What Would You Grade This Book?

[OldGuy]

This is a CGC graded book. Take your guesses and I'l let you know what CGC graded it. The pics are big, but that file sizes are small. The "light" at the bottom of the back scan is from the scanner, not the book.

I can't tell if the chunks at the top bc are missing or replaced. Missing: G+, replaced: App. G+ or G/VG. I'd grade it lower, but this is my guess based on watching other CGC books.

does the book have some resto on it?

reason i ask is that there a couple of lighter sections on back that look like pieces added.

assuming though that it is not restored, i would grade it at a GD/VG at best, given the defects visible in the scan (piece missing top left being the major).

If it's not restored, I'm guessing a FN 6.0.

[Moriarty]

Based on your scans, I'd say the book with the two chunks out of top of BC plus the piece from FC will relegate this book down from a CGC 7.0 FN/VF to a more realistic CGC 2.0 G. JMO.

hey matt, you think a book with pieces out of the cover grades at fine 6.0?

remind me never to buy any raw books from you

.......yeah......I got some slightly used toilet paper I'll sell ya too.......I grade it at VF+ since it's only been used once.

[scottish]

Pretty nice looking cover...I'll say 3.0-3.5 (sorry for the spread, but I'm even worse with lower grades).

VG+ 4.5

[Bonds25]

- I didn't see the chunk out at the top of the front cover. I'll change my grade to a VG+ 4.5.

[Rickdogg]

I suck when it comes to LG since I don't buy anything that is less than VF. My guess:

 

(A) 3.5 restored Grade (Beat Up)

[Bugaboo-migration]

So how about the toilet paper I offered......we still good for that deal?

[Arty]

Without those missing pieces this would be ..ee..about F/VF 6.5- 7.0 ?

 

Hmm..but how much those pieces effect..maybe 3 points...

 

so my guess at final grade= 3.5-4.0= G/VG

 

 

[Bugaboo-migration]

I'm going to treat this like an answer for the CGC trivia forum.........I'd say that with those defects.......it's probably going to grade in the 2.5 - 7.5 range.

I have a few questions to ask before making an educated guess.

 

1.) Is the book bright and glossy (as far as Silver Age books go)?

2.) Looking at the scans I cannot see any surface wear, so how much surface wear would you say the book has?

3.) How about page suppleness, are the inside pages tan, cream, off-white?

4.) looking at the front of the book the top left corner appears to have a missing piece (infamous Marvel chipping?) looking at the back scan, it appears to be a couple of stains from a spill rather than a missing piece. Is that an accurate description of the back?

 

IF the book is bright, glossy, has almost NO surface wear, and the only flaws are what can be seen in the scan, then because of the severity of those flaws, I would guess a 4.0.

"looking at the front of the book the top left corner appears to have a missing piece (infamous Marvel chipping?) "

 

......there is no way you can put a piece that big down to marvel chipping

marvel chipping occurs on along the right hand edge of a book and is the product of marvels inferior trimming system in the silver age.

this book does not have marvel chipping, but has a piece ripped/torn from the corner.
