ASM 129 Torn out large piece
2 2

7 posts in this topic

It definitely will be deemed to be INCOMPLETE (large piece out of page 1 which affects story).  I'm 100% in the 0.5 PR camp.  However, I've seen several books like this receive CGC Universal grades of 1.0 FR.  So you might get lucky.

According to the CGC guide, the Incomplete notation on the label was discontinued in 2022., but this does look larger than a 2×2 threshold to be considered for a qualified label. I'll guess 1.0

Blunted corners, edge wear with a dust/sun shadow along the outer edge, some small denting/creasing at lower right corner/edge, minor spine wear with a few small color breaking spine ticks, long color breaking scratch/crease in center of cover, minor spine roll, some discoloration of the rear cover, 1/2 of 1st page missing, it does affect the story.

IMO, this book would receive a Green Qualified Label grade of FN 6.0

The book would receive a Universal Blue Label grade of PR 0.5 Incomplete

Probably 0.5 but I want to say 1.0.

My ASM 129 has panels missing and a detached and stained cover. It's surely a 0.5. Yours is nicer despite it's big flaw. Seems a shame to grade them equally.

Thanks for posting.
