PGM Fantastic Four #49: 1st Full Galactus

[DavidTheDavid]

Hi, all. Your thoughts are most appreciated.

 

Front cover has very nice colors. Front and rear cover have ncbc that would press out. Interior off-white. Some gripper tears on interior--should count as manufacturing problems. Staples are clean.

 

Click links for large pics, then click image to zoom. Thanks!

6.5 tops. too much stress on the spine and that bottom spine corner ding.

[jsilverjanet]

isn't your issue 49?

[jsilverjanet]

6.5/7.0

[DavidTheDavid]

Thanks, Dr. X.

 

I purchased this raw from Heritage Auctions as the following grade:

 

F/VF

 

 

By the way, HA ships their raws in an unpadded envelope.

6.5/7.0

Yeppers, thanks!

[tjanse]

6.5

[DavidTheDavid]

Thanks, all. Any other thoughts?

I agree it looks borderline F+/FVF from the scans, probably a FVF as stated since each age is obviously treated according to paper quality, page stock quality, aging, etc. in mind.

 

Besides the minor creasing that is really a nice copy, similar to mine (which is probably lower, and yours has better centering), which I bought as a gracious offering in the charity thread to help Beau's wife – I am very grateful for that.

I'm going 6.0, possibly 6.5.

[vaillant]

I can’t see the bottom spine corner ding, where is that, Doc?

[Vision75]

6.5 for me too!

[DavidTheDavid]

Hey, thanks everyone. Very much appreciate the feedback. I was thinking 6.5, too. It needs a press, though I think that will do more to ensure that it hits 6.5 than goes above that.
