PGM FF 48 - "The Coming of Galactus!" 3 3

[PJB Comics]

What do you think? Not cleaned, pressed, or professionally graded. Another rescue from my dad's attic, I can't believe how good it still looks. One of my all-time favorite covers. We are still learning about comics so I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Gonna go 5.0  pretty much due to the staple tear.  This would be a 7-8 without the tear.

[James J Johnson]

6.0 or 6.5 Green label   Front cover detached at bottom staple. 

If you opt for blue at about 5.0 or 5.5, you would realize almost identical ebay auction results, either way.

5.5

If the cover is indeed detached at the bottom staple.

Qualified grade would be about a 7.0.

Thanks for sharing another one.

Cover is not detached at the bottom staple btw, it's just a tear but fully attached.

Thanks for the grades guys.

Is a staple tear really enough to bring it from a 7-8 to a 5? That's so sad...

Is it torn or is the cover detached at the bottom staple? If the latter, the best a comicbook could be is around FN+/6.0 were the rest of the copy be near-perfect.

Really nice copy!!  Puts my my 1.8 to shame.  

[rockyandroll]

Is that considered a spine split? So for a 5.0 up to 1/2" is OK?

[candygramformongo]

I'm going 6.5  even with that lower staple fun.  Beaut copy!

[Galen130]

6.0

[Funnybooks]

first instinct was 5.5 but the book is just too nice to go that low, so:

6.0

5.5
