Grade my Amazing Spidey #9 PLEASE!!!

[KingOfRulers]

I know the scans are small, but that's the best I can do with Photobucket. I'm planning on selling this book at the store priced as 4.0. Most customoers would call this a 4.5 most likely. I'd say a 3.5 personally. What do you think?

 

Can someone also tell me the 2005 OS VG price for this book, please? Thanks!

$212 in VG. I think 4.0 is a fair grade on this book.

 

I will of course take it for the price on the back $2.00

I think 4.0 is too high. Looks to be too much stuff going on on the back cover. I duuno though, lower grade stuff isnt my area so

[trevorlsmith]

Yeah, I agree that 4.0 seems a little generous. There is just such an accumulation of severe defects (tears, chipping, cover length color breaking creases, the back cover looks like it took a bath, and what looks like a tape tear around the spine). I have a tough time in the lower grades though so I could be wrong.

 

The back cover looks like a good pressing candidate!!!

 

Considering all the defects, it still looks pretty solid.

[trevorlsmith]

Oh, and I just noticed that the writing on the BC is a price reduction. That is pretty funny.

I think it was reduced from $250 to $200?

[KingOfRulers]

Thanks for all the input guys! Also a special thanks goes out to Pirate for the OS price!!!

2.0

[marvelcollector]

With that chunk missing out of the spine and the long diagonal crease, I don't

think I could go above 3.0...

those 2 defects, plus the booklength color-breaking subscription-type crease and the really beat back cover would suggest that this is more like a 2.5 - 3.0 IMO.......neverteheless, good luck........

The grade is handwritten at the top of the BC:

 

2.0

So it use to be a 2.5 awhile ago?

So I guess since they go two decimal places over they must use the super system. Just think being able to have a book grade 9.99. How about a 0.01? Would that just be some paper that at one time was in the same building as the one where the comics were manufactured? Hmmmm...

Luckily only hard core collectors like ourselves care about the entire books. Most customers we get will buy a book for the front cover essentially.

It comes and goes . Depending on the subject I suppose. To be honest I try and avoid them but they seem to follow me whereever I go. ...I managed to get a thread locked on CPG yesterday.
