NY Roadkill Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I am always looking to learn the subtle differences for these old books between different grades. I was at 5.0-5.5, but maybe I am low - going to post mine and see how it compares. Mine has a small amount of writing on the cover.

AZButler Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 Roadkill - I know next to nothing about grading these. I decided to get my late brother's comic collection out and take a look. They've been sitting in boxes for over 25 years... Trying to decide what to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Condolences on your loss. Significant fraying (tiny tears with color-breaking creases) to the top edge (the overcover). Significant wear at the corners, spine and other edges. Not the appearance I'd want to see in a book described or labeled as FN-ish. So put me in the 4.5 camp. If you're just looking to maximize your net return, this is one you should sell raw. One man's opinion. AZButler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
