Jesse-Lee Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Posted in another thread that I found 2 copies of ASM 361 and one ASM 362 in a $2 loose comic bin at an antique show this weekend - completely loose, no bags or boards. Unfortunately they are second printings, but it seems like they're still in demand (at least 361). I asked in my 361 post about CGC grading since I'm new to this - I assume there's no reason to have something like this CGC graded in this condition, given it's a second print, correct? I put a pic to start of all 3 side-by-side as a reference. This is the 362 copy obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 So... Back cover, color rub, or MFG defect? Jesse-Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell - there seems to be a stripe pattern to it that seems almost too uniform to be rub, but on the other hand it was sitting loose in a bin with a bunch of other comics, so who knows how long it's been toted from place to place, shifting around... Either way I'm guessing something like that knocks the grade down quite a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Just now, Jesse-Lee said: I can't tell - there seems to be a stripe pattern to it that seems almost too uniform to be rub, but on the other hand it was sitting loose in a bin with a bunch of other comics, so who knows how long it's been toted from place to place, shifting around... Either way I'm guessing something like that knocks the grade down quite a bit? If it was a MFG defect, then it would just keep it from the 9.9-10 range. I don't think that's the case, though. I think, as you mentioned it being a loosey, that it's color rub/transfer from other comics. Assuming that to be true, I would put this in the 8.5 range.

Galen130 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 A cleaning/pressing might help here, but it's hard to tell without the book in hand. I noticed the comic is a bit wavy, so pressing will help that. 8.5...give or take. IMO. Jesse-Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
