While we're at it check out this Avengers #57

[Nefaria]

 

Would getting this book graded be a good idea?

Nef,

 

Sweet copy - can you sharpen up the scans a bit? Run them at 200 dpi and then re-size to 4" maintaining the 200 dpi.

 

This issue in VF 8.0 or better should definitely be slabbed (if you plan to sell it). Mine's at CGC right now, due back in a couple of months.

That's better, maybe my monitor was out of phase . . .

 

9.2 (perhaps a 9.4)

[Nefaria]

Hi diva, I was just checkin out your auctions. My scan is at 150 dpi and I targeted 6" then I save 50% quality. I didn't change the post so maybe your monitor or night vision was awray.

[KingOfRulers]

Looks like a 9.0 to me.

8.5.

I've only got one High Grade book of note listed at present

Regarding the scans, sounds good - bump it up to 200 next time. Do the rest of your books look like this?

Why Pete (the questions get harder!) It's not like it's MY book

I wish. I've got almost a complete run on the AVENGERS. I did sell my VF copy of #2 some years back and I never had a copy of #1 and my #4 has my brothers name written on the cover. But ya, a lot of them are pretty nice. I needed to grow up some before I took better care of them.

Looks 8.0/8.5ish to me. I count 8 colour breaks plus a tiny crease LRFC; the sort of book I would probably call a 8.5 but I could imagine a dealer telling me was actually "only" a VF 8.0.

 

Still a super book (as FD might say) to have!

[inconceivable]

8.5.

Not answering for uclapeterg, but the ding on the lower right hand corner may be more than the front cover. You sort of see the same thing on the lower left back corner. Oh, I think 8.5 myself.

Book in hand and a calculator. I count one spine crease at Hawkeye's head. One across from Vis's elbow, One across from his wrist and one at the bottom of the lower staple. The only one with any color separation is by Hawkeye’s head and it's only 1/1000" that was with cheaters a magnifying glass and a micrometer. It has a beautiful cover with no dents and smooth as a baby’s behind.

9.0

Nefaria, super sweet book! Two questions:

1- does the lower right corner look the same in real life or better? It looks a little "crumpled" for lack of a better term.

2- There looks like there is a vertical reading line to the left of the stress mark at Visions hand?

Depending on the two defects

8.5 or 9.0.

Ultra sweet book, and one i would be interested in.

[Nefaria]

LRFC is about the same as in hand inspection. Inner pages only have a hint that something happened to that corner. There is no reading line anywhere. That stress mark to the left of his hand (in the cape) is very minute.

[arexcrooke]

Well, if the impact goes into the book, it might not get but "only" a VF. Still, that is a very nice copy of one of my top 3 favorite covers.

Oh yea, then 9.4. What's going on in the lower right corner? It looks like a bend to me. If I'm seeing things, then 9.0/9.2 for the spine stresses.

Sorry, I should have made that clearer - when I said 8 colour breaks, I didn't mean spine stresses, but other whitish spots on the cover, that SA books seem particularly prone too (my poor ASMs ). I usually count them as 1 defect each in my bizarre little mental universe - no idea what the CGC attitude is!

 

Oh and I think that if you need a magnifying glass to see a defect, it's not a defect. To me.
