PGM Whiz Comics 118

Recently picked this up and it was nicer than I expected it to be. Lays flat, colors are bright, cover is attached, pages or OW. There is that bit of discoloration on the spine  and the edge though. So wanted to see what people thought this would grade at. Thank you.

Very tough one, definitely need book in hand....4.5-7,not sure maybe better ... Nice looking book either way!

Hard to tell with the spine...

Beautiful color! 

Some wear on the cover..."dirty" marks

Pages are off white you say...

Not a lot of wear and tear as you would expect for a comic this old. 

I would go with a generous 6.0. A tough grade would be 4.0-4.5. Of course would be easier to grade in person. 

 

Love Captain Marvel "Shazam"! Thanks for sharing with us!

Thank you. It's mostly the spine area and the outer edge that has the dirt. I'd assume dirt from being stacked. Got another couple books from this collection coming and they suffer from the same dirt on edges issue. Otherwise the cover is flat and there isn't any indentations or creasing or wear from reading present.  Still has great gloss. The original owner really took care of these books. Not sure if a dry clean would help the book cause I'm not sure that dirt on the spine would clean up that well. If so I'd probably do it to bump the grade up a bit. Appreciate the opinions on  this one and I figured it would be a bit of a tough one.

Wow the colors on that pop better than a joker gun, conservative 5.0 but I would lean to a 6.0 thanks for sharing and good luck with the grade
