Fantastic Four 2 2 2

[Average RE]

Hi there could you spare a moment and grade this comic Fantastic four issue 2 1st appearance of the Skrulls. 
the centre fold is detached and is missing a piece at the bottom no word bubbles are missing. The comic also doesn’t have a top staple

How about "Well Loved"?

1.0. Skrulled

2.0 oww

although centerfold looks brittle around edges

I did wonder if that would be a 0.5 because of the missing staple, detached centrefold and missing pieces?

Poor .5 with any major missing piece like remainder copy or no back cover.

It's normal to get Fair 1.0 if the book is complete with full spine split.

Speaking of the missing piece on the centerfold that is already interrupted the art work.   Let's play safe to grade this book = 1.0 or 1.5.

1.5/1.8

[Lninefingers]

1.0

[LowGradeBronze]

1.5 (but may be downgraded for the date stamp on the back)

Sorry I’m new to cgc grading process, So this comic would still get a blue label not a purple or green and would be classed as incomplete?

The primary grader will decide the grade after one or two graders give the grade.  For example, 1st grader gives it 1.5, 2nd grader gives it 1.8 and the primary grader will pick 1.5 for the book.   Sometimes, they can give it a gift grade.  Never know.

If your book is not restored, it should be blue.   The detached CF at both staples is a defect.  The missing piece on the CF is other defect.  It depends on how many defects have accumulated, the grade will be lowered.  I don't think you will get the green label for your book.  The graders look at the common defects on your book.  Your book will be checked for any kind of restoration before the grade is given.

This post is old but it may be helpful for your inquiry on the green label.  I don't know if CGC has changed the rule upon the green label lately.  I don't see the green labels everything but few.

One more thing.  I still see two staple holes on CF and the cover.   The top staple is missing and will be other defect.

Thanks I wasn’t sure if it would be graded a 0.5 I wouldn’t mind a 1.0

If you don't have the CF, you will get 0.5 but I have a strong feeling this will be 1.0 at least.
