Please grade my 2 issues of DD Man Without Fear 1

[Bird]

Okay, first off sorry for the scan quality. The lines down the middle that extend into the black are obviously scanning artifacts. Unfortunately, the stuff on the edges is on the books, although it looks so harsh in the light of the scan!

So please give me a best guesstimate. One has Frank Miller and Al Williamson sigs on the front and the other has JRJR and Al Williamson.

Okay, here's Frank.

 

and here's Junior

 

sorry it is off center

 

Now Junior looks a bit better than Frank, but would the Frank sig put value over Junior despite possibly better condition?

 

Thanks everyone!

Frank & Al = 8.0 IMHO! Green Label = Qualified as CGC obviously did not witness the signatures!

JRJR & Al = 9.4 IMHO! Green Label = Qualified for the same reason!

Awesome. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me a grade. I will admit I'm a bit surprised at the disparity I guess those corners really make a difference I guess they should

[timfinz]

Keep in mind that I am only looking at a scan. Having the book in hand is more precise. Also the scans are a bit on the small size. They are a great size to imbed within the thread because they don't screw with the screen size, however if you provide links to larger scans at 300, 600 or 1200 dpi then it would allow me to be more precise on the scanned grade.

Having said all of this, I am not by any means a professional grader and even CGC gets it wrong sometimes (or so we like to think).

At CGC there are at least three people that grade the book and then converse if there is any disparity of grades to reach a decision. The same might apply here. The more reviews you get the better chances of ascertaining an agreeable grade amongst the masses as it were.

Cheers!

Thanks Tim you make some great points. Maybe later I'll upload some larger scans
