PGM Tales of Suspense #39

[427Impaler]

Recently acquired this book and wondering what the consensus is on its grade. Initially I was thinking 1.8-2.0 but I have seen several books in that range that are very tough, with fairly large pieces out of the cover, etc.

 

The staples are still both holding although there is some tearing, and the spine is split one and a half inches at top and half inch at bottom. Centerfold is very tight and secure and PQ is very good at off white-white.

 

Without further ado, here it is:

I'd say you are on the money with 1.8/2.0 spine split and what ever those stains are kills your chances for a higher grade. But it is a nice presenting book for the grade

1.8

 

Some books with larger pieces out at that grade or higher don't have the other issues like rough spines and staining, and others are just overgraded.

1.5 looks like mine

I'd say you are on the money with 1.8/2.0

Thanks folks, that is kind of what I was thinking. I was tempted to get the cover cleaned and some tear seals done but I will most likely just send it in and get whatever blue label it gets.

 

Cheers!

Don't do anything with it. Just send it straight to CGC!!! Remember that guy who regretted for sending his AF #15 to CCS instead of CGC. The cover was detached after the pressing.

Back cover is just good enough to eek out a 2.0 IMHO. GL

2.0 tops. 1.8 on the low. It's better than a 1.5.

 

I like that both sets of quotation marks are shown. One set is often cut on the right edge
