Silver age book with a large chunk out of back cover 0

[Couchy81]

Hey guys I'm looking at possibly picking up a nice silver age Flash key for my collection and wondering what a chunk of missing back cover could max grade at if the front cover is in good shape. Staples are fine and cover is attached. Minimal wear on spine. Without the chunk out I'd say the book could press out to maybe a 5.0. The back cover is throwing me off. Thanks for any input.

I have a double cover modern where the outer cover is missing about 1/6 of the back cover.  The outer cover got a 2.0, if that's any help.

Thanks. So 2.0 should be a hard cap then for that size.

I'd guess it will get more of a 1.5 to 1.8 from CGC.  The Modern double cover mentioned above was probably high grade other than the missing chunk, so if your Flash book is in the 5.0 range aside from the missing chunk, I'd say 1.5 to 1.8 most likely.

you should save your money and buy a copy with all the back cover

 

just sayin...

1.0-1.5 is the max grade i'd expect

Yea I could... I'm putting together a low grade set of silver Flash keys. I do have other options I'm still considering them all.

Sorry it's not a good pic, snapped it quickly at the store on the way home from work last night while grabbing my pulls for the week. New OO set came in a couple weeks ago, about 20 books total in the set ranging from 106-150ish, most looked low-mid grade. maybe a fine or two in there i didn't have time to inspect them closely, gotta go back this weekend.

 

The #106 is the book I posted about. The rest have their covers.

I'd say 1.0-1.5 max

Thanks for the input everyone. Decided to pass on the #106 especially at the price he wants for it. Will set my sights on the better condition keys in the collection.
