PGM Adventure Comics #80 (Rockford Pedigree) 0

[batmanfan13]

Hey thanks for taking a look at my posting either by interest or by accident haha.

 

My father and I have been buying comics for years now and purchased this great copy not to long ago with the focus of sending it to CCS as its the only way to keep the provenance (Sorry Susan!!). We feel it represent the ideal imperfections from the graders note that can possibly be mitigated. I realize that most books here are raw however I though the imperfections where unique and would be interesting to see what some seasoned collectors might think. We will be putting updated scans for this book once we have it back (CCS & CGC) as we have elected the walk through service. The graders notes are below feel free to reach out with any questions you might have.

 

Regards,

Jason

I think the crease on the top left BC will press out nicely.  No sure what, if any, grade bump might be achieved.

Thanks for taking a look its going to be an interesting week for sure. Who knows what the comic gods will decide haha.

I agree the pressing will help, but might not raise the grade.

Either way, any Golden Age 8.5 with off-white pages is a treasure.

Let us know how it comes out.

Good luck on the re-sub of an old label......

will be interesting to find out if it bumps up or not

keep us posted ... very interesting calculated gamble......

Great Kirby cover BTW ...(back cover too)

either way, after the CPR it will be in the new holder and look fabulous and hopefully get a 9.0

I also hope he gets a bump to 9.0, but IMO, the shadow will keep it out of any grade with the coordinating letters NM (as in VF/NM or better) even with the lite creasing and bends remedied. Might be a shot (with the shadow) because it's a GA book, the CGC a little more lenient with shadows on GA than on SA..

Love to know what it comes back as.  That's a heck of a book.
