Popular Post WalesUK Posted August 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2021 Hi All. I would welcome your thoughts on my low quality FF1, torn rear cover. As well as a grade - please can you let me know if you feel pressing would be recommended for such a poor copy. Cheers All.

Terry JSA Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) 1.0 if 1/3 of the back cover wasn’t missing. 0.5 since 1/3 of the back cover is missing. Edited August 8, 2021 by Terry_JSA Point Five, grendelbo and The Lions Den 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Geez, look at all these great books from @WalesUK. What is it - Christmas-for-graders-day? Nah, it's the anniversary of the birth of the Marvel Universe. 0.5. Too much of that back cover is missing along with the other defects. Thanks very much for sharing this book and the others.

Get Marwood & I Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 On 8/8/2021 at 7:09 PM, WalesUK said: I love that M.M 9d stamp, Josey - about the fourth one I've seen. Len Miller's wife, perhaps? Given that the book exists as a pence copy, distributed by Thorpe & Porter, it's interesting to see a cents copy with a stamp like that. I'm not an expert on the practice, but I don't see that copy being strong enough to take a press and I suspect it wouldn't do much for it even if it could. 0.5 to 1.0 is likely the best it could achieve given what is missing.

CGC also marks a book “incomplete” if a certain amount of the cover is missing. Edited August 8, 2021 by Terry_JSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mattn792 Posted August 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2021 DO NOT press this book. It would be a waste of your money, and it might actually make the book even worse. Its a 0.5 all day. The Lions Den, PetuniaGrimm, BoogieWoogie and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Probably no more than an 0.5, but it's complete and the pages look to be in okay shape, so it's value would probably be closer to a 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninanina Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Boy would I like to read about everything this comic's gone through in the last 70 odd years. There's a story here and I think I have a great idea for the next Marvel movie. Also not sure if it would be a good press candidate. A lot of what's wrong won't be fixed with a press. But, it is complete and I'm also thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of .5 Thanks for posting it. Are you able to let us know where you got it? I'd settle for that.

comicginger1789 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 It’s one of two grades. Either 0.5 or 1.0. As for thoughts, this is exactly the type of copy I imagine finding and being able to get some day if I am ever that fortunate. Lovely worn book especially if inside is complete.

There's a story here I picked up a low-grade UK Avengers 1 about 30 years ago and have always wondered about it's journey, especially getting back to the USA and NM from across the pond. The hands it traveled through. The eyes that read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
