I guess with some more tape and the cover aligned much better the grade went up a half a point. I never understood why it was so poorly aligned in the first place. It will be interesting to see how this does as the original ebay Sparkle City price of $9600 was felt to be very strong. Now the same book with a half grade bump is back up for sale a short time later.

And I think they got it into a normal GA slab..prior I believe it was in a mag size slab.

Pages look nice.

When it was listed on C-link for sale a few weeks back I had them send me a back cover scan as this is in my price range.

 

The back cover was short of the left edge by what seems 1/2".

Yikes!

I can post the pic tonight when I get home.

 

I find it hard to believe that some auction houses don't post back covers of high $ comics.

 

All of my comic listings on ebay show front and back cover scans. Even $10 and under comics get the back cover scanned.

Agree completely.

Here's the previous FC scan. Looks like that piece in upper right came off when it was re slabbed.

Reminds me of Cousin Eddie talking about his daughter.

 

"She falls down a well, her eyes go cross. She gets kicked by a mule, they go back. I don't know."

 

"Book gets taped up, a piece falls off. Book gets re graded, grade goes up. I don't know."

[Scrooge]

I betcha it also got a CVA upgrade. Looks much better now

It is one fugly book. I am just floored at the prices these low grade books are commanding for price. I would personally own one book in 4.0 to 6.0 than 10 books in this type of condition but to each their own.

[Mio]

That book is really uggy... I would rather own it after being revitalized; but as noted, to each their own.

Anyone else hate the bonus cgc gives taped books? At the very list they should green label these. Personally I avoid any book that has been taped.

Agreed, adding tape to bump the grade is a black eye for CGC. For the benefit of future generations, this comic needs restoration by a profession, not a tape job.

[mrmyst]

It's a bit disconcerting that someone could apply non-archival tape to a book and get an upgrade in a blue label holder, yet applying archival fully removable rice paper or some such to seal a spine split will get a purple. Alas though, this has been hashed and re-hashed.

[shrunkenhead]

I don't approve of the tape bump either, of course. But fugly or no, it is a Tec 29. I'd rather have a beater 29 than a short stack of 6.0 lesser keys and non-keys.

[Hibou]

It also took a hit on the top right corner...

 

Piece fell off during pressing?

 

What did it sell for at the 1.0 grade?

 

And I'm not sure how it got a 1.5 in it's current state regardless of tape.

 

That BC isn't a slight miscut... it's been trimmed.

 

Why no designation as such?!
