PGM Batman #251

[MattJr35]

Hi, I had been searching for this issue for a long time, and finally got one. I would appreciate any help in letting me know how well of a score I made. There are no visible tears. The major flaws are on the back side. A large crease at the bottom right, and a tacky substance up at the top right. Feels like residue from tape, or a sticker or something. Thank you in advance for your time. If I missed adding any important information, please let me know. I'd be happy to add more detail.

6.5 to 7.0

6.0

Is that another stain on the URC front cover by the 20 cents?

 

With the other flaws and residue which even if removed will most likely leave a stain, I couldn't go higher than 5.0.

If you're talking about left (not right) back cover, those look like production creases so not as harmful to grade as you think. Just FYI.

And yeah, 6.0 for now. If the gunk could be removed ...

I was noticing this. Is that browning - staining, smutz, production defect, my notoriously bad eyes?

And I do admit that I grade harshly - keeps my expectations low so I am not as disappointed when I submit

 

So my grade is most likely too low and those with the 6.0 are closer to the mark.

Thank you! Wish everyone was as welcoming as you are.

I went back and looked at it, and cant tell exactly what it is. I don't think it's a stain from liquid, because the texture stays consistent to the unaffected areas around it. I think it may be a smudge from the black ink around the 20 cent dot, or it is browning.

Nice book and welcome to the boards!

 

I'm going with the general consensus of a 6.0 but I wouldn't be surprised if you sneak a 6.5 on a good day.

 

Best of luck
