PGM Daredevil #1- to slab or not to slab...

8.0, based on light spine stress in URC. Definite slab material.

[Dad&Son-migration]

Absolutely slab that baby!!! I'd certainly agree... 8.0!!!

7.5 / 8.0

I think you guys are being generous with the grades on this one. I think the spine is loaded with creases and bends but are hard to see in the scan because of the light color.

 

The spine corners are abraided and rounded slightly. The two dents near the center of the top of the back cover bug me. Staple stress lines and the discoloration is kinda distracting.

 

I think this is no higher than a 7.0

nah, I have no interest in Daredevil. For someone who has no interest in Daredevil though I seem to have an awful lot of this title for some reason.

 

I was suckered into buying them from a local once because half his collection I really wanted and the other half was all Daredevil

 

I keep meaning to dig them out and price them out super cheap to get rid of them!

did you sell me this book 30 years ago? you've got quite an eye cuz the book does look better in the scan. there are faint creases in the white area on the front cover that aren't visible in the scan. i'm not sure i agree about discoloration- this book is pretty white compared to other DD #1's i've seen. i was thinking 7.5 myself- (bought as NM- of course- old school grading). IMO this is the kind of book that would look just as good unslabbed in a collection then in a slab w/ a grade distracting from what's otherwise a book w/ very nice eye appeal. grading from scans is folly anyway but i appreciate everyone's input.

Absolutely slab it - it's a "money book"

[herald2galactus]

that book is in horrible shape, its absolutely disgusting, but im gonna help u out here..i gonna let u send it to me so i can dispose of it properly, ill pm u my address

no need to thank me..

[The Troll King]

well, it may be a show through on the front and back that I'm seeing rather than a discoloration.

 

I do admit as far as DD #1's go, it is very nice looking! Too bad that DD never got as popular as FF or ASM cause this would be a much more sought after book!

[joeypost]

7.0 a very solid 7.0 but you will never know unless you send it in. Many of us have been surprised by CGC one way or the other.

I would be very surprised if it graded under an 8.0

[Darrell F]

I agree on the 7.5
