PGM: Tales to Astonish 44

Please let me know what grade you think this is. There's a perfect small piece out with what appears as tape residue. I can't actually feel the tape residue with my finger. Poor old thing.

 

Thanks for looking. (thumbs u

Beautiful book, shame about the BEFC.

This is a really tough call. The book presents itself very well, at least a 9.0 but with the bottom damage and missing piece....

5.5 IMHO! (This is a shoot)

beautiful book. Not uncommon to see a seven with a folded over corner that has broken off so i wouldn't be surprised to see EDIT 6.5/7.0 but I really don't know because of the tape stains as well.

 

Some of the more erudite graders will have to chime in.

I'd put it at an 8.0 without the (Chunk out, residue, tape pulls) so I'd be surprised if it got over a 4.5/5 with all that. But it is an interesting test case. You submitting? I'd love to hear how it grades.

[Cosmic_Shel]

Thanks for the estimates so far. I was guessing a 4-4.5 myself. I'll probably send it in because it's not a copy I would care to hold on to, and even at a 4.0 it has some value.

 

Thanks again everyone. More opinions would be great!

6.0

 

Nice cover colors.

[cpannell]

Love those cover colours. The inside pages have to be white, no?

 

5.0/5.5

 

First Janet Van Dyne. Mmmmm.

4.5

This will come back a 5.5, possibly a 6.0. I have a golden age book that has all the structural attributes of an 8.0, but has a corner chip (about same size as your missing piece) off the front cover. Mine came back 5.5.

I think a corner chip is much less obtrusive than the missing piece on this book. Unfortunately, the piece on this book it hits you right in the face. I do not think it would get a 6.0. I'm in the 4.0 camp, no higher than 4.5 .
