Here's another one I need help on.

Front cover looks nice, I think a press would make it nicer.  But check out the big ol' ink stamp on the back cover!  Looks like it says "PAID (can't read next word or ?).

There's another ink mark also on back cover about 3" below top left corner, looks like same type of ink. I'm assuming it happened at the same time as "PAID" stamp.

None of the ink bleeds through the back cover or affects interior pages.

My price point on this is 5.0 or higher for sending off for grading.

Sorry about some blurry photos, but I figured everyone would get the gist of this post. 

Thanks in advance for your input and advice!

interesting grading challenge.  The front cover is beautiful, aside from the wear and small color breaks at the top edge of the front cover.  few small color breaking spine tics.  back cover, aside from the stamps, is pristine and clean.  structurally that book is a F 6.0.

As for those stamps, while slightly unsightly they served a purpose in the retail process at the time, and my guess is that they will be treated similarly to excessive distributor ink, and maybe get a half grade downgrade.

CGC grade 5.5

I have little issue with the back cover stamping, that could be on a 9.4 book that is in beautiful condition otherwise. Back cover issues or blemishes take a far back seat to front cover in my opinion.

    In any case I agree with 5.5 or 6.0 grade from what I see overall. The rear cover stamps definitely fall within the scope of this grading range.

Yes sir it a 5.5 all day ??‼️

The Vanisher is a favorite villain of mine‼️‼️??

He's an underrated character. I wonder if he's considered the first teleporter to appear in Marvel comics.
