hupspring Posted Sunday at 09:50 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:50 PM This was one of my favorite comics (and I believe one of the first I got) as a kid which is likely why it looks well worn. There are a lot of issues with it but I think I'd still like to grade it and put it up for display. There are what look like punctures on the bottom of several of the inner pages (see picture with red arrows) - is that something that would have happened during the printing process?

timfinz Posted Sunday at 10:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:14 PM First of all welcome to the boards, glad to have you join us! Thank you for sharing your childhood treasures! The holes you are referring to on the inner pages are gripper tears and do not have an effect on the grade of your book. It looks like a well loved copy that has been read more than once! 4.5 IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted Monday at 08:05 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:05 PM I agree with 4.5, as long as you're submitting for nostalgic purposes, you can't lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoboto Posted Monday at 09:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:06 PM 3.5 as it sits. Press to a 5.0 most likely. Good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely just want to get this graded for nostalgia and display purposes. timfinz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
