Our Army at War #10 2 2

[alecholland]

I bought this at my LCS as a 2.0 (G), but I think it's a bit it's a bit higher. Page quality is Cream to slightly Tan. Main defects are in the scans. Top staple looks like it's still holding and centerfold is fine. Printers crease is visible on front of book around the middle. Spine roll. I didn't get a close up scan of the top right corner front cover but I realized it is missing a sliver of the corner. Interested to see what you guys think. I think the owner of my LCS is a very tight grader, especially at lower grades.

There is a graded 3.5 on Ebay right now and I think my copy is at least as nice or close, other than page quality.

Thanks for any replies!

Bottom left corner missing a small piece.

Top left corner small piece out.

Top staple is still attached, but looks like it could come loose.

Not a 2.0. 3.0/3.5

Thanks! I was thinking around 3.0. Just wanted opinions of board members to confirm.

Agreed. I lean to 3.5 but 3.0 wouldn't surprise especially if paper creamy/lightly tanned.

What's going on with the loss of ink on the back cover?  Is that from moisture or wear?  Kind of hard to tell.

Def a 3.0 with a GA grade bump

I don't see any evidence of moisture. The 3.5 copy on Ebay has a similar issue, although it looks like it may have some moisture issues. I don't see anything that looks like moisture on my copy. Maybe just wear?

They don't get GA books very often, but when they do they also price them at Overstreet price guide prices unless it's something they recognize which is usually only superhero stuff. I bought Black Knight 1 (Atlas) for $100 a few years ago. I planned to keep it, but prices went nuts. I ended up selling it on Ebay for $1700. My LCS graded it 2.5, I graded it 3.0 when I sold it and the buyer sent it in to CGC and it came a 3.5. It was a really nice low grade copy. Here's my scan of the front.

Kind of wish I would have kept it now.
