Adventure 431...good enough to send in?

[Inhuman Fiend]

This one looks pretty good to me...I just wonder if the slight soiling on the back edges will bring it down much? Note...the small, light splotch on the spine in the middle of Spectre's cape is a printing mark, not a stain or wear. Please let me know what you think!

Structurally, it looks like at least a 9.4, but I would think that dirt would bring it down to 9.2....

Sorry, I can't help about sending it in...I've no idea of the market for this book...

[Dad&Son-migration]

Yep.. I would send it in... 9.4 IMO

Great cover! I'd give it a 9.2 with an outside shot at a 9.4. Scans can overemphasize the stains on the back cover (I know mine does).

 

Maybe you should give it the "wonderbread" treament to clean up that back cover. Anybody ever try this stuff off of comicsupply.com?

Don't even need that... just take a white art eraser with light pressure and strokes in one direction.. it'll take that grime away super-fast!!!

Depends what you intend to do with it . . . I would say no.

[Fandango]

Slab to sell, otherwise keep it as is. Nice book.

[Shadow]

Nice book 9.2 at least.

 

I don't think it's worth sending to CGC unless you plan on selling.

[Inhuman Fiend]

I plan on keeping it...it just looks so beautiful in-hand I was curious as to how CGC would grade it (but not worth the fees for a book of this value though). To me it looks structurally like a 9.6 but I'm not sure how much the slight soiling on the back hurts it. Thanks for everyone's input!
