Duo-tone Green Lantern #76...

[jools&jim]

 

Never quite seen a copy like this before (currently for sale from Lone Star). Any idea how the sun fading would be factored into the grade by CGC?

Not sure how it would affect the technical grade, but for me that flaw is a mega desirability-killer; for the right price, anything might be worth it, but a book with that flaw generally is not for me.

it's too bad "in brightest day" isn't on one side and "in blackest night" on the other

Yeah too bad,otherwise it looks like a pretty nice copy.The owner of this book really blew it keeping it near any sunlight.

I actually think that looks pretty cool but I wouldn't pay much for it. I think CGC will hammer it, but have no clue how much.

For a second I thought it was some type of variant!Cool looking but a shame.

I have a Challengers of the Unknown 8 that is that faded,except for where

a price sticker once was.A long time wall book!

I don`t think it will affect CGC`s grade very much at all. They typically focus on structural defects, and not "appearance" defects like fading, yellowing or dust shadows.

I disagree with that; CGC definitely takes those things into consideration at various levels. I know for a fact that dust shadows get you dinged at higher grades (8.5+) and sun bleaching (what this book has) is counted as a defect into the Fine range.

6.0

Correct, and depending on how hard CGC hammers it, this book could be anywhere from a 4.0 to a 6.0.

That is a cool effect. Too bad they did not do a duo tone cover back in the day......

Yeah, CGC doesn't like fading. Not sure what Tim's on about

Too bad it's irreversible. Fading is like destruction.

You made my X-Men 94 cry.

What would have been cool is if Marvel had done a "black light" variant cover for their books one month to coincide with those posters that were released.

Ouch! What grade did that get?

Gotta agree. The cover is badly faded and CGC has to hammer it.
