PGM - Fantastic Four 48

[Spider-Dan]

This copy is beautiful in hand. (pics are a little blurry - sorry)

 

I would consider this in the 8 - 9 range with great page quality.. except...... the cover is loose from the top staple

 

I was going to sell it, so Im wondering the best grade it can assign with this defect

Pictures are a bit blurry, but with what looks like stress creases on both upper corners, I would say 7.5...loose staple brings it down to 6.0 maybe...

[Hibou]

Yeah, beautiful book Dan but you're not going to want to hear this...

 

Popped staple will most likely get it a 6.0 / 6.5.

[BarryAllen]

6.0 is solid

[Spider-Dan]

Thanks for the input

 

I was thinking 6.5 max, but just wanted to get more opinions. When I go to sell, I'll have to take some better pics

Id just sell it raw.

Popped staple...can't grade higher than VG range. Otherwise sweet copy, therefore VG+. (thumbs u

Nice looking copy 7.0/7.5 because of the ceases on the TRC and TLC,I have seen slabbed books with a CGC green label for qualified grade with a staple pull.

By Overstreet standards, covers popped at one staple could not grade higher than VG-range (as Nick said).

 

By CGC standards, I guess no higher than 6.0 if no other defects are present, as this usually brings down the grade of 2/2.5 units.

 

It is a common defect which can happen with certain SA books, but I HATE it, it happened with my old FF #67 (and I cried!) and I have an Avengers #59 with it.

 

It occurs to me that this could be the only way for me to have a decent copy of this book at a good price… (No, I have not the money to buy yours, right now, I was just thinking! )
