PGM Fantastic Four #65

[HighStakesComics]

I agree with the Doc. To me, a chip out from a VF must be VERY small!

 

Right, to me we're talking 1/8" or less. But these are just my opinions of course.

 

I'll try to find one or two. It may take a while. Although not high grade, there was a FF 45 with a 3/4" X 1" piece missing from the front cover that received a CGC 5.5. I believe it was posted in the resto forum about 7-8 months ago. You guys might want to search for that. In the meantime, I'll get to work on my project.

Here's the link on the FF 45. Looks like it was a 5.0, not a 5.5. I'll be on the lookout for HG examples.

Gosh! That would be a 3.5 to me…

[DR.X]

That grade is ridiculous. I'd have trouble calling that a 3.0. That's not a piece, that's a chunk.

[DR.X]

Back to the OP book. it's not just the corner pieces bringing the grade down. There's an accumulation of smaller defects to add in too.

[vaillant]

Of course, that’s why I wouldn’t have gone higher than a VGFN.

I guess I’ll call it as such and be done with it.

From that thread

Not that bad IMHO. The rest of the book is NM. It will likely sell on the lower end of 5.0's, but technically I believe the grade could be argued.

 

The rest of that book is not NM. Not even close

I took a good look at that F.F. 45. Here's what I see.

 

Front Cover

 

1. Crease top outside corner. Corner also looks a bit blunted.

 

2. Top spine corner looks like there may be a tiny chip out. Not sure.

 

3. A few color scrapes along the spine.

 

4. Bottom spine corner has a color flake or a chip out.

 

5. Bottom edge has color flaking.

 

Back Cover - Looks pretty good from what I can see.

In retrospect it's not NM. That said, I did upgrade from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 6 since that post. Hopefully this improves my cellular grading

Claudio, you own some great copies of FFs # 64 and # 65. I still have the FF # 65 that you sold to me (unslabbed). That is my keeper copy. The one you are now showing looks to be a 5.5!

[Ghost Rider]

I can't go much beyond a very solid 4.5 Still a very nice book to have.

Hi Steve,

actually, having found a copy that I am perfectly happy with, I have now just a single copy of #64.

#65 is another matter… I am waiting for prices to drop to settle the question…

 

@Ghost Rider: … As you see, evaluations were pretty varied. Given the front cover is pretty nice I'd be inclined to call it a 5.0, but I can see your reasons to go lower…
