Amazing Spider-Man #1 - what do you reckon?

[Rexkwondoboy-migration]

Hi guys

 

First post and first time I've considered getting a comic CGC graded - so since I stumbled onto this forum thought I'd throw it out there and get some informed opinions.

 

The inside is in good shape - a few minor tears but solid as well as the spine and staples.

 

I know the front has a few obvious defects but I think this is in relatively good looking shape and doesn't detract from the artwork.

 

What you think?

Wished I Owned one of those, even in a low grade! Personally, I would get it graded to try and help preserve it more.

2.0

[tjanse]

1.8/2.0

[storypapers]

definitely 2.0

[Rexkwondoboy-migration]

Thanks for the responses - after looking at some CGC graded examples on eBay I'm hoping for a 3.0...

[storypapers]

Hard to go by those examples...seems CGC marks down spine splits more than small pieces missing...and then add to that the tape and clipped corners.

 

That scribbled one is structurally sound and why it gets as goos as a 2.5...but has not sold...and would get low end of the scale value wise as it has little if any eye-appeal.

 

I stay with a 2.0

Those samples don't have tape on them. I think 2.0 with a chance at 2.5. Can't see that as a 3

[ItsJustRyan]

2.5 was the number that jumped into my head

[Rexkwondoboy-migration]

Thanks guys - i'll be submitting it at some point soon although I may get it CGC SS submitted as Stan Lee will be appearing (for the last time) at London's film and comic con in July...

 

I'll post my actual grade as soon as I receive it

2.5 for me too....Agree that a 3.0 is a long shot.

Scan is too small for anymore than a rough guess. Looks a solid 2.0 to me, but could easily be a CGC 2.5, 3.0 unlikely but not impossible given the vagaries of their grading.

 

I agree even with the tape and corner pieces missing, it looks far better than that scribble copy.

Firstly a very warmto the boards and the PGM thread!

[timfinz]

Your scans are on the "small" side to be able to give you an accurate grade, however my thought was 2.5 at first glance.

 

Good luck with you submission and I hope you keep us posted on the results!

[ROBTOTHEC]

NO 3.0 for YOU!!

Probably 2.0, slight shot at 2.5. GOOD LUCK!

[Rexkwondoboy-migration]

Thanks for your comments - To be honest i would still be happy with an ASM #1 in a 2.0 grade condition....

[Primetime]

2.5 tops.
