Slight stain/damage where price label was removed.  Damage is old it didn't happen when the label was lifted.  I think this was prob resold at a second hand bookshop and may have had a couple of labels on and off in the past.  Great cover gloss.  Very clean and quite good whiteness on pages.  I'd presumed it was a cents copy but overall I'm really happy with it.

The stain on the price looks worse on the pics.

In the last post I thought 4.5/5.0. I'm more at 5.0 now but Restored with the previously reported color touch.

Thanks for the update.

Cheers.  No colour touch here this is a different copy.  No resto at all.  What would your unrestored grade be..?  (This is a pence copy whereas the other one was cents.)

Oh, I wondered about the tanning I saw on the last one. 5.0/5.5.

Cheers again.  I had it a bit higher at a 6 or so.  In the hand its got 'niceness' (?) that the photos can't quite pick up - thats bearing in mind the flaws.

I'll say 5.0. Nice one!  (thumbsu

 

Cheers for the input.  Interesting.  After seeing it in the hand I'd put it a bit above average - also I may be a bit biased :)

That's one of the great reasons for this forum. I sometimes have a hard time assessing comicbooks in my collection because of my emotional attachment to them.

Absolutely.  I think though sometimes photos can reverse flatter..?

Well, 4.0 is an 'average' book, so 5.0 is... better than that! It's basically 'scattered small-to-moderate flaws, but the eye appeal is still there'.

I mean, we enjoy sifting through the details on this forum, but at some point, it's better to stop worrying so much about the number and just enjoy the book.  (thumbsu

Absolutely.

It's the reverse of good Mylar which will make just about any book look grades higher.

Well it matters to me with this one as I'll be selling it and I don't want to whack either myself or the potential buyer.
