PGM ASM 300 2 2

[Croatbag]

Hello,

First time poster here be gentle.  As like many people in the last year I've rediscovered my comics and got the fever again.  Went through my old collection as a kid and found some that I want to get graded so I'm trying to work on my grading.  

Here is my ASM 300 for your review.  The top left FC has what I think is a bindery tear, but it sort of wraps around into the front a little bit so not sure if that will be ignored as a bindery tear or get docked against me.  Other than that really all I see is some spine ticks, more evident on the back because of the black.  The scan actually makes the spine ticks look much worse than I feel they do in person.  Let me know your thoughts, and if I needed to add more images or uploaded things the wrong way please let me know to correct it.

Thanks in advance for your time.

8.0 / 8.5 

The tear will negatively impact the grade and I feel like there are enough spine ticks to keep it just short of being NM.  

But hey, that also tells me you treated it like a comic book as a kid. Reading and enjoying it. 

Nice looking book and welcome to the boards.

Yeah I’m at an 8 or 8.5

my favourite ever book.

Yeah, I'm hoping that top parts just considered a bindery issue, wishful thinking maybe.

7.5

I think there may be too much going on with the spine and with that corner tear to hit 8.5

I'll go 7.5 with a punchers chance at 8.0
