Grade on this Conan #1?

[greggy]

OK, as I am bored with not contributing positively to the boards, here's a copy of Conan 1 that I will be submitting soon. What's your prediction? Main wear is in the bindery area and the top back cover wear seen in the scan!

I'm guessing 9.2 possibly a 9.4.....based upon the problems that you described....Deifinatly a nice Conan.....

[g-man]

the top left corner might make it a 9.2 but i would go with a 9.4. have seen much worse 9.4s.

[FlyingDonut]

sell it to me!

 

[drbanner]

Sweet - looks like a poster (the kind you hang on your wall)! I'll say 9.4, but a little bird told me something about wanting a 9.6/9.8???

[chromium]

I think this is a prime example that just falls between the 9.2 and 9.4 mark (more based on your description than the scan)... I guess it all depends on the graders that day....purty book though !

[Bugaboo-migration]

Looks like a 9.4 to me.

[Guest]

Looks like a solid 9.4 to me.

[Bonds25]

Nice copy! I'd guess a 9.2.

[supapimp]

who am i? i'll give you $50 for it

[Bronty]

Pfft! Haters! I have seen this book in person and will take all bets that it gets at least a 9.6. I'm serious, if anybody wants to bet me $50 just let me know.

 

PS - Greggy's right - you wouldn't grade your own collections that tough!

 

Dan

[ArAich]

I,ll take that bet....

[supapimp]

hey bronty, is that canadian or US dollars?

[Bronty]

If you're serious, the bet is on. Please confirm.

[Bronty]

US

[Bronty]

PS, further thoughts on the Conan 1... when, in an earlier thread, I stated it was a likely 9.8 I hadn't yet seen the slight bump on the back cover. This will probably knock it down to a 9.6 in my opinion. However, those of you that say 9.2 please go duck your heads in a bucket of water. Like I said, I've seen this book in person and it has dazzling eye appeal.

 

I am still taking bets. Still backing up 9.6 with $50 a shot. C'mon haters

[ArAich]

If you're serious, the bet is on. Please confirm.

 

Confirmed....

[Darthdiesel]

If you're serious, the bet is on. Please confirm.

 

I'll take double on that action, Bronty...$100 it is not a 9.6...

 

Greggy, tear an inside page and I'll split the $100 with you

[greggy]

Yo, the loss in value on that book from a potential 9.6 to lower is not worth a friggin $50! Not some POS modern we are talking about here!

[Darthdiesel]

Ahhhh...A Loey special...4.0 VG+ at best....tell everyone about the loose centerfold...
