PGM: Amazing Spider-Man #300

[fmaz]

Came today, unbagged and unboarded in a pile of comics I bought from e-bay very inexpensively... so there's that... but was horrified when I saw how it was packaged. Still, it came with about 40 other ASM books so I'm pretty happy over all.

 

Very curious as to what people think with this one. Worthy of pressing and grading? There's definitely some spine roll. Or is it not a book of a caliber of that, and better to just release it back into the wild?

 

Thanks!

Not worth it. Pressing won't help what ails this book. Use that money to just buy a nicer copy.

Anyone want to chip in with a grade? I'd appreciate it as I don't want to over/under sell it.

 

Thanks!

I would say in the FN range with the creasing, scratching and general wear.

FN, FN+ or so, I would not venture in the VF range but looks nice for one who wants an inexpensive copy (actually I’m not up to date with the value on the book).

Thanks, before anyone commented my uneducated guess would have been to call it FN/VF but I will go with FN+ unless anyone else disagrees. I'm glad I was at least in the right ballpark. :-)

5.0? Not worth pressing or slabbing.

I would say 6.0, and a press might get you to 6.5 or 7. If you are selling it that might net you an extra $20 ($120 vs $140).

6.5

7.0

5.5

5.5 IMHO! Impact damage on the front cover and overall general wear are what contributes to the lower grade score on this book.

It looks like that has a slight spine roll: a top right corner is outward (front cover) and a bottom right corner is inward. That may be a big factor for downgrading.

 

Let's play it safe at 6.0.

Thanks to all! I just listed this for sale here as a FN per the great info from everyone. Much appreciated as I was struggling to grade it.
