Bronty Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 This book is absolutely newstand fresh - including white interiors - but it has heavy pre-marvel chipping along most of the right edge. I don't even know how something like this would grade? Probably about poor minus. I'll give you 5 bucks for it... $10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvel_runs Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have a ST 105 CGC'd at 9.0 with prechipping. I think my TOS 40 has a few tiny marvel chips out and it graded 7.5. If there's no other wear, I can see it getting from 7.5-8.5 on a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I also got a look at a stack of JIM's yesterday, but only a handful met the 3P's (Presentability, Pages, Price). I'm thinking now that I may have been too picky, but while none of these books are high grade, some have bone white pages and they feel just great: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Here's the other half of the 8 JIM's I picked up yesterday. I certainly appreciate the kind comments and PM's, yet to repeat these are not high grade copies - their presentability (I keep using that word because it is so important to me) surpasses what would be their technical grade. I'm really enjoying them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Beautiful books! Where did you pick up such a large grouping in one fell swoop? LCS? Dealer local to you? Private collector? It was a short road trip to a really great shop. I hope to go there again in a few weeks and look at the lower grade items that I passed over too quickly the other day. Unfortunately, they suffered a theft earlier this year and a nice selection of the pre-hero books were taken. What a shame, I really hate friggin' thieves.
