Asmodean Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I bought this without seeing the damage on the back. It's for my personal collection, not a flip and I don't think I'd slab it, also it was less then $50. But it's still a disappointment as I don't think I would have picked it up if I knew about the missing piece. What would you grade it and do you think I over payed?

CHASEnBLUE Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 1.5 to 1.8 with that piece missing imo Asmodean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayowolf Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I know the Overstreet Guide to Grading says for a 2.0 that "The largest piece allowed missing is usually a 1/2 " triangle or a 1/4" square" (and that piece is larger). BUT it also has caveat "NOTE: Certain defects are allowed if other defects are not present" . Since for this comic the FC is in pretty good shape ("other defects not present"). I'll give it a 2.0!

Galen130 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 4.0. If it's for your personal collection, does it matter if you overpaid? That would be my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodean Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Only in the sense that I would not have purchased the book at all if I had been a bit more diligent. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Despite the piece out of the BC, the book still presents well and I believe it would still grade in the vg +/- range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
