3 SA DC's - what do you think??

[burntboy]

these books are what CGC considers 7.5 for early 1960's SA DC's................

 

any thoughts or comments?? i've always maintained that DC's get graded tougher and believe that these are pretty good examples. the BC's are as nice as the front..........

 

i'm adding these 3 to my stack of books for the National in NYC this weekend, as the CGC boxes hold 36 books........

The second and third I can see as 7.5. But the 1st? Has to be something other than the exterior to give it that grade.

Damn those are nice looking 7.5s. I'm sending in my first three books to CGC today so I'm very curious what I'll get back in grades - and I'm preparing myself for disappointment.

WTF? The first two don't look like 7.5s to me. The third I can see as a VF-. I think you were robbed.

[Timulty]

You know, someone ought to buy these off of him, if they are indeed for sale. I wouldn't be surprised, 10 years down the road a re-sub brings in a higher grade.

the B&B actually has a tiny chip off the back ULC (you can see it in the pic - it's just barely hanging on). so i can sorta see the 7.5 on that one.

 

Upon VERY close inspection, the JLA has a miniscule chip missing from the upper spine edge that can only be seen from the back. and a tiny indent crease about a half inch down from the BC ULC. that's it...............

 

the Flash has a tiny color breaking crease on the lower LFC. there are a few tiny color flakes missing on the very edge of the spine. it has a tiny (about half the size of a standard eraser head) smudge or stain on the upper BC.

 

that's all i can honestly see. these are STRICTLY graded books............

i'm agree with the BandB looks 7.5 but flash and jla look really better...

[divad]

Well, you certainly got farooked by the looks of it . . .

 

I wonder if DC's are handled by a different individual there, much like magazines are handled by the magazine crew and moderns are handled by the modern crew. Give us a little insight into this apparent discrepancy . . . pretty please? Steve?

JLA: 9.0; undergraded in my opinion

 

Flash: 8.0

 

B&B: 8.0

[marvelcollector]

The JLA looks like an 8.5 to me..the Flash an 8.0..and the last one..yeah, a 7.5...

Can't comment on CGC's grading tendencies, but from this small sample, yes, they appear to be overly tough on DCs...at least 2/3 of the time....

When people say strictly, do they mean undergraded?

i suppose one could come to that conclusion when the statement is viewed in the complete context of the commentary............

 

i'm not going for the sympathy vote here, just trying to point out how VERY LOVELY a strictly graded 7.5 can be. believe me if i were buying these at 7.5 prices, i'd be one satisfied customer when they arrived in the mail.

[Timulty]

Yeah, no joke. They are some nice books. Too bad Silver Age JLA is not my bag.
