Thoughts on National Comics #9

[telerites]

Lower grade with tape on spine but overall not a bad book and relatively solid with nice PQ considering everything.

 

Thoughts?

 

I am thinking 2.0.

If the tape is covering a spine split then I think you're right at 2.0. If it's partially covering a spine split and partially over good cover 2.5. If it is just reinforcing and not covering a split at all 3.0.

I’d be OK with a GD+.

A spare copy?

My other copy is a beauty, Claudio, but it has been trimmed so I wanted an unrestored copy and they don't come for sale too often. Now need an upgrade for my # 8. That's a tough one.

2.5 for me.

Trimming is one of the most annoying things, but if it’s just on one side, and very minimal, I think it’s acceptable in rare books or GA material.

So you’re keeping both?

 

Yes, #8 appears one of the toughest, but also #18. I don’t recall if I showed you my upgraded #18, but I think you may have seen it around… it has a reglossed cover but is very nice!

[telerites]

I wonder if that is the same #18 I got off of HA that had the undisclosed reglossed cover. I won it and returned it when I saw the restoration. They listed it a few weeks later with the glossing disclosed. Is that where you got it?

 

I already have a #18 but it is my other PLOD in the run so again was trying to get an unrestored copy.

 

Yeah holding both #9s right no . I sell so rarely.

Oi, tough one. I'm going to dodge a bit as I don't feel comfortable grading on the low end of the scale, but thunsicker's thoughts are where my mind goes.

2.5 or so...... GOD BLESS...

Thanks all. Never sure how tape will affect the grade but it is such low grade, most likely doesn't matter.

 

Appreciate the thoughts
