Planet Comics #51 1 1

[Cushing Fan]

Hi everyone,

I was looking to add a Planet Comics issue to my collection and I just love the cover of issue #51. I spotted this one with bright vibrant colors and in great shape besides the obvious binder holes - what would the holes do to the grade and would CGC give a Qualified grade?

2.5 I'm thinking

Yeah, blue label 2.5: I think you can try for a green label, which looking at this would be a 7.0, or better 

 

Very nicely placed date stamp btw.

Blue label 3.0.  Saw a ff5 with binder holes get that.

Thank you for the opinions everyone. Now I'm wondering if I get the book which way would be better to go - Blue label 2.5 - 3.0 or Green label 7.0? Seems like there are a lot of differing opinions on this topic. If I get the book the only reason I would sell it down the road would be to upgrade the copy. I've seen other copies of Planet Comics #51 in raw 1 - 4.0 and even Blue label 4.0 that don't look as nice as this copy (beat up covers, fading cover inks) which is why I was considering getting this copy.

All grading is a gamble.... Here's a thread that may help you decide. There's mention of a 7.0 blue label. Personally, I'd gamble.

i have seen these before and they get a blue label anywhere from 1.0-2.0 but yours looks way better before the holes so might get a 3.0

3.0 IMO.

[FoggyNelson]

2.5 imo

I'd rather have a blue label, even if it's at a much lower grade. 2.5 - 3.0 is the correct range. I'd lean toward the 3.0 because it's such a nice book, and it's only got two punch holes instead of three. A really good question and a great looking copy...

3.0, same reason as the Fantastic Four. Looks immaculate other than the obvious issue.

I say 3.0. Such a nice comic otherwise.

I would buy comics in this condition from this era all day long if they looked this nice but had holes in them. It's a shame sure, but the liklihood of finding a copy as nice without is unlikely for some of these GA books.
