A tyro and his comics...

[elgrumpy-migration]

Hi, I am new to the boards (I await my "Welcome to the boards!") and have been selling comics on ebay for the past year. Before this time, I had no knowledge of comics or grading. Over the course of this time all of my customers have been quite pleased with my grading and service. But, I wanted to test myself against some comic afficianados. So the point of my post is what would you grade this book:

Also, in addition to the grading, does anyone suspect trimming on the right edge of the book. I have never seen a trimmed book, but noticed that the comics code box and the "#2 1965" box are sliced off a bit. Could this just be a printing defect??? Well I look forward to your responses and after you guys feedback Ill post my writeup/grade. Thanks in advance for you time!Gregory.

Welcome to the Boards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

OK - THAT'S out of the way. This is better posted in Grading and Restorationn than Gebneral - I mean - you are asking for a grade and an opinion about restoration. So - I mean - put it there will ya?

 

Oh yeah = Welcome again!

Welcome!

 

I would give it between a FN- 5.5 to FN+ 6.5. I'd need a bigger scan to get any closer.

Me too, 5.5-6.5 is a good range without actually holding the book.
