Skunkboy Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hi all, Picked up a stack of Archie related comics, and I believe this issue was the nicest of the bunch. Please not the little stain above Archie's head on the cover - not sure if it could be removed. Is something like this worth subbing? There are currently no graded copies of 177 in the census, so I'm assuming there isn't massive demand. Thanks for looking! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Non-expert opinion, but you have a better chance at stain removal on a white spot. Of course, this could also lose gloss. It's not hopeless though. I see some indentions and light color breaking creasing around the 'e' in 'Archie'. A couple of other spots where color is broken. I would be a no on grading. Based on the data I can find, I think at best you could sell the graded copy for the amount it would cost to get it graded. For a comic that's not in demand, it would need to be pristine to pull the trigger on grading. Skunkboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sharpest book in the lot, so I was hoping it was a little higher grade as to justify grading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
