PGM Tales of Suspense 48

[DiamondCityComics]

No tears, bottom is a little color loss not rips or chips.

Had to take pics as my scanner is out of commission right now. Back looks a bit wavy but only because the way it was lying on the rug.

Spine wear, cb crease center on back spine, creases along spine. Staining on back on center outer edge or slight water damage, Soft corners, A sub crease near dolls arm.

 

5.5

[ROBTOTHEC]

I am torn between 5.5 and 6.0.

[Mailman_Comics]

5.5 to be safe but no better than a 6.0

[DiamondCityComics]

Thanks guys!!

[Hado]

I would be at a 6.0 but the top of the spine may bring it down to a 5.5.

Very cool book

[Jester Hats]

I'm gonna go for it and say.. 6.0!

[Lost]

I'm at 6.5 with a chance at 7.0. The "water stains" are finger prints from grubby hands that read this book, as found on MANY comic books in that area. No huge ugly spine ticks, sharp corners, bright colors, and this book presents very well. Do any of you own 5.5's???

 

Look at some CGC 7.0's. I'll do the work for you - click the big picture if you have an account.

Sharp corners???Going off the example you gave, yeah, 5.5 no better than a 6.0

[NinjaSealed]

5.5, 6.0 on a good day.

5.5/6.0 (thumbs u

 

 

Cool book.

Someone should have warned me newbies with bad grading skills took over this forum.

[gadzukes]

I think it's a solid 6.0.

If you slip a $20 under the cover when you submit it it'll bump to a 6.5

That's a weak 7.0 - mainly due to foxing which CGC doesn't seem to think is a flaw.

The cbc at the top right is similar to the one at the bottom right of the posted book, but that looks to have an additional crease as well as some added wear on the bottom. The brightness of the image makes it a bit hard to judge thoroughly.

 

Still I would agree it looks nicer than a 5.5 - though not a 7.0 either IMHO. Probably 6.0- 6.5.

Thanks. I think I just needed some form of validation (any really) I haven't totally lost my mind.... :-D

[Darkowl]

6.0 any day

[shadroch]

Easy 6.0. Maybe a 6.5 on the right day.

Get the scanner back together.

 

With fuzzy photos and the blue shag background,

I can't get my eyes in focus.
