PGM Captain Marvel Adventures #19 1 1

[Bart Allen]

I was wondering what grade do you think this is? Would this benefit from a clean and a press?

There's a tear to the page; the cover isn't detached and there's a marker (pen) mark on one of the inner page corners ~

All comments are welcomed! Thanks!

Blunted corners, multiple color breaking creases, especially top right corner/top edge/near spine, moderate spine stress with color breaking spine ticks, moderate to severe staple tears, rusty staples, what appears to be tape or tape residue at the bottom right of rear cover, moderate foxing/dust shadow along spine of rear cover, 2" (?) tear to an interior page.

IMO...

4.0 VERY GOOD (VG):  Back to Top
The average used comic book. Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Cover reflectivity is low. Can have moderate creases or dimples. Corners may be blunted. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade copies. Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1" spine split. Staples may be discolored. Minor to moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple.

Thanks a lot :3 Would a clean and press be worth it, especially with some of the creases to the back cover?

I do not have my books cleaned and pressed, however, looking at the spine and cover pulling away from the staples I would think it may do more harm than good, especially for a book in the VG 4.0 range.

Aw totally get you there :3

The pressing may be helpful but the graders will look at tape repairs and will find what damages. You have a tear. It looks nice VG range book.

Thanks! Possibly may get the book clean and pressed ~

Any chance you would be open to selling this book?

I don’t think CGC mentions tape on the label anymore
