PGM: Amazing Fantasy 15

[Dark Knight]

Maybe there is something going on in the interior or was it graded in an old label?

[ickwinzs]

Here is the scan with the label, I don't think anything is missing but...

If there's any weakness to the spine the book will get hammered on the grade.

[ickwinzs]

Thanks again you guys , I do have one more question. If I were to get this comic signed, or recased. Should I have it cleaned and pressed first or does that count as restoring?

[Dark Knight]

Personally, I wouldn't get a book like this signed

[Ron Rau]

Nooooooo to getting it signed. It's beautiful in it's original state.

[ickwinzs]

How about the cleaning and pressing or does this make any difference?

[Comicdey]

Dry clean and press possible if getting reholdsred anyway. Maybe you end up with a 3.5. I have a nice 3.0 and your copy appears very nice for the grade.

Great looking book, Rick. With all due respect to CD, I wouldn't clean it or press it. A re-holder for sure if the scratches bum you out, but from the looks of it, you're not going to improve the grade by messing with it. In fact, even a pro would be ultra-cautious, because dry-cleaning a fragile book is always a risk.

 

The grade would just as likely go up .5 with another grading on a different day.

 

I think the grade limiting factors are the chip at the URFC and the color loss along the spine.

[comicquant]

4.0 - 4.5

[s14roller]

4.0 - 4.5

 

Grade was already posted as a 3.0...

[ickwinzs]

But Hell, I will take a 4- 4.5!!

If you are thinking about reholdering, I would pay for graders notes and see if there are any issues with the spine (unless they don't put that kind of info in). 2nd option would be to send it to a professional presser/restorer like Matt N from CCS to evaluate the book for you. He is honest and up front on whether a book can be pressed or should be left alone.

This is exactly what I have done, its in the right hands as we speak. With the graders notes and all.
