Mars76 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I'm not too sure when it comes to tears. I'm gonna say 8.5. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 An otherwise super sharp and crisp copy, so 8.5 seems likely. Don't you just love the 'Rogues Gallery' on the Make Money/Get Prizes ads? I look at them and wonder what they're doing now. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Other than very minor corner/edge wear all I see is the color rub/tear on the bottom edge. Without the lower edge defects this book appears to be in the NM-9.2 to NM 9.4 range, with the lower edge defects...??? I have no idea how much of a hit the book would take from CGC, VF/NM 9.0, VF 8.0??? scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that, I wouldn't have had as many comics & video games. No idea what kids do these days outside of school/sport/scout fundraising stuff. Especially given the cover prices of current comics.

You're assuming kids even want to buy comics these days..... I can't even get my daughter to empty the dishwasher for pocket money. Mow the grass? Might as well ask her to climb Everest. scburdet and Mars76 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
