Help with valuable comic with cover in rough condition 2 2

[Nijele]

I have a original journey into mystery #83 that has a bad cover because pieces are missing. Is it worth grading? And how much is fair market value considered to be on something like that the in side is good.

Please post some good pics, including that of the back cover, and disclose any hidden defects.

And we'll give you a grade estimate.

Probably any JIM 83 is worth slabbing if you're into that sort of thing.

That book could be coverless and it would be worth grading. So the easy answer is yes, your copy is worth grading.

Just looking quickly at your pic and the defects I can see, the book will be in the FR 1.0 - FR/GD 1.5 unless the pages are brittle, there are pages missing, ads cut out that affect the story, etc. then the book would be a PR 0.5.

However, being a JIM 83, in a recent eBay auction a JIM 83, CGC FR/GD 1.5 sold for $2325.00, my "assumption" would be, in a worse case scenario, the book being incomplete and grading at a PR 0.5 would still bring $700.00 - $1000.00.
