PGM Foxy Iron Man #55

[weaponx]

Tough book to grade. I think even with the foxing that it could fetch a 7.0

[Pirate]

Extensive staining (foxing) 5.0

 

Yeah... I could give a 60 year old GA some slack for foxing... but I would crucify a Bronze age book with heavy foxing. I believe CGC would as well.

 

7.0 structurally, but the foxing takes it down to a 5.0.

 

 

CGC doesn't hammer foxing NEARLY that bad.

 

You may be right in regard to CGC, but that doesn't change the fact that I would give this book a 5.0.

 

Is there anyone here that -- if you bought this sight unseen as a CGC 6.0/6.5 -- would be happy with the book?

 

If I bought a Bronze Age 6.5 with foxing like that I'd probably be tempted to smash the slab into a million overgraded pieces.

 

We don't need no stinkin' CGC!

 

This is not by any means light foxing. It severely detracts from the overall eye appeal of the book. It should also be isolated from other books in a collection. I, for one, would not even keep it in my collection.

 

Btw, I also cannot stand books that smell

 

this book doesn't smell believe it or not. I was just asking for a grade as i'm not sure how foxing affects grades. I have no plans to sell or "stick" someone with this book (believe it or not divad, you can still read it), the post was for educational purposes. If you don't want to be constructive divad, then please just troll.

 

All of my comments were constructive And the "smell" comment had nothing to do with this book . . . so stick your little

 

Aah so insulting is constructive. Cool Divad. If i knew you were such as [embarrassing lack of self control], I would never have bought that book from you. You live and learn
