knwldg Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 It has been over 20 years since I last collected and started up again recently. I purchased a good amount of Amazing Spider-man 365 with the intention of getting them graded, but they arrived damaged. I was wondering if they are worth pressing and getting graded? It appears since the seller didn't individually bag and board them, some of them seem to have paint transfer too. For the ones with bent edges, i was hoping getting them pressed would remove them. I understand if there is paint break, it won't really help. I was hoping to get at least 9.6 or 9.8 since 9.4 are only selling for $40 and after pressing, grading, shipping, etc., it would be worth less than what i paid. I wasn't planning on selling them right away, maybe just a few to help recoup some cost, but am worried since i looked at other lower grades on ebay and couldn't see any actual damage that got them a 9.4 or below. I have included a link since the files are so large. https://we.tl/t-IDur44Grfh . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Difficult to answer your question about achieving 9.6 or better without seeing the rest of the book(s). Would you be able to provide more pics? At the end of the day, you can press just about anything for any reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 31 picture in there, most just have one corner bent, some have the corner bent and paint transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetPreacher Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Just curious, but why did you buy so many copies of that book anyway? Big fan of foil holograms that don't quite work? I was a sucker for all of the 90's comic gimmicks, any foil or die cut cover was an automatic buy! Although, for some reason that ASM #365 cover just didn't seem to work as well as they probably hoped... I think the issue with this one is that the hologram image is only really visible from specific angles, so from most angles the cover just looks like a wrinkled mirror. lol. A 'great' (90's) gimmick that just didn't look quite as radical as it should have! Edited September 19, 2020 by StreetPreacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
