PGM FF 48

Hi. I plan to send this in with my membership coupon. What do you think?

I think it's too good to be true . . . where did it come from? Did you happen to buy it from a certain reknowned trimmer of books? Or, have you owned it forever, and specifically know its provenance? btw,

9.4

 

FF 48 was a warehouse find and is common in high grade so maybe it's legit.

[-cryptkeeper-]

9.4 wow wow wow

 

BTW send it to CGC

[Mr. Zipper]

It's a gorgeous book... appears 9.4... but the blue background makes me

 

Where did you get this book?

Very sweet book

[dunefan]

Hi,

I picked this up in 1987 or 1989 (It's written down in my checklist book) for $80 in a Portland bookstore. There's one little indentation in the building tower near the center of the cover.

 

Is there some stigma for the blue background. I picked up some construction paper to use as background in my scans. I'll use a different one tonight. I'll be posting a couple other books with the blue background tonight.

 

Back to work.

Looks like a 9.2...

There is a ebay comic seller renowned for selling restored books who uses a colored background on his scans. When some of us saw the blue, our first thought is that the book came from that seller.

 

Glad to see that it didn't.

9.2 to be safe. A beauty!

[divad]

9.4 And by all means use a coupon . . .

Nice book. I have been looking for a raw copy like this forever. This is a tough one for me to grade. My first guess was 9.4 but you mentioned an indent on the FC that might bring it down to 9.2, my gut says 9.4 and I am sticking with it. Let us know what it comes back.

[Buck Biggins]

A 9.0 maybe a 9.2

[mar-vell]

A 9.0 maybe a 9.2

 

agreed! at minimum STRICT 9.0--let us know what it scores!

That's 'cause some tards can't be happy with a VF and try to make a NM out of it.

[Clanof7]
