boron Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Bought off the spinner rack as a pre-teen in 1968 - must have been too sophisticated for us at the time as it appears to mostly have escaped the ravages of reading/trading. Spine is square at top and transitions to not so square at bottom. I'll let you know the grade in 2022 when it returns. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Looks like "average" wear to me. Hence, put me in the 4.0 VG camp. $0.25 well spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Gets a 4.0 to 4.5 here and hats off to you for keeping this in shape from new. That's quite a history! I only go back to 1973 with a small handful of mine. Edited September 11, 2021 by LowGradeBronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Visiting Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 The dreaded comic book spinner rack. Pulled a few from those in my time. Nice book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boron Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Received surprisingly (to me) good grades on the 60's - 70s stuff (Black Panther #1 9.4, ASM 121 8.0) and slightly disappointing grades on the 80's, early 90s items. Based on the notes, it seems I didn't pay enough attention to the backs on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Solid grade. I would have thought the corner crease put it more in the 5.0-5.5 range personally (along with the other flaws) but that's a solid grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
