2.5-3.0 imo. This around the cutoff area for golden/silver age. I think it’s silver age so I’ll stick with my guess.

I'm at 3.5±0.5. I've been pretty consistently coming in too low on the GA books in the contest, so I am adjusting accordingly. I was going to say 4.0, but the piece out of the cover on the spine stops me. Although the Green Lantern book in the contest has a much larger piece missing. What I'm saying is my grade is not reliable at all, so you're paying too much for my opinion.

I think of this as a Golden Age book. Is there even a definitive cutoff date? I see where sources say 1955 or 1956. I do believe this book is slightly larger than Silver Age books which could be a characteristic of Golden Age books?

I'm really hoping for a 4.0. I've seen comics that display much worse and with more defects getting that a high a number, but whom am I to say. As the previous poster indicated the era it falls into might be a consideration? 

As far as your opinion goes, it is appreciated. The price I paid for it is very fair and reasonable as well!

I think it could happen. 3.5/4.0.

Well, I’m no expert, so we’ll see how it goes.  Although, if CGC wanted to hire me for my adequate skills, they’d be sniffing the wrong dog’s butt.

3.5 - maybe.  More likely 3.0.  Put it in a shiny binder and pray for the best.  ;)

[Hschwartz]

Looks 3.5 to me.

Came back at 3.5. Hoped for a 4.0, but I'm happy. - I will give you credit since you were first in with a 3.5. Seems like that was the consensus. Maybe CGC needs to pay you for your opinion since you were spot on! Thanks to all who replied! It is much appreciated!
