PGM Black Panther #1 0

Black Panther #1.  Been in my attic for 35 years.  (Acid free box & bag but not temp controlled).

Nice book, 9.0 or better.  The only flaw I see is a bend in the bottom-right corner.  Maybe that top-right corner is dinged just a bit, kind of hard to tell.  Is the back dirty or is that just the scan?  I see a couple horizontal lines to the left of Evel but that may be nothing in reality.

Is that a diagonal crease, that color-flaked the surface in the lower right corner? Or just a bend? Difficult to tell for sure because of the artwork at that point.

Really tiny crease in bottom right corner - I had not noticed it until your question.  

On back - again I didn't see it until your question - looks like an error in printing - crease/indention in paper that isn't matched by any damage to last page or elsewhere.

1. A solid 8.5,,,maybe a 9.

Shouldn't make 9.0 with that crease. Too long and all the color out. The rest of the book would have to be almost flawless to even consider granting a 9.0. And even if it did, how disappointed would you be to win this on ebay as a CGC 9.0, the scan doesn't really show that corner in enough detail to discern that crease, and then the book arrives in 9.0 with that crease, Bronze age to boot.

Thanks very much for the input guys.  I have never had any of my comics graded.  I have two other copies of BP #1 and was thinking of selling a set of the 1-8 since the movie comes out tonight and the prices seem to have spiked.  Anyone want to take a stab at value of issues 1-8 if they are all in at least as good of condition as the #1 pictured above?  Some are much better but none are worse.
