Deutero Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I’m a massive Silver Surfer fan and this has been at the top of my want list for a long time! I can’t believe I’ve actually got it, I’m literally bouncing off the walls with excitement at the moment It’s fairly worn and the cover is faded but I’ll definitely be sending it in, what grade do you guys reckon it might get? Thanks in advance. Galen130 and Shazbot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoboto Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 For a normal comic I would give it a 3.5 grade with the chipping, color distortion on the cover, and the corner creases on the front cover. However, this book is from the 60s marvel chipping era which actually did graded with leniency (most of the time). With that in mind, I would 4.5-5.0, solid book! Congrats!

mysterymachine Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'm leaning towards 5.0 but with current grading, it might grade 4.5 Februus and Deutero 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Out of interest what’s your holy grail? I’m going to be sending in about 15 comics in the next couple weeks and I’ve posted a few of them on this sub. When they eventually come back to me I’ll definitely update my posts and let people know how the did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I don't see anyone mentioning it, but can anyone educate me on what version of FF48 this is? I see "10d" where it usually says 12¢. I searched really quickly, but I can't find any examples, and it certainly looks like it's as it was printed that way Deutero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have guess issue 48 would be one of them. It's not like anyone cares about this book or anything. grendelbo and Deutero 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a UK based collector and I also use comicspriceguide.com. There are loads of comics that they don’t show as having UK price variants. Just yesterday I was adding some Bronze Age Avengers Issues with Silver Surfer appearances. My issues are a mix of UK and US prices, but they don’t show any UK price variants. I just make a note on the individual comic edit sayings it’s a UK price. I’ve also posted some other SA UK price variants on this forum like ASM #4 and FF #6. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
