Mdrguy101 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Thoughts on grade appreciated. There is a small square discoloration on the top right back cover. Not sure what it is but not tape. maybe tape was once there a long time ago? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 The square bit looks like tape residue…maybe the tape is still there? The bottom spine corner looks like bug chew. Can you confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mdrguy101 Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 There is no tape there. Looks like there was at one point many years ago and that is leftover discoloration. It is not bug chew. It was me nervously chewing on it awaiting grades fro you guys! LOL. Not sure will check when I get home grendelbo and Galen130 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoboto Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Normally I would say 1.5-2.0 for a book like this but since it’s marvel from the early 60s, leniency would be shown. So I would say 2.5-3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Februus Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) 3.0 as long as everything is firmly attached inside and no big tears - edited after the fact. That is obvious color touch.. don’t know how I didn’t even notice it Edited March 17, 2022 by Februus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primetime Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 is that green/blue color touch? Regardless, 2.5 Looks like a Feb 6 (2/6) arrival date on the upper back cover Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Looks like amateur color touch on spine. I'm going to guess CGC 2.5 (C-3) Primetime and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I am at 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Agree with the consensus... Apparent 2.5 feels about right. --I'm going to guess the top overhang has been trimmed as well. --The light effect on the back cover, especially the lower left corner/bottom edge is kind of weird. Unless it's an odd visual distortion of the photo, I wonder if the covers could have been reglossed. I wouldn't normally think that, but the book does have other resto for sure and looks super glossy considering how worn it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
