PGM Master 35, Crowley copy

[SuperBird]

Perfect uncirculated copy, with just a little scratch on the spine Cover is solidly attached. When I tried to give it an unqualified grade, my head kept picturing that 2.5 CGC Action #1 with the masthead torn off, which is clearly ridiculous, but there it is.

looks like a great copy other than the missing spine piece,.. I would say 2.5/3.0 since the rest of the book is so nice.

Grades will really be all over the place on this one. I'll throw out a guess of 3.5, but it really is a guess. Don't know if CGC would agree, but I would tend to lower the technical grade a bit more b/c the missing piece affects the spine, as opposed to an edge piece.

 

FWIW, I saw the book in person and except for that flaw it is a stunner. Very sharp and glossy.

I rest my case!

I agree with 2.5/3.0 - though the rest of the book is pretty nice, the eye just goes to the missing piece. Really the sort of book that should be judged from a scan and description rather than a simple grade.

Qualified 9.8!

I would agree with 2.5, but I could see 3.0. That piece is just too large for me to go above G/VG, though I could see why others would. Honestly, it really is impossible to truly nail down a grade on that one.

[SuperBird]

totally agree. In hand, it's about as appealing as a VG- which is what I paid for it- so I'm pretty happy.

The Grading Bastiche says 2.0 but has no clue what CGC would give as far as a qualified grade. Great pick though.

Well, that cover is fantastic, so I can see why you would be happy with it.

You laugh now but wait until next year's grading guide. A 9.8 with a piece missing? No problemo!
