PGM: Daredevil 1 - Try Not to Laugh... Have fun...

[Buzzetta]

I picked this up when I was about 11 years old for $20 and an argument with my dad over spending $20 on a comic. It looked NM to me back then. Young eyes are deceiving. I present to you the first copy of Daredevil 1 I ever had. My 6.0 is a radical improvement but I still love its ugly little sibling. I thought it was lost but while looking for some books for a FS thread I found it in the silver age Spider-mans. (I only have 12 short boxes - how could things get so misplaced?)

 

So... what do you say... what is the grade?

 

DISCLAIMER: This book is NOT, nor will it be for sale.

 

Hidden defects... a little spine splitting in the darkened cover areas. Somehow the cover is firmly attached. The brown edges are brittle. That is not tape. The interior is cream colored. I have no idea what happened to the cover. I imagine it was set next to a heat source for the 20 something years between publication and finding its way into my hands.

Cool story. I'm going 1.5 because of the brittleness/splitting.

[TheAvenger80]

High grade gem

 

haha, but seriously, 1.0

[Jaymole]

I love nostalgic stories like that.

 

I would say 1.0/1.5.

 

And in honor of Speedy-D's book naming...I am calling your book Brownie

HA!

 

I thought of that when I saw it. I had thought of 'Toasty.' However, I might send it off to be graded just for giggles and ask them to 'name' the book on the label. I am thinking of something along the lines of a post-it attached to bagged and boarded comic that says, "Please please please under the header where you would put info like it was a signed comic, please put the word 'Toasty'.

 

I wonder... ?

I just literally laughed out loud and as I type. It feels so wrong, yet still, I laugh.

[marvelcollector]

1.5, since cover is attached...

 

I've seen worse...

[Foxtrot70]

Whats the fuss, you could press this into 6.0

[MR SigS]

I'd say 1.0

I think there are too many missing edge chunks- including the CC stamp- + the splitting and brittleness to bring it to 1.5

 

I think it's GREAT that you want to keep it

[BarryAllen]

1.0

 

can you read this without damaging it further?

[Crimebuster]

1.0.

 

I've seen worse. Cool book.

[oakman29]

.5

[Buzzetta]

1.0

Yup - read it this afternoon since the 6.0 is slabbed.

[rjpb]

PR/FR .8

[Kevin.J]

I think it would grade out at 1.0

Toasty is a great name for it, I would also keep it forever

My vote is for "Brownie" Britt Chipper

[comicjack]

Got some reading copies thatl look like that still treasure them not sure if it would get 1.0 but that's my 2 cents!

[Johnny545]

.5-1.0

I'm kind of surprised it survived the fire, hurricane and tornado intact...
