PGM Star Trek #1

[mplanger]

Thinking about sending this book in. Looking for some opinions. My thoughts are around 6.5/7.0.......but I've been off the mark lately.

 

Obvious issues:

- Top and bottom folded corners.

- Scuff beside Spock's ear.

- Spine stresses.

 

Thanks in advance.

Nobody has an opinion?

[The Kaptain]

7.5-8.0?

[Fantastic Thor]

8.5

[Comicdey]

Better than you suggest

Nice book - You probably know this, but according to OSPG, the editions with the back photo cover are rarer and are listed for more $ than the other editions that just have ads on the back cover...

 

7.5

[Comicdey]

I've never see. One with ads

[Primetime]

7.5

[BarryAllen]

I concur, 7.5.

 

Kirk out.

[Primetime]

I concur, 7.5.

 

Kirk out.

acknowledged Captain.

Thanks for the feedback. I too have never seen one with the ad on the back.

A board member advised me of this on my PGM Star Trek #2

 

"OSPG has been wrong for years and refuses to change it. The rare version (same for #1) is the one with ads, in fact no one I know has ever seen one with the ads. I've seen hundreds with the photo bc."

 

So, that could explain it...I was just going by what OSPG stated. Learn something new every day in this crazy hobby!

[Ghost Rider]

7.5 Nice book overall.

I've never see. One with ads

 

Was the same thing I was thinking . . .

Better than you suggest

 

yep, methinks 8.0 / 8.5 leaning toward the higher grade.

[ROBTOTHEC]

That's a lot of color breaking spine stress lines and blunted corners, I would logically call it a 7.5!

[mplanger]

Grade came back on this book at 8.0.

 

Thanks to all for the grades.

Its a lovely book, I have a few copies but nothing like an 8.0.

 

Just to add something to the discussion of the back cover variant version of this book.

Where a lot of confusion exists is that everyone assumes the Pin up photo of Kirk on the back cover is what is meant by back cover variant.

In fact it is the inside of the back cover that is different, the outer back cover is the same for all issues.

One has ads on the inside back cover and one has photos.

I think the one with the ads is the rarer of the 2.

I dont have a one with ads, but here are a few of the photo version.

Incidentally, #2 & #3 have outer back cover photo and ad versions, just to add more confusion.

I hope this helps someone as I was looking for the wrong thing for years

 

Not this

 

But this
