PGM Journey Into Mystery 83 Introducing...the Mighty Thor! 1 1

[JRibble]

Just bought off the boards and paid as much as a new car engine (which I know is the case 'cause I had to get one for my crappy 6 YO Hyundai Sonata...Anyway the seller points out the chunk in the top left which carries around to the back cover, could put this between a 3.5 down to a 2.5.  I may try a clean on this and perhaps a light press as there is some waviness and though no significant water damage there is some light staining.  Thoughts on this classic?  Thank you!

2.5/3.0 is a good expectation b/c of pieces out. It seems unlikely to me that C/P move the needle here b/c they can't get rid of the missing parts. It might improve the presentation, but not the grade. I did not read the post before looking at the pictures, but generally a good idea not to bias the jury with grades. At minimum, use the spoiler feature.

Valuable book even with missing pieces , likely 3.0-3.5

By Odin's raven! Thou has't to possess a mighty tome, mortal.... I doth declare it to be a 3.0 for as long as Surtur is to be held at bay and Ragnarok has yet to burst forth upon the fair lands of Asgard.

3.0 - I would not risk a press on this. The grade isn't changing and it already presents nicely despite the obvious defects.

I'm in the 2.5 - 3.0 camp.  Leaning towards 3.0
