PGM: 1962 Aquaman #1

3 posts in this topic

i've started asking for grade ideas and opinion/advice on a stash of comics that belonged to my uncle and just got 'found' recently. i've gone through them and am trying to figure out if they should be pressed and which ones i should get graded (and thank you to everyone who gave perspective on Avengers #1). i would love your thoughts/insight on this Aquaman #1. thanks in advance for your expertise

It does look like that top edge could be improved by pressing. The book looks structurally sound (always my caveat that someone who does this professionally should check that out before smashing it). That tanning/foxing on the inside bottom edge and inner page bottom is probably the capping defect (do more of the inner pages look like this?). I'll say 5.5±0.5, but will present nicely b/c the tanning is mostly internal (unless what's on the outside just doesn't show well in photos). You've stumbled into a little gold mine of comics. Great to see a stash like this come to light
