Grade this Marvel Spotlight 5

[greggy]

Per Pimper's request, please grade this book! He does not own it so I can't provide any additional information.

 

 

[ArAich]

The edges of the back cover are suspect and the top staple looks slightly pulled...I'm thinking 8.5 - 9.0 ....

[greggy]

Yo...don't be mad! It's not my book nor do I have any financial interest in it! Did the Huskies lose?

[ArAich]

Hey...you're the one that put a mad face on this thread...I was just reciprocating ....and the girls won...

[Bugaboo-migration]

I'd go with a 9.0

 

There is a tiny amount of wear on the front bottom......top staple looks like it might have some slight wear......and both upper corners on the back side are suspect.

[Ares]

9.2 at most

withou lookign at inside

[aardvark88]

9.2 if it does not have small tear on back cover left edge.

[Rickdogg]

I would give a grade, but the DPI needs to be better. Looks 9.0-9.2

[greggy]

I agree that the DPI should have been better but I can only work with what's given to me!

[Bugaboo-migration]

How about if I give you a pimp slap.......could you work with that?

[greggy]

Give me whatever you have because it's not going to reach me across the www!

If we're talking CGC standards, I don't think this would hit 9.2 because of the stricter standards they apply to bronze. I would say 9.0. Personally, I would think high end 9.0, but not quite 9.2.

[Rickdogg]

For some odd reason, the "black frame" bronze age marvels like MS #5 and MTU #1 tend to be "overgraded" by CGC. I spoke to a few of the graders and they mentioned that many of the flaws on these books are deducted less severely due to production flaws rather than mishandling. Murph should know more about this "overgrading" on the MS #5. I remember him mentioning it in an old thread. This also goes for the MTU #1's that have passed through my hands.

 

Greg, GET A BETTER SCAN!

Greg, GET A BETTER SCAN!

 

Hey, this was sent by the seller of the book to Supa! I can't do anything about it! Yep, I agree that the seriously off-centered 9.4 copies of this book looks fugly! At least this copy is reasonably well centered!

[murph0]

Unfortunately, this isn't the case when it comes to black frame books. As per what Rick has said, bronze 9.4's with the black frame (Luke Cage #1, MTU #1, and MS #5) all tend to be given...the benefit of the doubt, I guess. I've owned a total of 9 CGC 9.4's of Marvel Spotlight #5 now, as well as 5 raw copies. Given that this scan is a bit pixelated so some marks may or may not be there. As long as the spots along the spine above the top staple are non-color breaking or non-existant. This is sadly probably a 9.4, the only thing that causes me to pause would be the top of the spine where it looks like there may be an impact mark at the top bindary corner. If that's the case, it may be a 9.2. Unless there's something else out there that doesn't show up on the scan, I'd say a 9.2 at the very least in CGC terms. But as far as my personal opinion, CGC not withstanding, I'd give it a 8.5 or 9.0 at best

OK, I'm going to snipe it!

 

BTW, who's bright idea to have the friggin' line to seperate our signature and our post? Are the coinees that stupid that they can't distinguish between the two?

[supapimp]

some coinee slash comic reader started it, ID is GP, snipe? and you'll never live a day W/O me pumping up your auctions.

[greggy]

Hey, didn't the last copy of his go for over $200? Too rich for you and you know it!

[ninanina]

Greggy,

I am thinking a 9.0 to a 9.2. CGC doesn't seem to worry too much about what the defects are on the back covers.
