PGM TOS 39

Back is as nice as front. Only real issue is the spine is 75% split. Sweet book otherwise!

31 peeks and no opinions?

It's a toughie! I was thinking 2.5, but thought my grade might be totally out to lunch.

Well . . . take it out of the plastic, scan both covers and describe the defects in detail and we can give you an opinion or two.

[Shadow]

Tough to tell in bag. From description, maybe a 2.5

[JohnT]

2.0 with that much of spine split.

[Comicdey]

restorable to a 4.0, but I'd have a tough time grading it more than a 2.0. If the cover were loose, but not split, the best I've seen CGC grade a book is 2.5 and that's my Marvel Mystery GA book.

spine split kills it , 2.0 at best

sweet book indeed

[Dr_Neff]

2.5 my FC 16 had completely detached covers and got a 2.0

[burntboy]

have to agree that something in the 2.0 - 3.0 range sounds in order. saw that Hawkman #1 today and it had seemingly fewer overall defects, except for a single popped staple and got a 5.0.

 

with this much spine stress and a completely split spine for 3/4 of the cover, i'd guess that the opinions offer so far are about right.

 

having said that, if the split weren't there (and you can't see it anyway) that is a sweet looking copy of a treasured book............

Whats a sine split? And yes, Im serious

[burntboy]

Whats a sine split? And yes, Im serious

 

well, since you're serious; a SPINE split is simply a separation of the books front and back cover along the spine (left edge when viewing the cover). the split can range from very small (less than a quarter inch) to complete separation of the covers.

 

this books front and rear covers are separated from just below the top staple all the way down to the bottom edge.

[eriqui]

Oooo ok. I was wondering why everyone was giving it such a low grade! At first glance the cover looks great to me but the spine split messes up the whole thing..

2.0

[mr.schomburg]

1.5 at best with a 3/4th's spine split. The absolute best grade I would give it. Don't care if it looked mint otherwise. Still, a very nice book to have, and congrats!
