Please Grade My ASM #'s 2,3,4,5 and 6

[Johnny G]

Hello all,

 

It's been a while since I've posted any books for review. Now that there is a seperate thread for it I will post a few books.

 

I just received some books in the mail and would like some impartial opinions on them. If you choose to help, thank you , if not, we don't need to hear useless comments!

 

What you need to know:

 

ASM #2 - Pages are OW, on the top of the right centrefold page there is the writing "Property of M.Minna 1963", the spine has a slight roll to it, and as you can tell by the scan it is miswrapped?!?!

 

ASM #3 - Pages are cream/OW, it would appear that there was a date penciled in beside the issue number which looks to be erased , no other inks or missing pages.

 

ASM #4 - There is a large rip on back cover The Pages are OW, there is some chipping, no inks and all pages are intact.

 

ASM #5 - Nice glossy copy! There is a tear on the lower front cover (still attached) pages are OW

 

ASM #6 - Cream pages, various stress, ceases and small tears, a READ copy!

 

Here's the scans...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once again, thanks to those who've shown interest!

Not to hijack your thread, but you brought up an interesting point with your ASM 3. How does erasure of a date mark or pencil price effect the grade? I know dry erasure isn't restoration, so is it just considered damage? Personally I would rather have the pencil marks on the book, rather than just the indentations left from the pressure.

No problem at all...

 

I agree, I would prefer to have the pencl markings, rather the remains of them! I too would like to know how this affects the grade

 

Great question

Well, it transforms a "handwritten date marking on cover" to a "stain". However, I don't think it will impact the grade of this book . . .

I would bet that the #5 gets no less than a f. That chip is still there and the rest f the book is very solid.

Johnny,

 

All VN (very nice) - you should send all of these into CGC using the standard tier. You'll get them back in less than a month and greatly enhance their marketability.

Thanks Diva

 

I was thinking of doing just that. I do believe that CGC is the only way to go with these ones. You suggest standard? It only takes a month now? Right on...

 

Thanks for the input and keep it coming!

 

Check out the DC SA's I put up... nice colors!

All 4.0, except the #5 - a 5.5

[Aces]

Spider-man 2 ~ 4.0 looks like a spine roll pressed out...

 

Spider-man 3 ~ 4.5 I'd be real worried about 2 and 3 since the pages are stinking out so much.

 

Spider-man 4 ~ 2.5/3.0 Huge rip ruins a VGF book...

 

Spider-man 5 ~ 6.0

 

Spider-man 6 ~ 2.5/3.0 For sale?
