PGM: Power Comics #4......L.B. Cole

[MCMiles]

Tanning on interior covers. CF detached at one staple.

[divad]

A really tough book to grade . . . perhaps the toughest challenge I've seen on these boards yet

[rjpb]

Except for the bottom creases it's a real nice book.

For me a semi-detached CF is not really a big deal, and even with tanning on the inside covers, I would call it an easy 4.0.

 

personally I"ve always felt that even a totally loose CF isn't

an automatic disqualifier for VG or better. I can understand it being a problem on a high grade book, but there are plenty of defects "allowed" in 4.0- 6.0 books that bother me more than a loose centerfold.

[Mad Dog]

yup... tough one... all i can say is that a FINE looking book with a partly loose CF and tanning would prob end up in the VG range 3.5-4.5. Leaning more towards 3.5 than the latter on this one.

[MCMiles]

Do you guys have any VG and Vg minus books for sale?

[Owls Head]

maybe 5.0

 

that is a couple of large corner creases FLRC

 

 

but structure is very solid to my eyes...

 

nice one

[Point Five]

This is a toughie.

 

I'm going to say 4.5, as even with the minor CF issue I think the book just looks too nice to go any lower. Sharp edges all around, and a spine belonging to a mid-grade book. There are multiple large creases which will hurt the grade no matter what, but it looks like they don't break color. I think 3.5 and even 4.0 is just too harsh for a book with this level of preservation and eye appeal.

yeah that was my line of thinking.

 

5.0/5.5

[Paratrooper]

CGC grades GA books a little more Lib eral than SA books so I'm going to agree with Owls Head 5.0-5.5

[50 Cent #II (1st)]

5.5-6.0

[Comicdey]

I'll go on record as a very pretty 4.5 and very possibly a CGC 5.0, but the detached staple makes me think 4.5 is more accurate.

 

remember a sub copy can be upward of VG/FN to FN- if it's slight. The two bottom creases are equivalent to a sub crease IMO. The back cover doesn't have so much eye appeal going for it with the spotting along the spine and minor warbling, but it doesn't have the creases.

Me, too...

 

I would say 5.5

[action1kid]

5.0/5.5

[rjpb]

Okay, okay, but I did say it was easy 4.0.

 

At least I put forth a grade, unlike a certain chin stroker

 

After further review, I'll admit that those unfortunate corner creases grabbed my eye, and influenced me downwards, they may be non-color breaking, but they do pop out on the scan. - I'll second Comicdey's assessment of a 4.5 with potential for 5.0 depending on how it looks in hand.

I always ask that question, but they never do.

 

5.0

[MCMiles]

BTW, CGC gave it a 5.5. I'll see if I can find the lable and scan it.
