Deutero Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Really on the fence about whether to get this graded or keep it raw! What do you think it might get? Thanks in advance Galen130 1
Februus Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Just for clarification is that another set of staples someone added?

I Am The Answer! Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 The Answer is: 5.0 as is. A C&P will help a lot with that back cover. Deutero 1
Galen130 Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 5.5/6.0 Depends on whether you want it in your PC, or if you plan to sell. Personally, I’d keep it raw after you have it cleaned/pressed. Deutero 1
JRibble Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 C&P that bad boy, it will look great! 5.0 Deutero 1
fastballspecial Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Im at 4.5 those stains or rust spots on the inside hurt. Deutero 1
Deutero Posted June 9, 2022 Author Posted June 9, 2022 @MrRoboto @I Am The Answer! @grendelbo @Galen130 @JohnT @JRibble @fastballspecial @Funnybooks The status of another tier of my current submission has been changed to shipped so got the grade and notes back on this one. Out of all the comics in my current submission I definitely should have had this one C&P, my impatience got the better of me though : ) 4.5 OFF WHITE light creasing to cover light finger bends on cover light spine stress lines to cover light staining to cover moderate staple rust Funnybooks, grendelbo, MrRoboto and 1 other 4

I definitely should have taken your advice and got this one C&P which I reckon would’ve got it up to at least a 5.0. The staple rust would probably stop it getting all the way up to a 6.0. You gave grade estimates for most of my current submission that I posted on here and were generally either spot on or very close. Just waiting for the grades for the 3 books (TOD #10, FF #48 & ASM #4) in the Express tier of my current submission, Hoping they’ll be later today as current status is Quality Control. I posted them all on here and they’re going to be the ones where even half a grade difference is going to have a big impact on FMV! I submitted 25 books in total and the one I’m most pleased with I didn’t actually post on here (thought I had). It was my low grade Silver Surfer #1, I thought it was going to get around a 1.0 but came back as a 2.5 so I’m very happy! Galen130 1

My impatience got the better of me as I was already expecting it to be away with CGC for a long time. They actually turned around all 25 I submitted very quickly. Definitely learnt my lesson though and a couple of my recent posts on here are going to be C&P before submission. I think my FF#6 (posted a couple of weeks ago) will be much improved. Funnybooks 1
