flashlites Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 A well loved copy and an awesome book to have! (Most of my Flash collection is in this condition or worse 😀 but I'm glad to have every one of them!) from What I see here I would grade it at 3.5. With a cleaning and press it could go higher.

I agree with flashlites, 3.5 or so seems about right. It's not a book that would make sense to pay for pressing and cleaning IMO, as there are chips and color loss. A nice solid low-grader.

I have no intentions of selling it . do you think its even worth slabbing it? I'm at 3.5 as well. IMO, no, I wouldn't have it slabbed. I'd get a nice fullback and mylar, put them in a top loader, and be done with it. That way you could always take it out and flip through it when you were feeling nostalgic. There is no financial upside to having this book slabbed, so if you're just wanting to preserve it, the mylar/fullback/loader combo will keep it safe and sound at a much smaller cost and wait.

If you really want a slabbed copy, consider just buying a different one that's already slabbed rather than sinking more money into this copy.
