PGM Silver Surfer n°2 and 4

[Sir Ped of Ro]

thanks for looking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

interior pages are in very nice shape (at worst off white to white pages), no hidden flaws...

 

n°2 seems to be around 5.5 and n°4 altough still a good eye appeal, the back cover LLC bump makes me scratch my head if it goes below the 5.0 (or is it too harsh?)

Nice-looking mid-grades. I'd go just a bit lower on the #2, mostly for the ULC corner dings...

 

#2: 5.0

#4: 5.0/5.5

Yeah, I think Point Five is right. They seem a little too...straight and solid for only a VG rating. I think VG/F (5.0) would be a pretty safe better on these two with that great Thor/Surfer cover going with 5.5.

thanks

 

only an 0.5 grade difference between the 2 comics? the n°2 seems to have overral more visible flaws and less eye appeal (and the n°4 is a more "darkish" cover) than the other

 

any chance the 4 to get an 6.0...?

The #4 does look sharper overall, but the vertical reading crease is more pronounced on that book, at least in the scan. I tend to grade that defect harshly, though others might be more lenient.

 

Squarebound books are harder to judge from scans anyway because we can't view the spines from the side. In hand, the #2 might look a bit worse because the spine has more wear, and the #4 might look a bit better.

indeed, the squarebound's are more tricky to grade...

 

the "wear" on the 4 is more pronounced mostly due to the black cover
