B&B 28 - Grade please

[Comic Geek-migration]

book has a 2 1/2 to 3" tear on right edge almost tearing wonder woman off, also first page has 1" tear and 4" crease. I would appreciate grades and opinions on slabbing as is or having the tear fixed and getting a PLOD.

 

 

 

 

 

here's a pic of the tear, wonder woman is only hanging on by less than an inch

1.0....where ya get that at...looks like it needs some restoration,at least cleaned

[goldust40]

1.5

 

Certainly no higher than that - the book's seen better days.....

Thanks for your input guys, I knew it wasn't much just needed help deciding how low it would grade. I guess I'll just keep it as a reader copy - not worth slabbing.

Given how close WW is to falling off, I would restore this book. A tear seal along with a clean and press would really brighten it and enhance eye appeal. You could have a much better looking book for $150 or so.

 

In lower grades such as this, a slightly restored book doesn't have the extreme negative effect that it does in higher grades.

i think these are good points and tend to agree that a little mending and cleaning would make for a much more presentable copy of one of DC's truly KEY books of the Silver Age.......

I agree completely.

Looks like the "dumpster" pedigree . . .

Not nice!

 

I'd take it.

 

Structurally, it looks very sound and the PQ is decent. I'd bet it would clean up VERY nicely with slight resto.

Actually, it's a compliment and a private joke (which you couldn't have got)
