Psiknight Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Back cover? Simply from the front, I'd say an 8.0 is possible. Definitely worth the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicSupply Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I already taped the mylar up. But, it was clean, no creasing or dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstryinspc-migration Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 7.5/8.0 nice copy how much may I ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I would say . . . YES! , but don't get your hopes up too high. I'd give it a 6.5 due to the book-length readers' crease due to the staple placement to the front cover, and quite possibly a trimmed top edge (hey it's a GA book - restoration was rampant) I also wouldn't discount the possibility of color touch . . . Not to rain on your parade Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiize book (wish I had one!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComicSupply Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Nikos, you think 5.5? It looks a lot nicer than the Batman #49 you pulled a 5.5 on don't you think? Then again, Golden age is a tough one to peg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'd give it a FN+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Looks similar to the one I sent in. I think its a strong 5.5 with a shot at 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nik Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Nope, still need 500 to fit SA books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 6.5 - (Although anything from 6.0 to 7.0 is just as likely) Barring problems on the BC or not visible in scan - I don't see have it could be graded as low as a 5.5 - but stranger things have happened.

Comicdey Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Sorry, I agree with NIKOS 5.5. It may show better, but structurally, Fine at best. I have a copy that's more on the order of a 4.0-4.5 to compare it to that I picked up for $50 from my LCS years ago. Did you get as good a deal as I did?

Psiknight Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Wow, I'm surprised to see grades as low as 5.5! It seems better than that but it's tough to tell...I still think it's in the 7.0+ range from the front cover. Outside of the reader's crease and some general corner wear, I don't see defects bringing it down to the FN- range. Also, the top cover appears trimmed but I've seen a lot of GA Batman books with similar off-cut tops...so, I'd be willing to bet it's not trimmed.

Mephisto Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I really don't think that the top cover was trimmed. I have seen many Batman covers that were miscut like that. I think I have seen more Batman 23's with a top edge that looked like that than ones that are well even and don't have the DC logo cut off, so it's a common manufacturing issue with the older Batman issues. As for the grade that readers crease is hard to judge how harsh CGC will be. I'd probably go with around a 6.0 but I would still submit if you plan on selling.
