PGM FF# 15 1st Mad Thinker

[CatskillMike]

No staple pulls. Somewhat abraded spine. Botton staple has just general staple wear no tears, upper staple has one 1mm and one 2mm staple tear . 2 mm edge tear by Ben's word ballon. 3/8 inch spine split LLC.

 

I'm thinking 4.5 because of split and level of abraded spine

Don't know why the back cover scan is so small. I could rescan if I have to, but it should do at this grade level.

3.5/4.0 Not sure if it can make a full 4.0 with that staining back cover...

[comicdonna]

I'll give it a 4.0

Ok Mike fess up. Are the Catskill mountains full of valuable comics?

I wish. Only the ones I manged to get here in one way or another.

i think 4.5 is too optimist for it...a solid 3.5 with a chance to 4.0, but not higher.

still a book with a nice eye appeal, kudos!

3.5 with the back cover stains

[-cryptkeeper-]

agreed with 3.5

Spine lower staple to rough for a solid 4.0? When looking at the book, I was thinking since there are no staple pulls, book feels solid, and corner creasing is minimal, it might get a little boost to the 4.0 range. I did not deduct for the staining though, as I figured that was allowed in the grade.

somewhat surprised that no one has mentioned the "subscription crease" that extends through about a third of the cover..............

 

it's a long color breaking crease that pops up in about three places on the scan.

 

i would have opted for a VG 4.0 except for the staining on the BC. so, i'll agree with an estimate of 3.5...............

4.0. If the stains don't go throuigh the book, I dont think were talking about a drop in grade. It's already a VG already.
