[Comicdey]

Also please compare to my other copy and give an opinion on which one you'd keep. Thanks.

 

FF 48

[Point Five]

Looks around 4.5 to me. (Funny enough "Fine" was indeed my guess for the 1980s grade, before scrolling down and reading it on the label!)

I think a 4.5 is a bit low. To me, it looks like this book has similar wear to a couple of the recent X-men books that were posted. The worst here is the yucky looking spine. I'd say a weak 5.5. I was guessing Mile High's 1980's grade was F/VF.

[inconceivable]

VG/FN 5.0 with the wear in the spine area and at bottom staple. How is the bottom staple?

The Grading Bastiche says .... 4.0.

[Comicdey]

No Timmy Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....................

 

Don't place an unrealistically low grade on this beauty just to lower my asking price. This book is not a VG........not a Fine either.....but definately not a VG. It has many positives going for it. Still glossy, no major corner creases, generally clean and flat, nice colors etc.

 

Thanks for all the opinions guys. The book is solid, staples are tight, and page quality is decent...I'll have to open it up to confirm color though.

 

I bought this while in college in Boulder. I purchased it from the Denver Mile High Store on Halifax street (??) for the whopping sum total of $14. It was graded as a fine as can be seen in my taped description, and I graded it as a FN- when I put it in the mylar years ago. I need to take it out and re-grade it with the changing times. I can't see this grading lower than a 4.5-5.0 as there are no major creases and the spine wear is the major detraction.

yeah, 20 years will knock a big down a little unless maybe in absolutely perfect conditions

[Darrell F]

I will agree with the people that said 4.5

Yeah, that bottom staple is pretty messed up. That's what keeps me on the border between 5.0 and 5.5.

??

 

are you referring to grading standards or 20 more years of mis-handling?

[Aces]

5.0

 

Not bad for $14.

[uclapeterg]

I agree with A - 5.0. I'll give ya $15 for it.

[Aces]

I agree with A - 5.0. I'll give ya $15 for it.

 

Go look at my advice in the other thread and see if you agree.

[Comicdey]

Thanks for all the opinions. Looks like this is the one to sell, although I like them both for different reasons.

[burntboy]

i concur with the 4.5 - 5.0 range...................

But your solution isn't one of the options.
