PGM Conan 1

[Furby]

I'm planning to sell this, by far the inferior of my two copies, and I'm wondering what you fine folks think it merits as a grade. The upper right corner tear is not good -- it is still attached but my guess is it wouldn't take much to complete the tear.

With the rust and water stains, 3.5 IMHO...

Still some great colors!

IMHO 3.5 Water stains and at least two significant tears!

[Furby]

Agreed. I was thinking 4.0. And you're right -- the colors are really nice. A shame someone took such lousy care of it (Then again, I picked it up for $5 at an antique store, so how can I really complain?).

I'm at 3.5

3.0 water staining and rusty staples. Still, it's a Conan #1.

 

Try turning down your brightness. There's no need to scan at 600 dpi either - it doesn't increase the quality of the image. 250 dpi is plenty, it's the compression you need to watch out for. There are two components to accurate scans: 1) the scanner; and 2) the graphics software. I'm guessing both are sub-par here.

Thanks for the grading feedback.

 

As for the scans, I appreciate the advice you repeatedly have been giving me, but I like scanning at 600 dpi and I have zero problem viewing these images. And after turning down saturation in Photobucket, I find these scans incredibly easy to view in great detail.

 

If my scans aren't what you like, I won't be offended if you decide not to offer an opinion.

 

Cheers!
