Any chance this DD 1 and Avengers 1 are 1.0 not .5? 3 3

[Hey Kids, Comics!]

As the title says.

Both are complete

Neat books, but .5 seems the right grade to me.

The gut says .5, but I have to say, I had an FF #5 in practically identical condition to the DD1 shown here, cover split and detached, plenty of wear around the edges of the covers. I sold it, the buyer sent it off, it came back 1.0. And the cover wasn't even as nice as the DD 1! So, I'd say I'd personally call it a .5, but 1.0 could still be possible for the DD1, at least once upon a time. As for the Avengers 1, man, that's tough, but it seems like a .5 to me for sure. Just too much material missing.

Name checks out.

There are many many examples on eBay of 1.0 grades with covers completely split and detached. Also, the Avengers would need to have at least a third of the cover missing to be a 0.5. I believe both of these examples are 1.0.

Cgc 1.0 likely for both copies 

I believe the cumulative defects are just short of a .5 grade 

good luck

even at 0.5 it worth putting these in a CGC slab to keep them intact and present better

0.5 for me but no way I would slab these, nice readably key books what you are not scared to damage, mylar all day, take out and read once in a while

They both look like a .5 to me.
