PGM ASM #200

[timfinz]

Thinking of sending this one to get CGC'd. I have a grade in mind but I am curious what you might think? The book is flat and clean. There are no major flaws apparent and the interior of the book is complete with white pages. There is a small colour break midway between Spidey's right knuckle and the page edge but this appears to be a common occurrence on this cover. Also what may appear to be edge wear on the RH side of the front cover is in my best judgement colour fading. Most covers I've seen have a significant dent in about the same location where this cover has fading. As always your input and comments are greatly appreciated.

I'd say 8.5 for the color losses.

Fairly common book in slabs. I've owned 3 from 7.0 to 9.0

I'd keep this as a reader and look for a HG slab for sale

Wow Scott! That opinion was a shocker! I viewed numerous scans of this book and based on the high res comparisons I thought this book might even push 9.8 or even 9.9. Almost every book I reviewed had a major chip on the RHS near Spidey's hand - including almost every 9.8 I reviewed. Can't imagine I was off that far?

I was thinking 9.4

Maybe it's the scanner screen, but the corners on the back look to have a few problems. The bottom left has a dirt transfer that makes it look like it has a light crease. The color breaks on the FC didn't help. 8.5 does seem to have been hasty, perhaps I rushed it, but I don't see a 9.8 or 9.9

 

 

Maybe I'd need to see this in hand, but the corners don't look sharp enough for higher than 9.4 with zero additional defects.

 

But I've been wrong with square bounds before

I've spent the last 16 min 50 seconds going over the scan. Looks like I eventually got it right.

9.4 on a good day

9.2

9.4 I think.

 

Corner nubbing looks to be only real defect. Could fall between 9.4 to 9.2 I just dont think it will pull a 9.6

9.2/9.4.

 

Probably significantly better in hand than on the scan.

Yes. YES! That's it
