PGM Fantastic Four #4

[MBA Guy]

Thank you in advance!

 

Book is complete with nice W/OW pages and has just the slightest of a spine roll which is hardly noticable. Front bottom right corner has a color breaking crease and the bottom spine has a 10 mm (1 cm) tear. There are several ticks along the spine.

 

Would you CGC this book and if so, would a clean and press bump up the grade significantly or only marginally?

4.5-5.0...leaning toward the higher grade...

[makeminemego]

I see it as at least a 4.5 as is, and I think a clean and press could help, even if only marginally. All things being equal, even a marginal grade bump would be substantial on an FF 4.

 

Great looking book. Congrats.

[DR.X]

5.0

[Phill the Governor]

5.5

[Mheisler-migration]

6.0

5.5 clean and press would give it a bump.

[Boboset]

5.5

 

Clean and press could push it to a 7.0 (CGC is weak on the mid grades right now IMO)

[timfinz]

I was thinking around 4.5 to 5.0.

[ROBTOTHEC]

I bet this is much closer to a 4.5 in hand, even though it presents a

little nicer.

[ChicksCosmiComics]

Yeah 4.5/5.0 tops for me. There are too many defects which are non pressable IMO. Certainly a clean would do it good. I had a FF #4 which was a 5.0 and it looked much better than this example

[Dick Pontoon]

Make sure it's complete and has the pinup if you're going to sub it.

5.0- great book- Congrats!

[Primetime]

4.5 my favorite early FF

[ImperiusRex]

I agree about the defects and presentation in hand. 4.5 for me. However, you should get the book dry cleaned so all then soiling is removed and pressed to try to resolve and non CB spine creases. This is a SA key, so a 1 or 2 grade jump increases your return a lot. Usually there is a large price value increase at 6.0 and above. Definitely have it graded

Thanks for the info!

4.5 to 5.0

[comicjack]

5.0/5.5 nice book!

[Kramerica]

5.0 and I think you definitely need the clean & press.

[Aces]

5.0/5.5

 

A nice clean and good press would probably ensure the 5.5.
