BA773 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I have now one and only one book in my view, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 I found this cbcs 5.0 (yes cbcs no hate please ) i m an absolute ignorant about grading, i never buy a slabbed book but for a so expensive book i cannot imagine to buy a raw copy (question of security). Thats the ebay link: https://www.ebay.ch/itm/126243361911?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=5222-175126-2357-0&ssspo=1x5qo2mgrlk&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ffh0bp_9r56&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY And here thats the defect list for this book that i found on cbcs website > Notes: many creases right front cover breaks color 1" edge stain right front cover, see interior spine roll, stress, creases & wear breaks color Im going to destroy this freaking slab, so i just want that the books looks well, so im a bit hesitating with this description details, with the books into the slab is really hard to know huch much the spine roll and the creases are bad...

LowGradeBronze Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) In what universe is that a 5.0? Far too much spine wear and creasing. Compare it with this nice looking raw 3.0 at Mycomicshop which is less than half the price. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=justice+league+america+1&pubid=&PubRng= Edited December 24, 2023 by LowGradeBronze AbsoluteCarnage, crazyhips and BA773 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really patient i will not pull the trigger before be sure to get the perfect book, at the moment i dont really see an exemplar who satisfy me. However there is 2 who look well. Especially this one, Im really curious about this 3.5, he seems to be really nice, im wondering who he will be ranked if the staple was not detached at top of the cover? What do you think? https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/2089321001/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Probably a 4.0 if the staple was attached. Not a very good wrap when you look at the back. BA773 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last copy i look for is this 4.5, avalaible on auction in january. But i think there is too much crease and roll on this copy... https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4343892002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Forget JLA 1. The fish you really want is BB28. Go big or don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I think it's spine roll, (as stated in the grader notes,) rather than a bad wrap. Look at how much of the pages you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know if i could have every comics I will already have them and at least in 9.8 but i cannot... and you and everyone here cannot too. So i just pick up the things who are the most important in my heart. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA773 Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 What about this 5.0? The Cgc notes indicates a lot of detail for this grade but visuelle that doesnt seems too bad multiple crease breaks color multiple split spine small, multiple tear staple detached top of cover staple weak bottom of back cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
