Reivax81 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hello, this is my first post. I hope this works and is enough detail to get an idea of what shape the comic is in. I imagine the autograph complicates things a little bit in terms of evaluating. I’m veeeeery new to this. These are comics that were recently inherited. Thanks greatly for any help.

Reivax81 Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 some closer pictures of the spine to make it easier to see. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Around 8.0. the black background especially along the spine on both sides shows every stress line, plus there's some color rub/scuffing on the back with a dinged corner. The signature will lead to a Green label at CGC since they didn't witness it. Some collectors will be hesitant to pay the same $$$ for a Green label compared to a Yellow signature series. Other companies offer signature verification for books were the signing was not observed by the company Mars76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Sad that you had to lose someone to get these comics but take some pleasure from owning them, for sure. I'm at 8.0 or 8.5 on this one and it's a great book to have in nice shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve probably spent 24 hours total now sorting and bagging comics. Almost done sorting at this point. Thanks again for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilo2 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I agree with the prevailing wisdom on this one: 8.0. I'd also recommend submitting to CBCS for the sig. verification. Nice book either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 8.0/9.0 Green label for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timfinz Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Crash Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 8.0/8.5 for me. I’m not a fan of the green label copies, so just my opinion but I’d keep it raw if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 With a press I think you'd cap at 8.5 Qualified or 7.0 Universal. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
