fiendish Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I wouldn’t bother slabbing this, but this seems to be one of those black-border early 70s Marvels that are tough to find in decent shape. CGC census seems low to me (but I’m still learning.) Anyway, do your worst. And, as always, thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCOComics Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I'm thinking 7.5 fiendish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I think 7.0±0.5. I probably wouldn't slab this unless there was a personal reason. As alluded to above, I wouldn't grade any non-keys unless they were in guaranteed ≥9.4 condition. According to gocollect, FMV for low 9s is still <$100. There are a few CGCs in NM condition on ebay right now (overpriced) like a 9.2 for $150 (with the "Make Offer" option). Fees for grading, shipping & possible pressing don't quite add up to the ask price for the 9.2, but it's getting close enough I would buy, not grade, if I wanted a nice copy of this in my graded collection. I do enjoy this little Beast run. There's some interesting history of how this was part of Marvel's movement away from the CCA's ban on certain types of stories in comics. fiendish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 6.5, maybe 7.0 Thanks for posting. fiendish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
