Conali Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) 8.0 in my humble opinion. The writing, just the tiniest of corner creases and couple bumps on the top and bottom edge, and minimal corner wear. Nice looking copy though! Love me some Galactus.

Maybe that plays a part but the staple is clean thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James J Johnson Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 4 hours ago, dcmannn said: 8.5 +1 It's a 'tweener, an "8.25", meaning that either grade, 8.0 or 8.5 is correct, if consistency is the goal. This book share the characteristics of about 90% of all late silver age Marvel CGC 8.0s and/or CGC 8.5s you'll come across if drawing comparisons. . csaag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm somewhat amazed how some of them held up so well. Obviously I knew some had value , I mean I bought someoff the wall for $10-$20 so I knew they were 'keys'. But they all went into the long boxes in my closet for ~15-20 years - only air conditioned when the wall unit was plugged in. Eventually I moved them to the basement of the house I bought where they basically sat until 2 years ago although I re-organized them a couple of times. All of them in the bags 30+ years old. Luckily some of them were bought in mylars to begin with. Wonder of modern dry cleaning & pressing too I suppose (the ones I slabbed not the Thors posted here ; they were prob $1-$2 I found in the back issue bins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
