Anybody want to try this Cap 59 ?

Interior complete but 2 center leafs detached. No interior tears or creases or markings. Cover also detached. Darn single staple comics.

 

Scan seems to make it look duller than it really is. But it would be wrong to brighten it up with Photoshop.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance for any input!!

With the detachments, technical grade around 2.5/3.0 I guess? Still a great book...

Technically, probably no better than a 2.5, but eye appeal would give it closer to 3.0 value IMHO.

 

Seems some collectors of low grade books find detached covers unacceptable, while others are more concerned with eye-appeal when bargain hunting.

I could'nt of said it any better. I agree entirely.

 

That is an awesome cover though.

 

If you don't mind me asking, ..how much did you pay for it?

i agree with the rest... cant go higher than 2.5 , but that grade it can easily make.

Solid eye appeal, if i bought it for 2.5 guide i would not be dissatisfied... if i approved of detachments that is . The luxury of not collecting GA is that you can afford to have these requirements on your lower grade books

A great low grade reader. take the cover off and read it, put the cover back on.

I'm not trying to cop out on this question, but I got this from the original owner. He paid a dime for it when he was about 13 yrs old. He isn't a collector, more of a pack rat sort of a guy. His comics were well read, passed around amongst friends, used and abused, then loosely put in a box and thrown into an attic for about 60 years. Fortunately there's no water, mold, rodent or bug damage.

 

I'm not quite sure what to offer him for it, hence the requests for grading help. I want to be fair with him and was very unsure on how to grade with these defects. The consensus seems to be about 2.5. I really appreciate the help everyone has given here.

2.5 sounds fair, i love those G.A cap
