Please grade my Green Lantern #40

[Fandango]

One of a few books I’m looking to move on over the next few weeks - not wanting to short change anyone, and I can't grade for toffee, so I would appreciate any input. Thanks.

F-, no big flaws just a bunch of reoccuring small ones.

I was thinking VG/FN 5.0 or FN- 5.5 - couldn't choose between them.

[rjpb]

Structurally it looks about a FN, but due to the general grubiness of the white areas, especially on the back cover, I'd have to go with a VG/F 5.0, assuming no hidden spine split and at least cream pages.

[Fandango]

Thanks for the input all, much appreciated. Ref any sale, would it be worth getting the book slabbed in this grade?

[Murph]

Most likely not. You know what WOULD be interesting though. Is using our grades as references in the description. Has anyone tried that? "This book is a CGC forums VF+" or whatever..?

I agree. Ignoring the soiling, it appears to be structurally close to a FN 6.0 -- a worthy wonder bread candidate if ever there were . . .

 

but, then again, there may be a bit too much spine wear for a FN

 

As is 5.0

[Dave_Hennen]

I agree with the VG/F grades

 

I've tried the Wonder Bread thing on a couple of $1-2 books without any luck, be careful with a key like this. It's a great book no matter what the grade!

You're probably right - I've never tried the wonder bread thing myself

VG/F 5.0

As is 5.0

 

Yup, pretty much agree here.

[rjpb]

I don't recall there ever before being such broad agreement on the condition of a comic. Astounding.

5.0 - 5.5
