Amazing Spider-Man 121 Grade?

[Hathor-migration]

Hi again,

 

and thanks all for your help in grading my ASM 7!!

 

This is the second book I’m looking opinions about the grade. Thanks to your suggestions I’m very tempted to send this and the other books to CGC before offering them for sale, but living in Europe I’m very scared by all the problems that shipping costs and Customs could generate.

 

Is there anyone out there who had a similar experience?

 

The book to grade is Amazing Spider-Man 121:

Thanks again for any help that you can provide.

If it was any other book than 121, 122, or 129. This would probably be a 9.0/9.2 but since it's a 121.. I'd say 8.5 unless they don't take off for those 2 printer marks along the bottom of the cover, in which case it could be a 9.0

8.0-8.5 You can probably sell this raw since it's not a 9+.

Yikes, I graded something lower than Murph. Better go get another beer

nice book again, 8.5!

I'd say NM- 9.2 (If there are no stress lines in spine. They are difficult to see in yellow colored books.)

 

I think other people graded this down to 8.5 because CGC seems to be very strict in these heavy submitted issues (ASM 121,122).

 

But those kind of things shouldn't affect grading. It's totally irrelevant.

Thanks again.

 

Do you think $100 could be a right price for this book?

Only if you want to sell it to me, but to tell you the truth. No 100 dollars is low, you're talking 150 or so probably. If you slab it and get a 9.0, you're looking at around 200-225. And if you get a 9.2, probably 275-290.
