2 recent board acquisitions! TOS 52 and ASM 75

[Mayor006]

I picked both of these books up from board members and I was quite pleased with the deals. Tell me what you think they might grade out to and would either one of them benefit from pressing? I think the ASM would because of tiny almost "wrinkles" or "cracks" that are hard to see in the scan, but I'm not sure about the Tales of Suspense. It looks pretty clean except the edge wear. Both seem to be off white pages.

Amazing Spiderman 75

 

 

 

Thanks for the input!

unfortunately, both books have color breaking creases and damage so pressing will not help those defects. TRC on the TOS and BRC on the ASM

and nice middle grade books and I think both are 6.5 easy.

[Mayor006]

Well I guess that's good! Just means I won't waste my time trying to get them pressed and I can go ahead and send them in for grading! I was really hoping for a 7.0 on each of these....

[etanick]

even at 7.0, I don't think either book is worth slabbing.

I don't want to burst any bubbles,but they probably are not 7.0s.Maybe 6.5s

[Mayor006]

No bubbles burst, just wishful thinking....

[Bomber-Bob]

With those creases I agree that they will probably grade no higher than 6.5 and are not worth slabbing.

[Mayor006]

I'll still probably slab the TOS just to have an undercopy to start trying to improve on. Thanks guys you've been a lot of help!
