The most important book of the bronze age IMO. Beautiful, glossy and sharp CGC NM 9.4, Stan Lee signature on 1st interior page, a common place for his signature, but not witnessed by CGC. Excellent off White page quality. Tightly Graded Old CGC Label Goodness!

If this is ever cracked and re-subbed does it stay blue or go green you think? I am seriously curious.

[mschmidt]

It'll stay blue - the signature is on the 1st page, so it's treated as a defect instead of forcing the book into a green label slab.

nice book. looks like it is squared of nicely. GLWTS!

[comicalgems]

Could this ever regrade into a 9.6? Or does the non recognized signature make it a 9.4? Just saying looks like a really really nice 9.4 ....

[TC33]

CGC does not publish their grading standards, so if it could get a 9.4 with an interior creator signature, I don't know why it could not also get a 9.6 with it? I have seen 9.6 books look like this, but 9.4 represents a very nice book also and those two grades are so close, it just depends on the graders you get that given day. I have owned several nice copies of this book and this is one of the brightest and whitest covers I have ever seen.

I thought in this situation, structurally the book is a 9.6, but they down grade it to a 9.4 because of the sig or he could have chosen it to be a Green 9.6. Any truth to this?

[mschmidt]

It's most likely a 9.4 with or without the interior signature - even though CGC treats the sig as a defect when the book is in a blue label holder, the actual impact of the defect on the grade is miniscule.

 

I've seen plenty of blue label 9.8s with an interior sig - I'm fairly certain a 9.9 book would be knocked down to a 9.8 due to an interior sig, though.

I have a 9.6 DD #160 that has "name written on first page" as the indicia.
