Which FF #24 would you keep

[pickycollector]

I have these two copies, both raw and both in similar condition but with very different centering and just can't decide which one I will keep for me and which one will be for sale

 

Would be curious to know which one you do prefer:

 

Copy A

 

 

Copy B

 

[MR SigS]

No contest. Copy A is a keeper.

I see your quandry.....like me, you probably prefer a copy where the CCA stamp is not cropped.....but the copy with the full stamp has the corner logo wrapping to the back and obscuring it. Copy "A" seems to be the nicest condition wise....I'd take it for now. A "perfect" one may turn up later....it's probably like #21, very difficult to find one with a full logo AND stamp. GOD BLESS...

Agree with the masses...Copy A is the keeper

Exactly. That centering difference is my dilemma.

 

I prefer a slightly lower condition if book is perfectly centered. Copy A has the CCA and issue number square cropped, as well as the word "Marvelous" on right edge. A third copy would probably be the solution..until now, I need to choose

[Dbrewer75]

A for sure

A by far.

[jimjum12]

The spine on "A" is awesome.....a strong resale feature at upgrade time. The B from Book is missing on copy "B".....plus the miswrap to back, which I could live with if everything else was good. FF is probably the hardest of the Marvels for perfect QP. No.'s 12, 13, 21, 23, and 28 are all very tough to find perfect QP in high grade. GOD BLESS...

P.S. Copy "A" looks borderline 9.4 while B" looks a solid 9.0 (from the scan.....)

picky, i know i thread crapped in the past, I hope you forgive me but A is the one I would keep.

 

 

Sorry about before,

I would keep A. It looks like it would grade higher too.

On copy B there is creasing in the RED of the left edge.

The colors look better on A. And what is going on with the

top edge of B??

It's part of the art....but it does look like swiss cheese in a scan. GOD BLESS...

A

 

looks like something ends up getting cropped either way, and A is clearly in nicer shape.

[ARK]

I'm with the "A" gang.

[marvelcollector]

Copy A, even though it has the slight mis-cut. B has a crease near the spine I don't like...
