Empir3 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hey do you guys think this is worth slabbing ? What do you think it would get ? Only has the one staple at the top . Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 5.5 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Did it once have 2 staples? And it was removed? Or was it manufactured with only 1 staple. 5.0 seems right depending on that staple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure a press improves the grade beyond a doubt other than to flatten that spine. Unfortunately, the other defects will not improve. I think its worth spending $10-$20 to press for a chance to improve the odds you get a 5.5 or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William-James88 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) I don't think it's worth slabbing, it's worth as much slabbed as unslabbed. You can spend your money on other comics instead. And 5.0 sounds ok. Edited September 4, 2020 by William-James88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured the slab would help preserve it A mylar and full back will preserve it just as much, if not more. The only reason to slab it is if you like seeing your comics in slabs (which may be the case and is as legitimate a reason as any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassman10 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 5.0-5.5 A press will not help with the color breaks or the checks on the spine and they are the biggest issue with the Comic. I don't find the book to have a high enough value to justify more than a good backboard and bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
