scburdet Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 This is not something I would send to CGC b/c it lacks any kind of real significance. I am interested to see how well people's grading agrees/disagrees with the seller. I got a long run of Thors in the early 2000s & all the bags have/had a little grade sticker. Personally, I think the seller undergraded many of the books by current standards (a rarity). All that said, this is a pretty good cover for a book with few memorable aspects.

fast eddie Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Hmmmmm,,,,,,, a 5.5 methinks,,,,, Has a nice back! scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Looks 5.5 to 6.0 to me. With the book on a flat surface, when the cover is opened, and left unsupported, does it just lay down flat, (worn spine) or does it still have some nice curl to it?

Spoiler Since there are a few replies now, the seller tagged this one as VG (4.0). I know he used the full Overstreet scale b/c I have many books from different runs I bought from him that have all the grades. Some higher grades were even as detailed as to break things down by tenths (82/8.2, 83/8.3, 84/8.4, etc). I even remember the guys ebay handle, which isn't around anymore.

FoggyNelson Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) I would sell this one as fine👍 Edited December 31, 2022 by FoggyNelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I'd go fine on this too now, seeing those extra pics. I read somewhere, a long time ago, that if you use Overstreet you can go through a book and list every tiny defect and essentially grade the nicest book down to zero. Sounds like your seller did something along those lines, which has benefitted you in receiving those books. Look forward to seeing more of your books from that seller. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just kept buying his full runs on ebay when I had the cash. I don't think "full runs" is even a sub-category on ebay anymore, but I would hit these listings hard. Guy's name was Stephen Ritter. IDK if he was a store owner, or just a collector liquidating a collection over a long period of time, either way I made him a few bucks back in the day on comics that were in medium, at best, demand most of the time.
