I'm Thinking about submitting this one.

Thanks for looking!

Nize looking copy!

Looks good enough to make 9.4, but I think it will depend on how white the cover is in hand.

9.4 (thumbs u

[SuperiorSpiderMan]

8.5 / 9.0

 

Check the top and bottom of spine FC in the large scan and bottom left corner BC large scan. 9.0 tops. Book does not need to be pressed but a cleaning would help much. Pretty book.

9.4 IMHO! Amazing Spine Man!

The corners have issues but from the size of the scans I would consider them to be minor. Really sharp copy!

Good point. I may have been a bit too conservative grading from the larger scan.

Check the census before submitting. This was a warehouse book.

Good advice, as always. (thumbs u

Thanks everyone for the grades! I have one already graded at 9.0 and was looking to upgrade would a warehouse book mean you shouldn't get it graded?

Curious what is a warehouse book? I don't think I've ever heard this term.

 

Thanks!

I believe its when some previously undiscovered supply of undistributed,high grade books is sold into the market (eg. GSX 1, ASM 300)

There are a relatively large number of graded copies of this issue already in the marketplace, potentially depressing values.

 

To compare, here are the total numbers of ASM issues graded (preceding and following #62). Some of these may be considered keys. I don't think the Medusa issue is a key, but others may consider it so.

 

Issue #59 MaryJane cover

929

Issue #60 Kingpin cover.

396

Issue #61

501

Issue #62 Medusa cover.

897

Issue #63

355

Issue #64 Vulture cover

1032

Issue #65

554

Issue #66 Mysterio cover

653

Thanks, I did a search and found a couple of interesting threads about warehouse books.

Is ASM 300 a warehouse book? I just thought it was a copper age book from a major publisher (= massive print run) and since it was a milestone issue was hoarded.

[southerncross]

I thought that 12 cent cover ASpm where he is drowning on front cover was a warehouse book

I think number in the 30's
