PGM Fantastic Four #23

[NuffSaid57]

Just picked this one up for a price I was very happy with due to a subscription crease that affects the entire book. The crease only breaks color a little at the top edge and for about an inch a little left of "The Master Plan of Doctor Doom". Anyone with any experience pressing subscription creases? All thoughts and opinion as to grade as is and potential improvement with a press are appreciated.

That is the "Smokey Mountain Lode Copy". (thumbs u

The Smokey Lode's were an original collection of SA Marvels from Tennessee.

 

I know because I sold this book a few years ago. I sold it as a 5.0 copy, which is the grade I purchased it as. It's a nice copy, except for that subscription crease, and a few little dings near the top and at the top of the spine. Congrats!!! Nice to see it's with a "Boardie".

 

edit: Opps!!! I am wrong, sorry. It's not the Smokey copy but looks very similar (Your copy looks a little better actually). I just tried to scan my copy and i can see they are different. Here's the scan anyway.

 

Also, I don't think pressing will help much either because it is missing color on the cover, ask Joeypost.

 

This is the Smokey Mountain Lode copy.

Hey there --

 

I've seen a couple subscription crease books graded at 5.0. Yours looks consistent with that grade, as the Owl noted.

 

Nice book,

4.5...I'm harsh on subscription creases, although that one isn't so bad...

[Hibou]

I'll jump off the cliff here and say 5.5 with a shot at 6.0 on a good day!

 

Great cover!

[Aces]

5.0 'cause of the folding crease down the middle Best case after a press 5.5-that crease isn't going to go away so 6.0 is not gonna happen.

With the 5.0 group...

5.0 for me...presents very nicely though...

I could see 5.5. The Subscription Crease breaks color a bit.
