Mokiguy Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 This is the first time I've posted in this forum, so if I screwed up the size or type of pictures that will work here, I apologize. There is a water stain both on the front lower right, barely visible on cover but can be seen on inside cover. Also back lower left and that is more visible. A few of the pages inside have very faint damage, you really have to look hard to see it on most. Everything is tight, no spine splits, cutouts or tears. Staples and all pages well attached. It's a nice 60 year old silver age book other than that stain. So folks, what's the grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Pics are perfect for this forum. Unfortunately, as I am all too familiar with, your book has the CGC kiss of death. Any type of staining is treated harshly, and more if it's on the front than the back. That said, I'm a tad more optimistic than the other guesses so far. 4.5. I would be surprised, but not shocked if it got a 5.0 with a professional C/P that at least lightened the stains on the back. It's debatable if it's worth the effort/investment though. There's an 8.5 of ebay listed at $250. Hasn't sold at that priced, but the clean/grade with hopes of a 5.0 expenses would get you a good way to buying this copy if that's what you wanted in a PC.
