scburdet Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) I've been sitting on this one since the show announcement came out. It wasn't even in my "box to grade" because I never bought it with any intent other than wanting a reasonably collectible copy of the first Wonder Man. Nostalgia is a powerful drug and I read the out of a copy of Avengers 158 as a kid and was always interested in the (green costume) version of Simon Williams. Now Disney is making me consider sending to CGC. Edited July 21 by scburdet Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 I would love either. I'm a little wary that the rough edges will set this back, but who knows with an almost 60 year old book. I've seen some of the returns today (and had some myself) where people got a better grade than anyone predicted. Jcunha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutero Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 5.0 for me. It looks like a very nice copy and I wouldn’t be surprised if it got higher than my estimate. However the big tick by the top staple, wear to the spine, wear to top edge of front cover and tearing around the bottom staple internally are the main reasons for my grade. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 5.0/5.5 C&P for maybe a 6.0 if those top edges can be improved. Thanks for posting. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 People were a bit all over the map on this one. I think it comes out closer to the high end of the predictions though. I like the note "small tear breaks color". Doesn't a tear by definition break color? Love this book. Bought it graded at 4.5, so no complaints. Waiting for both UK reprints (large format) of this one to come back too for the Wonder Man trifecta. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
