Back cover pics for grade assessment, please.

This was bumped to this forum (PGM) by a mod, and that’s fine, but I wasn’t really looking for that right now.  

Has anyone noticed a significant decrease due to a staple submitted in this condition?  I’ll try and get more pics uploaded later, but I’d appreciate any experience you could share.  Thanks!

Have you considered taking this to a jeweler?

Here are a few more.

Staple looks production, however if not, I don’t see it changing the grade.  7.0 

[grendelbo]

6.5 therabouts.

C&P for 7.0/7.5.

Thanks for posting.

I also think this will end up 6.5/7.0. Whether it's production (which I think it is) or not, I don't think the bent staple is going to be a problem, so long as the cover and CF are secure at that staple.

As for whether it's "worth" it to submit this comic for grading, I have no idea how much money you're into this book for, but even a 6.5 or 7.0 ASM50 is a solid four-digit book. I would slab this were it my copy, but your collecting goals may vary.

If it seems to be that low, it really doesn’t need to be slabbed.  In that condition it’s still worth flipping through it would seem.  Everyone scrambles for the high grades, so slabbing what is essentially a reader doesn’t make sense.

6.5 as is

7.0 after C&P

7.0-ish
