seeking grade information

[mfbinx-migration]

Hi, I hope this isn't a repeat post. If so I apologise, the screen locked up and I don't know if it went through or not.

 

Tales to Astonish #14 is the issue. The pages are discolored on this book, maybe cream to tan? They aren't browned that's for sure. It appears to be in really good condition, but I'm new to comics and the grades. I've read how they score, but until I get a few examples of what each look like it won't make sense to me.

 

Here is one that I'm interested in seeing what grade that would come out. Thanks to anyone who helps.

Looks arond VG but hard to tell without seeing back and insides. It's a great book. What others do you have? One way to educate yourself is take a few to a store. Whatever the store owners grades them as will be a minimum grade. keith contarino

Is that a chip out of the back lower left corner, or is it bent over?

Thanks, I have a bunch. That one was what I thought a 4.0 would be, so maybe I do get that scale!

 

I do have a scan of the back, it's just in a different post. The way posts are done here is different from the format I'm used to. Sorry about that.

 

Here are a few of the ones I have....

 

My Greatest Adventures # 40, 45, 50, 51, 80

Showcase #10

Journey into Mystery # 62

It's bent over, not missing. THANKS!

Unless I'm missing some damage, looks more like a mid-grade to me. I'd say around 5.5 range. Nice one!

Thank you. Nope, no damage other than what you see. In general how much does non - white pages affect the value?

There's not really a formula to it. Generally speaking, if the pages are tan/dark tan it will drop the value a bit, but if they're more of a cream/light tan and still supple, that's well allowable in mid-grade and no big deal.

I would agree with 5.5 but the grade scoring of sun/dust-shadows is one of the super-top-sercret things at CGC. If they go soft with it you might get a 6.0.

Wow, there is so much for me to learn! Thanks so much for all your help.

[Scrooge]

If anything, the next one you should scan is the Justice League of America # 2.

Thank you! You guys are great. I really appreciate all the information and help.

Not at all. Welcome to the boards!

Ok. I will do that one next. I think it's in pretty good shape. Look for it over on the grading forum in a few minutes.

FN- 5.5 Nice solid book with no major faults. I think the page quality may be nicer than your guess.

Keith is describing an unscrupulous dealer who is trying to get the lowest possible price for buying purposes. The same dealer will then put up the maximum grade when selling. An honest dealer will give you the real grade. It is worth your time to try and find an honest one. It depends on your goals.
