Help me grade this spiderman #13

[Titan777]

spotless,full gloss.....sharp corners..........off white pages.........no roll ...........no chipping in sight, 6 small cracks breaking color on the black part of the spine each one 2-3centimeters long and not reaching out onto the cover

 

let me know what you think!

nice book, to bad the stress marks are in the black, VF/NM 9.0, bust out the black marker and colour touch it

[Titan777]

what do you think It'll fetch? CGC'ed of course

[supapimp]

hard to say, i don't keep data like some of the forum members here. maybe they'll see your post and bust out some past sales info for you. but i'll say around $800-1K. one sold on heritage back in october 2002 for $1381 currently there's one up on comiclink for $1475

[Titan777]

ok then not a bad investment on my part

[Bonds25]

Looks like a beauty - I'd go with either an 8.5 or 9.0 due to the spine creasing.

[COI]

Nice book.

 

A slabbed 9.0 should bring in between $800-$1000.

[murph0]

If they give that a 9.0 then I have a lot of books CGC needs to seriously regrade. That's a lot of spine stress for "VF/NM". I'd call it VF-

Maybe Ill send it to cgg they'll be so happy to get an old book maybe they'll give it a 9.6

[COI]

I'm not saying it'a a 9.0, just commenting on what a 9.0 would bring in. I would say 8.5.

 

Murph, I don't know if you've totally lucked out with the slabs you've bought, but CGC does not grade nearly as strict as you consistently do on these threads. If they did, I would guess NM 9.4's wouldn't even exist on the census.

he's been hitting the pipe again

[COI]

Look at Titan's, and look at this:

 

 

From what you can see on both, which one would you say is better?

[Titan777]

Ok heres a better shot, the white you see running down the left on the spine is reflection.

 

 

 

1st Mysterio

[supapimp]

it's a solid VF/NM 9.0 for sure, might even get a NM- 9.2 if submitted through heritage or reynold jay. how much did you pay for it and where did you get it?

[murph0]

That one has less obvious spine stress but then has that slight overflash along the top that's slightly marked. Personally, I could see that one getting an 8.0-8.5

If these are seriously 8.5-9.0's I am TOTALLY getting screwed on my slabs. I have 9.0's that would blow those out of the water.

THIS is what I'd call a 9.0, the circle mark in the price box is on the slab. Notice the slight bump at the BLC, and a slight rounding of the TRC is all to be accounted for damage wise.

ebay $400

[murph0]

Well it looks better up close, I'd actually call it a VF+ if that's just reflection.

But those color breaking spine marks are not something I'd call VF/NM

brian,

 

that ASM 35 is a 9.0 would grade higher if the lower left corner was blunted like that. araich, watch the "blunted" jokes. but titan's book looks better, the book is supaglossy.

 

late,

[supapimp]

who was the seller?

[murph0]

You're nuts maybe it is you that should lay off the pipe :\

I'd far rather have a flawless book with the only flaw being a miniscule spine corner bump then 3 noticable color breaking spine stress marks at least in a 9.0
