PGM Fantastic Four #7

[namisgr]

Front cover has several indents along the spine, a quarter inch spine stress, and a crease at the URFC. Back cover has a stain at the bottom spine that does not go through to any pages. Page quality is off-white, inside covers are bright. Thanks for all your input!

5.0

looks nicer but water stain is quite dark

[Dad&Son-migration]

I agree with mar-vell on this one!! 5.0

Yep. 5.0

I was thinking 7.0 without the H2O stain.

[rjpb]

The H2O stain doesn't bother me as much as it does others, but respecting the "deal-breaker" status it represents for many collectors, I'd say 5.5 with the realization that CGC would probably be harsher.

[Mr. Zipper]

Too bad... a real sweet 6.5/7.0 if not for the water stain.

 

I agree with 5.0.

agreed with 5.0, nice looking copy

I hate stains...a nice 6.5/7.0 book knocked down to a 5.0 because of this. Nice book BTW, it presents well.

[burntboy]

well the concensus is pretty much unanimous, but i'm inclined to think 5.5 - 6.0.

 

i was thinking about 7.0 - 7.5 without the stain and down about a point and a half since it's fairly small and on the BC - the book certainly presents well - perhaps a mid-grade collectors dream - a book with the predominant defect on the BC......

[namisgr]

With book in hand, I had this graded as a F- (5.5) before soliciting opinions. Less the stain, the book is about a F/VF, so it is taking a pretty big hit - since the stain doesn't go through to any pages, I don't believe the grade should be knocked down any further.

 

Thanks again for your useful input!

Yeah.... a nice 7.0 without the h2o stain.. a nice 5.0 - 5.5 perhaps without it.

 

....just my opinion though.

[marvelcollector]

5.5
