Randall Ries Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Going just by the cover, it's a 9.2 maybe a 9.4. Pretty unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know, there's NO back cover. Why is there only one photo? MPH1964, Deadpoolica, Funnybooks and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the back cover is nice as the front, it is about a 9.4. Unusual for that book. In that event, I would start thinking about it being restored. If it were perfect with no resto, that book would sell for around $7k as is at current market value. It isn't a book I would consider buying without it being graded first.

But I agree- I've been burned by resto on another copy of it, so I know that problem all too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 First, I never assume with half the info. Front cover, definitely 9.2-9.4 appearance. But I would like to see the centrefold, pages (in the same pic) and of course back. Until then, I would not assign a grade or even a price to it and anything is a gamble. Odds are you have at least a VF and up copy here but the chance exists that there is a stain on the back and a detached centrefold....you wanna risk buying/bidding/offering on one pic, that is your call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardnobl3 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I've got a fantastic looking copy as well with a beautifully presentable front cover. When I posted pictures for grading on here I realized 2 back pages are missing. Boom...automatic 0.5. I'm lucky I got scammed when I was young and naive as I bought the book almost 20 years ago off ebay and probably only paid what it is actually somewhat worth now even as a 0.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH1964 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 And may or may not have a back cover!!! Reality doesn’t resolve until I have observed it, so I can neither confirm nor refute the existence of said cover. (See Schrödinger’s Cat - which may or may not be be dead.)
