Please grade my Marvel Special Edition 15 3 3

[The Comics Trip]

Picked this up and trying to determine if I should sell raw or slab (and press). Thoughts on grade? Thanks in advance!

Slight rounding/blunting of corners with slight creasing/dimples, Slight edge wear, Slight accumulation of stress lines w/color break, 1"-2" crease upper right corner w/color break.

IMO, the crease is a killer, it affects the aesthetic appeal of the book, other than the crease the book presents nicely.

IMO, the crease prevents this book from being a FN/VF 7.0 - VF- 7.5, but does not display the defects allowed in a FN 6.0, so...

FN+ 6.5.

5.5/6.0

Appears to have tide lines on the back cover. If there's no water damage then it'll grade a little higher.

Thanks for posting.

assuming C&P is clean and press, I am definitely considering that option.
