I have this and to be honest i am really not sure what i have here, could anyone please explain what i have and how this affects the value (if any).

It's from a designated pedigree collection. In other words, the origins of the book can be traced back to the original owner. I believe this is from a collection found in suburban Detroit. It might command an additional 20% or so over a regular comparable copy in grade.

Thank you for that.

As far as Ped's go, Northland is one of my favorites..... VERY glossy books. Mike Goldman is a tight grader, so that Fine he gave it should mean the book is at least that grade. Neat book..... what are you trying to get for it?..........GOD BLESS...

I don't think i want to sell it not sure yet as superman is not really my thing.

Have you any idea what the grade F means as i thought it was a bad thing,but the comic seems to be in very good condition.

What would the value be on something like this ?

"F" means Fine, which is slightly more than half way up the scale. It would be a nice and very presentable copy that will have a moderate amount of edge wear. I think it may have been in one of the Overstreet grading guides, where it was said, "if you take away the outer 1/4" perimeter of the book, what's left will be near mint". That is certainly an oversimplification, but always stuck with me. I'd say that Fine is the grade that more people get wrong than any other...... with the possible exception of Good. GOD BLESS....

Whoever issued the certificate thought the book was of fine (F) quality which would put it at a 6 on the 10 point scale. As far as prices go there's plenty of copies you can cross reference on EBay. If you do consider selling it Jimjum is a pleasant guy to deal with.

It all makes sense when explained,thank you so much for all the help and info and if i do sell i will give Jimjum first crack of the whip !
