PGM Batman 227 1 1

[rumrunner71]

Hi All,

Thanks for the help in estimating a grade with this one. The colors are sharp, but there are some issues that I see: quite a few color-breaking folds, some white spots (maybe from light tape? not sure) between the A and the T in "Bat," and somebody must have used it as a coaster at some point (see inside cover pic.) There's also some rippling on the back cover, bottom left corner that looks to me to be pressable. A few of the pages have bends (again, maybe pressable?) at the corners, and a couple have some chipping.

I know she ain't the highest grade, but grateful for your thoughts on it!

4.0

It looks way nicer than my copy (which is still non-existent and I'm jealous)! I was also thinking in the 3.5-4.0 range. Nice book!

As JollyComics pointed out, cleaned and pressed then slabbed with at least a 4.5 label should net you a small profit after what you would get for the book raw + the submission expense and make for an easier, faster sale than going the raw route with this book, in my humble opinion.

Thanks for the tip! It would be great to improve some of the smaller issues with this copy. And a faster sale is never a bad thing

it might bring a CGC 5.0 but easier to sell it as a raw VG

I’ll go with 4.0…. Be interested to see how that ring on the BC would react to a press

I'm curious about that too. With the black, you don't really see it on the front cover, so maybe it will press out? Probably still leave some kind of ring though
