runningman Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Well, I just got this image from CGC and I was expecting a 7.5 (but secretly hoping for an 8.0). This is my sentimental fav. as I bought this as a kid, my first silver age spidey. I know it's not the usual high grade stuff I often see posted here. see attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcolt Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Lower grade but cover is tight and the stamp is still inside. Only problem is some creases in the cover and the 8-8 written on the U. Happy just to add it to my collection, I always regreted selling the one I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblin Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Lower grade but cover is tight and the stamp is still inside. Only problem is some creases in the cover and the 8-8 written on the U. Happy just to add it to my collection, I always regreted selling the one I had. Awesome. Thanks for showing that, makes me feel slightly better about my copy. Not saying yours is [embarrassing lack of self control], but makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who doesn't have a high grade copy.

kidcolt Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Haha at least I have a copy I suppose, it's hard to afford a high grade copy. I once had a copy in my collection but I sold it (it was also a lower grade) I always regreted it, this one will stay in my PC forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrunkenhead Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Here it is, my last big purchase of '05, and for awhile after that. It's back to the bargain bin for me for the next few months. Sorry for the weird scan with the mattress background or whatever that is. This is the seller's original scan, and my scanner's kaput. Pretty psyched about this one, as it's my first purchase of major Marvel key since I bought a Silver Surfer #1 about 13 years ago. Book looks really nice for the grade. There is a tear at the 12-cent mark that probably knocks the grade down a notch or two. Still very nice eye appeal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Even though the scan is blurry, that looks like a really nice 3.5. What damage does it have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrunkenhead Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Even though the scan is blurry, that looks like a really nice 3.5. What damage does it have? In addition to the tear near the price, there is about 1/2-inch tear on the back cover (at the top, close to the middle of the book). Not very noticeable, though. I imagine both those tears knocked the book down considearably grade-wise, yet the eye appeal is not really sacrificed as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Looks like that copy turned out pretty well! Is that a crease through the "TH" on the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timulty Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yeah, one of those production related ones. So, you still have a chance at a decent Swamp Thing. This one is more VF+ than VF/NM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp copy then. What did the seller have it at? 9.0? That's what I would give it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
