PGM Action Comics 269 1 1

I'm trying to get better at grading, so I'd like to see how your grades match with what I think on this book.  Thanks for your help.

Color breaks at staples, blunted corners, cover is completely detached.

I'd say 2.0 since detached cover is, I believe, allowed in the Good range. Looks nice enough for 2.0

According to the CGC guide, a detached cover can grade 2.5-5.0, but typically not above 4.0. 3.0/3.5 based on the other creasing

Thanks,  I wasn't sure about that.  I thought that a detached cover might automatically put it in the 2.0-2.5 range. With this one, I thought the condition of the cover was decent.  It will help me evaluate a bunch of my old DC comics.

I am in the 2.5 / 3.0 range, but tough to see details on the corners and spine.

Without seeing the cover opened or the interiors, I would say a 3.5, but depending on what the staple area looks like when it's open, that could be different I guess. Thanks for sharing!  Every time I see a silver age Superman or Action cover I crack up.  Goofy silver-age Supes is my favorite Supes, and I'm so glad Grant Morrison captured and updated that in All-Star Superman.
