Jaydee Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Pretty Book, Very few spine ticks Sharp corners, all positive. However under the Banner is that just a crease or a tear an don the back above Frankenstein the word on the bottom left looks like a tear. Probably a 4.5 depending on those tears or color breaks. creaturefan95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I subtracted a full 1.0 for the dirt. The NCB stuff I see - mostly on the BC - accounts for another 1.0 or so. From previous experience I could see it getting back up to 7.0 but no better. That back cover crease will prevent anything higher. But the way it will present and feel in your hands (oh so clean!) might be worth it. I'm only talking aesthetics here and not financial improvement. And think about the book itself: its self-esteem and confidence will grow substantially creaturefan95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like that about the book and its monetary value means nothing to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Adam Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Nice looking 6.5 IMO. Probably not worth getting pressed/graded. With shipping etc you are probably looking at $50+ and a CGC 7.5 of the same issue recently listed on Ebay for $30 didn't even get a bid. If this one's a keeper (cool stamp, btw) I'd recommend a fullback and a nice mylar. creaturefan95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I only have regular bags and boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
