Guess the grade (Tales of Suspense 63)

[cannonfodder]

Hey everyone. I just got my TOS 63 back from CGC. I thought it would get an 8.0 with off-white pages. Here's the pre-graded scans (sorry, no interior shots as I forgot about that before sending it off) Anyone want to guess what it ended up getting? Anyone think I was dead on or way off?

I think you were pleasantly surprised with the grade you got, and that you initial thoughts were low . . .

8.5?

[silverseeker]

I'd also guess 8.5, but it would depend on how much the foxing(?) at the bottom of the back cover affected the book's grade. Nice copy!

I'll go the opposite direction and say you were disappointed with a 7.0 due to half a dozen or so chips, crease in upper right corner, and the foxing.

Gorgeous book.

 

Since the spine is really nice with almost no stresses, I'm going to guess CGC gave it an 8.5. They go pretty easy on the foxing and tiny chips...

That's why I'll go as high as: 9.0

Agreed - 9.0

Settle down. I'll post the scan when I get home. (~3 hours)

I actually was going to post it while I was here at work (thanks for paying me to surf, taxpayers!) but I forgot to upload the scan. Whoops.

[eriqui]

Im guessing it was an 8.5

[nik]

8.0

[rodan57]

I think 8.0 is a good call.

 

My 12¢

[horus-ra-migration]

 

8.0

 

Kind regards

Nice book.

8.5

7.5/8.0 leaning towards the 8.0

[cannonfodder]

Aces and Fedoraman are the big winners! It scored a 9.0, although the PQ was lower than I personally thought it was, but oh well. Not too bad for a $30 buy. It also is the 1st Silver Aga origin of Caps.
