51Bulldog Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 What is everyone's thoughts on a grade? These are my daughter-in-law's dad's who passed away about 15 years ago. She asked me to take a look at a couple boxes of comics that he had to see if there was any value. He had a good run of older ASM including first Rhino. Kingpin and Punisher. Most likely will send in all three for press and grading so she can persevere them. Also does not having a top staple effect the grade? It doesn't appear that it is missing, it looks like it was never there (no holes in any pages). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clean and attractive, textbook VG with off white to white pages that would bring better money than the technical grade confers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuterboroGuy Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I didn't notice the top staple issue. If it was truly missing, I guess CGC would consider it a production defect. Would defer to more knowledgeable folks on the board, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue label note will read: "manufactured with 1 staple". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
