Is this above a CGC 5? 0

[FlyJ]

Someone gifted me this and told me its worth grading which I don't believe as I think this is around a CGC 5.0...Any opinions would be much appreciated. Im also trying to learn how to grade approximately so tips are very welcome.

You'll probably get more eyes over here:

https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/42-hey-buddy-can-you-spare-a-grade/

this is the best place to ask for grades.

BUT I do think this will likely get higher than a CGC 5.0, though I believe that is a possible grade.

BUT the question of IF something is worth grading .... for a common (relatively recent) comic like this look up some ebay sold listings to get a price range and see what grade you personally would need to comfortably cover all costs and get the right profit margins FOR YOU, everyone is different.

Nothing is worth grading if you don't plan on selling. Grading is expensive and takes forever, plus CGC can lose your book or send you someone else's worse copy by mistake, which has happened and continues to happen.

No point in spending more on a gift.

Haha if there's a chance this copy accidentally gets traded for a better copy, i say send it it in!

There's for sure a chance. But based on the junk sent to be graded, it could just as easily be replaced with a worse copy.

Personally, I don't think this should be worth the investment of grading.

Its significantly better than a 5.0, but I agree with other comments above. Not a book and not a condition worth getting graded. 

[theCapraAegagrus]

I think that 5.0 would be criminally ungraded.

[shadroch]

Without any hidden defects, it would get more than a 5.0, but MCS currently is selling a book they grade a 7.5 for $45.  It wouldn't be prudent to spend $60-70 and wait nine months to get a book back that won't recoup your grading fees, but it does seem like thats what the kool kids are all doing these days.

@theCapraAegagrus I don't get some of this hilarious humor you possess, are you saying its well below a 5? or that it is more ? ...essentially I just wanted to know what people thought it was graded at , not necessarily to get graded and sell but just to learn. al feedback (that makes sense) its greatly appreciated.

Few do.

If something were to be under-graded, then that means it is better than suggested. If something were to be over-graded, then that would mean it's worse than suggested.

@theCapraAegagrusnow that we have clarified this humor mystery and I have comprehended the terminology regrading over and under grading ...what grade do you think this is ?

2 pictures isn't a lot to go off of, but a 6.5 or 7.0 is possible.

As was mentioned above, using the PGM sub-forum would be more appropriate.
