New to the industry and inherited this comic. Just want to ask to see if I can get an idea on what this could be. Thank you all.

Your book could defiantly benefit from a Clean & Press. I’d put it at a 6.5-7.0 (with a C&P). A great book in pretty much any grade and yours presents nicely! Thanks for sharing.

Since you're new, make sure you check that the Marvel Value Stamp isn't clipped. It's a common thing to happen. I'm going with 6.0/6.5. That bend at the spine is hard enough that I'm betting there will still be some residual evidence of it. If the stamp is clipped, it's still the same grade, but would get a green label and take a hit in value.

6.0 with the spine ticks

6.0 as is. It's a great looking book but I dont see going above a 6.5 with those cb creases. I'd still get it cnp'd though.

About a 6.0.

Clean and press it for a grade, maybe 2, higher.

Thanks for posting.

Apologies in advance as I always seem to come in lower than a lot of other board members. I see some page quality issues especially the browning at the bottom edge. Also the soiling on back cover which may or may not be removable with expert help. This is not a book that any amateur cleaner should fiddle with, let's be clear on that. Overall with the soiling, creases and spine wear I'm seeing a 4.0 to 4.5 which may well clean & press to 5.0 or 5.5.

It has the stamp so I assume that will be alright. Thank you for enlightening me on that.

If you're new to comics or have been left a collection recently it may be worth starting a new thread asking for a few recommendations for worthwhile comic websites to help you with an idea on values etc. I'll start off recommending mycomicshop.com as theres a wealth of info on there about artists and story arcs well as the books for sale. A great resource.
