PGM Action 252

[Readymade Breakup]

This book has been pressed. There was paper fill that was removed that left a spine split in the upper left corner and a tear at the top staple. The book is still attached/hanging on for dear life at the top staple. There was also color touch in the paper filled areas that was removed. The stain to the lower corner of the back cover effects the interior pages, gradually disappears and is gone toward the front of the book. Otherwise the interior is solid. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

3.0 IMHO! The stain on the front and back cover are too much to push the grade any higher!

Stain goes all the way through the book. CGC will kill the book for that.

 

I'm going with a 2.5

3.0

Agreed 2.5

[Kevin.J]

3.0 for me

[Maccai3]

i'll go 2.0 since i know how unforgiving they can be with stains, i have a book that presents like an 8/8.5 which is graded 5.5

[zosocane]

2.0.

Hey Matt...

 

 

I'll say a 2.5/3.0 as well but I'd lean towards a 3.0.

 

Actually, the book presents nicely.

[comicjack]

2.5/3.0 have one that looks pretty close to yours.Hot book!

[Readymade Breakup]

Thanks all for your thoughts. I was thinking 3.0 considering the stain is on the back cover. It's not as harsh on the interior pages and eventually fades out, but I do know stains can be grade killers.

 

Hey David! This book kind of reminds me of the 3.5 we both had our hands on for a minute. Same types of defects/redeeming qualities, but instead of a chunk reattached to the front cover with tape, this one has the stain to the back. I subbed that one, but this one goes back in the box...until I go on a spending bender again that is.

 

Thanks again all!

[Hibou]

Nothing wrong with hanging on to that book!

 

It's only becoming more and more in demand and you're right about that 3.5.

 

Take care!

It doesn't seem that CGC is as tough on stains as they were in the early years, especially in 5.0 and under books, if anything they are a little lenient, at least on GA, these days.

I agree with David. Hard lean to 3.0. But possible 2.5 if the graders struck out the night before.

Do all three graders have to score?

[The-Collector]

2.5

+1

 

That stain is sizable, and the bleed through keeps it from getting into the 3.0 range. I'd still like to have it.

2 out of 3. You might be in trouble considering this is the comic book world...
