scburdet Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 At one point I had this one out thinking about a Gerry Conway signature/grading despite there being some obvious creases, ticks and so forth. The yellow does a decent job hiding a lot, and it's a significant book. Then I noticed whatever that is near SM's inner thigh, and decided not to. No idea what that could be? I guess it must be some kind of spill, it just doesn't look like other similar defects I've encountered. Trying to figure out what the floor is for this one, plus people here seem to like Spider-Man books Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 6.0/6.5 Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engr62 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I would say 6.0. If that spot near SM's thigh can't be removed, it might drop to 5.0 to 5.5. CGC seems to really hit stains hard on post-silver books. It's a really nice looking book and one of my grails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more interested in having the original version of the Marvel Tales book I had growing up than the death of Gwen Stacy key. I remember thinking it was an expensive then, but now it would seem like a bargain (if I could remember what I paid). The spot has a texture to it, but it has resisted my patented "rub it lightly with a fingernail" technique, which has been surprisingly effective at removing "stuff" on books that are decades old.

CJ Design Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yes, The Marvel Tales is much better to have, send that original trash book to me, 😉 I see a 6.0 or slightly better...if the spot is texture it may well come off. A great book to have signed IMHO. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
