Please grade my JIM 83

[marvelcollector]

- believe it or not there are more people reading this than you and I.

 

Get outta town!

I can't believe that...

I don't know guy's I think your being overly harsh. I think if the tape, tears, chipping, dirttttt, blunted cornerssss, Spine tickssssssssssss, rolled spine, creases and the top edge damage weren’t there this comic would have a chance at a 9.6

 

Oh and BTW how come Ben's gotta where pants when these guy's don't? Is it because orange rocks are more revealing?

What's 1.7? Fugly? Still. Impressive book.

 

For the Low Grade impaired:

 

2.0 = Good

1.8 = Good-

1.5 = Fair/Good

1.0 = Fair

0.5 = Poor

 

I know that. It was a joke. That book is fugly.

 

Believe me, I'm WELL aware of the lower grades. Having decided to try and collect very low grade copies of the pre-Robin Detectives. Anyone know where I can find a 0.5 copy of #31 that presents well?

My point was that I didn't know where the definitive 2.5 statement came from - certainly not the OSGG.

 

I don't have the thing right in front of me, but I'm pretty sure it says Amateur Repairs - None Allowed" until you get below 3.0, then it says "May Be Present". That's the clearest amateur repair I've ever seen.

 

This book is structurally weak, with very large, significant tears

 

Are we looking at the same scan? Large significant tears? Structurally weak? Where does it say that? We have one long tear, extending to to back a bit. No other major defects are visible. Sounds like you're assuming a lot.

Hi Greg,

I agree.

I suppose you could call a 3" tear that extends through the spine and 1" around and beyond the top staple moderate

 

Of course, you might also say it was "tight to the staples and structurally sound" but no one here would believe you unless you were sellin' it

 

No other major defects are visible.[/i]
