm with you on this being an underrated era for the JIM title.

 

Is there a risk the top of the book has been trimmed? It looks freakishly razor-sharp, especially on the front.

 

That said, I'm with the rest of the bunch in opining the lower back cover issues drop this to the 5.5-6.0 range.

I am pretty positive that the book has not been trimmed , but I am no expert. This would be the first time I submit a book to CGC with moisture to the pages. But I am expecting a 5.5 grade. Thanks for everybodies input.
