bapowell Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi all, please have a look. I’d appreciate people’s thoughts on the effect of the stamp. I obtained this comic from a neighbor who claims it is originally from John Buscema, who gave this guy’s sister a bunch of free comics with this stamp on it. Regardless of its origins, I really have no idea how to factor in its effect on the grade. Thanks! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 7.5/8.0 The biggest concern is what looks like an impacted corner which flaws both sides of the cover. Thanks for letting us see and participate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 7.5 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 8.0. I wouldn't worry about the stamp, unusual though it may be. It will have a negligible impact, if any. Once you have it slabbed, you can't sell it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 7.5 And the story kind of checks out based on the stamp. From what I know, they sometimes would give comics to artists, writers, staffers, etc and were stamped as such so they could not sell them for profit. Maybe John (who to my knowledge had nothing to do with this series at the time) admired it and wanted a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
