Amazing Spiderman 300 newsstand,  faded cover but overall decent.

Go over to the Buddy can you spare a grade section.  Take a look at the sticky and post some pics.  You'll prob get several opinions on poss grades to help you make a decision.

I really don't know what kind of grade the fading would receive, but I wouldn't grade this one.  I just don't think slabbing would help the faded presentation. It will probably sell at roughly the same price whether slabbed or raw.

No.

Sorry.  I am brand new here.  Didn't mean to post in the wrong section

Personally, I love it - the fading looks like it's some kind of weird limited edition black and white cover.

no

Is that book framed?  It looks like it was hanging for a long period time.

[KCOComics]

I would not. 

It's a very common book and this likely wouldn't return a grade that would offset the cost of grading. 

 

[Cman429]

I wouldn’t. That book is so ridiculously common and over submitted that unless you’re going to get a 9.4+ good luck selling it

[scburdet]

Between a 4.0-5.0. Not worth grading

No worries. Fading can be a tough call, but I'd probably keep this book as a reading copy...

Not the wrong section. Just another spot where you can get grade estimates. And welcome to the boards!

Yes. It's framed, but I can't remember if that was the way I purchased it many years ago or it turned that way

Have you removed it from the frame?  Have you?

It will be interested if you remove it and you may see the colorful ring around the corners.  Plan to remove it from the frame?   Just stick with it?

I don't think so.  It is already so faded that I am not even worried about it honestly.  But yeah,  that would be interesting to see if it was my fault
