PGM Sub-Mariner 59

[NuffSaid57]

Slight color loss seen near "M" in Sub-Mariner would appear to be the kind of flaw that would appeal to those evil ones inclined to ruin a nice book with color touch. Any opinions on how much you think this color loss would affect the grade of an otherwise very nice book might help me understand what some of these crazy colorist are thinking? I am thinking of those that would do it for profit, not the kids that would use a marker to make it look better. Many thanks in advance.

is that a stain on the bottom edge near the spine back cover?

[NuffSaid57]

No stain. I think is just emphasizing a little dirt. Overall I think BC looks quite a bit better than scan in hand.

Very nice copy!

 

Whomever would apply CT to a Subby #59 however, should have his head examined. Don't get me wrong - I love the Thor cover app! But the book IS quite plentiful

 

Also, it looks like a small stain to me . . .

if it is not a stain, I can see 8/8.5....more so depend on how that color loss area is in hand.

This is the type of book I love having in my collection, I can live with a few tiny specks of color loss like that - screw the technical grade. (thumbs u

I agree. I was really thinking of the type of damage, not this particular issue!

Front cover looks like about a 9.2

Back cover looks like an 8.5

 

Maybe a 9.0?....
