Delzy Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Please be gentle on me for being a noob to this. I've just looked into my collection for the first time in about 25 years and am trying to decide if it's worth the time and effort to send it in. Thanks in advance.

Christopher Pelletier Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Wow this is a gorgeous copy. I would say this is absolutely worth getting graded. No staining or discoloration that I can see. Colors are really nice. Some ticks front and back. Bottom right front corner is obviously the worst exterior flaw. I’d love to see a couple interior photos, especially the center fold. Assuming the cover is tight and there’s no evidence of rusting and the book is complete, this falls in the high end of VF for me (8.5+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delzy Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 OK, Thanks for the motivation. Here are some more photos of the flaws that were hard to see on the initial scans: I think the score is dropping a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygramformongo Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Such a great-looking book! Congrats! With the additional pics, I'd say 7.0/7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 8.0. Go for it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'm stunned by your opening statement. Imagine you go to your comics, unseen 25 years, and this is what you find. Having seen the extra pictures I'm at 7.0 to 7.5 so now what else are you going to be making us salivate with? Can't wait to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to find out. I think it's more like 30 years, but last month was the first time I made a list. I have about 450 books total, but these are probably the highlights: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Some very nice books on your list! Look forward to seeing some more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 7.0/7.5 mainly due to the back cover tear and color-breaking creasing on the LRC of the front cover. It's a very nice copy. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin4 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This is a very nice copy. Unfortunately the tear on the back cover will hurt the grade.For me submitting certain books is a personal preference. If you want to sell or just want it slabbed then of course , thats the way to go. I would be keeping this in a mylar , but thats just me. Either way,I would definitely have this cleaned and pressed. My estimate would be a 7.5 to 8.0. Love the book and your list as well- Good Luck and keep us posted- Would love to see how you make out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Pelletier Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Oh man that tear is a killer. Yeah I’m on board with 7.0/7.5. Still a stunner of a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
