Is this book worth grading? Please help me decide. I'd be fine with 7.0 raw but would want to grade a 7.5 or better.

 

 

 

Pages are kinda tan to off-white in my estimation. I bought this as a "hi-grade" book off ebay.

 

What do you guys think?

[piper]

I'm leaning to 7.0.

Keep it raw, not worth sending it in

Agreed. My guess would be 6.5/7.0 range. Not worth slabbing.

[djpinkpanther67]

6.5 all day. Decent enough copy

[Dad&Son-migration]

give it to nik..he'll get you an 8.0 of out it when he submits

[Point Five]

Agree with 6.5!...not bad but definitely no reason to slab.

[Shadow]

Agree with Point 5.

[Raphael]

Thanks all!

 

 

With what you guys are saying, I will definately not bother with sending it in for slabbing.

 

i guess it just goes to show what you get for a "hi-grade" ebay book

"hi-grade" ebay book

 

Oxymoron

Buy your raw HG books here on the boards . . . you'll do much better.

Divad, I'm going to have disagree with your statement there. Or to be more exact, further develop your point- buy your High Grade AND Low Grade comics here.

 

Oneasian, my experience since joining the forum a month ago has been that members here (in the 50+ issues I've picked up the past 2-3 weeks) have consistently graded at least if not lower than advertised. I'm not so sure that eBay can make the same claim if you're buying from an uknown seller (despite 99.9% -100% positive ratings). Not only that, but the prices aren't really any different for the most part here as well.

 

I'd probably place this issue a 6.0 tops just because it seems to have a few more small creases, lower cover gloss, etc, than most of the issues I've got at a 6.0 level.

One thing's for sure, these boards are an awesome place to get slabbed books.

 

For certain issues I really like, especially the older books (SA for me), I prefer having a graded copy in 7.0 or better (it's what I can afford) and a raw copy

Uh, nobody slabs a 7.0 book . . .

At thy peril . . .

i guess i'm really showing my age when i say that the older SA books in 7.0 F/VF range are what I can afford

Collect what you can afford. As for the age thing, I'm finding I have less money for comics now then when I was just getting out of university (e.g. mortgage, child care expenses etc..).

i think i'm just discovering that now, although i dont yet have the mortgage or children to take care of

Just make sure you buy your big tv, comic grails etc. before you get married.

Roger that! Kind of hard explaining to the wife how paying large sums of money for one comic book makes total sense.

 

Then again, if your wife has a penchant for J.Crew clothing and pays $50 for a t-shirt, you're safe.
