Just seeing the cover I'd say it's between 6.5-8.0 based on this one pic of cover only. What color are the pages?, any interior folds, creases, dings, writing? Based on the comments below I'd say 8.0/8.5 with 1 spine tick and off white/white pages. CG-Slab would give it a 6.5 unless you had a big account then it would get around 8.5/9.0 LOL. I bought a 1975 # 1 Marvel horror issue with 3-4 ticks to the spine and it was otherwise similar to yours. It was CG-Slabbed 8.5 BUT it came from a major dealer. They say this does not happen, there is no bias to big accounts...BULL!

Do most of you buy already graded books or send your books off to get graded?

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 21:31:14 GMT

I buy graded issues of rare RRP and convention books, and then I send variant covers I buy here at the shop. It all depends on what I can find here. I probably send 30% to get graded and the other 70% I buy.

Hi neon you can send in your books through the mail,you dont need a store I get the express 80.00 to encapsulate up to a 4000.00 value I can only send in a few at a time.very expensive.I also wait for the wizard world Los Angeles con to get some good moderns graded.

[quote=oakman29]how about the ghost riders 1st appearance can you spare a grade. You got yourself a very nice comic book here, but I don't think it'll get an 8.5, at least not from this perspective, so I'll be conservative and say 7.5 - 8.0 (Very Fine). Below is the Overstreet '07 listing for your book. 5-Origin/1st app. Ghost Rider (8/72) & begins 15 30 [45 109 175] 240 This puts the value somewhere between the brackets, which, contrary to popular beliefs regarding Overstreet, is very realistic, especially concernining ebay values, since I recently done a search for this exact issue and found final prices within this same range.

your just about in the right area I had paid 175.00 for the book b4 all the ghost rider movie hype.I know that was probably too much for the book ,but its very hard finding anything high grade for this book.I dont have deeeeep pockets.so finding an already graded book in the 9s was out of the question.I figured 8.0/8.5 if Im lucky,so good call danwes1

[img]http://danwesley.20m.com/UltraMan_Virgin%20Covers%20Edition.jpg[/img] Ultraman #1 - A good example of "Ad Art". This comic is still in it's original bag - complete with trading card. Remember, this is a comic book that can't be read. It is "slabbed" in the same sence that a CGC book is - because you can't open it for any reason - without risking degrading the book. (I don't know what # the card is.)

I got the Spider-Man #65 on eBay and the tape (unopened by the way)is just in the original polybag and included with the slab.

Very nice ASM #129! Looks awesome!

Just got my Wolverine Origins #10 third claw variant back today. I was surprised to receive the grade I did with the white cover. Here it is...

With what I've seen of your collection so far you should do very well grade wise oakman. Wish I could go to the WW LA con. As soon as the Web of Spider-man shows up I'll get it posted right away. That one is the last of my older issues that was worth submitting. I just hope my local comic shop took care of it when they packed it. It is in awesome shape and I almost forgot that I had it packed away with my photo albums believe it or not. My wife had to remind me that I had put some comics in there when we moved so that they would be in a hard plastic bin instead of my cardboard boxes. The other books were older Hulks and X-Men but weren't grading material. Just sentimental value.

[size=6]oakman29, you're killing me with those books!! Fantastic examples. Most of my early Amazing Spider-Man are not in as great shape as yours. I bought them when there was only one local store and I might see one at the flea market so I would pick it up. Now as I said before, I can be picky. Once again, great books.[/size]=d>

Thanks! It was packed away neatly in a plastic bin in between some other books I have. It wasn't crushed or flattened like I thought it would be, and to be honest if I was to have given it a grade it would've been a 9.2 or 9.4. I was very surprised to get a 9.8 on it. I've requested the notes taken by the graders to see why they gave it a 9.8.

Oakman, I am absolutely jealous of your Werewolf by Night collection. I still need to get those books as I've only got #37 (I'll have to scan it for grade feedback, but I don't expect much). I've also got Moon Knight #1-38 (missing 8,9,25,26,28,29), Moon Knight Vol 2 (Fist of Khonshu) #1-6, Moon Knight Special Edition #1-3, Marc Spector: Moon Knight #1-60, and of course all of the newest run.

Thanks...actually, it's more of a 6.0...it has its imperfections, but I paid $200 for it from my dealer (after a decent %) and it's a beauty for its age. Considering I just bought a coverless ASM 16 on eBay for $7 you can tell that conditioning means little to me as long as I have the original book. I can always upgrade later.

I have an ASM that Im slightly concerned about, I certainly didnt overpay for it but dont know if it would grade well.

The X-Men 94, from this distance, looks VF to me.

I'm not sure what CGC rates a VF as, but I'd say you got off easy! #-o

[quote=oakman29]I think the bronze age is highly underated think about all the storylines,writers,artists,characters that came out of the bronze age.The potential? what could very well be the next Action #1,AF15 ETC.[/quote] The Silver Age also has some money it, as do key issues in the Bronze, but Modern Era comics aren't going to buy you a boat. Even though comics in the Golden Age had print runs in the millions, and comics in the Silver Age in the hundreds of thousands, the fact that so few of them exist today make them worth so much in any condition. Action #1, AF#15, Showcase #4 etc. are all rare books because no one ever considered them to be collector's items. Many of them were heavily read, drawn on, thrown away, etc. making them extremely scarce in any grade. I'm pretty sure Bronze and Modern Age books will never be in the same category as Golden or Silver Age books since comic collecting was well underway when those Bronze and Modern books first came out and people hoarded the books, bagged and boarded them, and even bought multiple copies. This only serves to flood the market with high grade copies of almost every book. What makes the older comics so valuable is the scarcity of them all. While I despise CGC, Check out their census and compare the number of Action #1's, Showcase #4's & Amazing Fantasy #15's vs Spiderman #129's & #300's and you'll see how much rarer the older books are than the newer ones: Action Comics #1 (1938) = 33 (1/3 of all of them are restored, only 1 copy VF/NM) Showcase #4 (1956) = 131 (1/3 of them are restored, only 6 copies VF/NM and 2 of those are restored) Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962) = 874 (more than 1/3 of them are restored, 38 copies in VF/NM and 25 of those are restored) Spiderman #129 (1974) = 2145 (761 copies in VF/NM) Spiderman #300 (1988) = 3569 (2704 copies in VF/NM and 58 ***LAUGH!!!*** of them are restored) And when you consider that most people don't CGC their books, it's reasonable to assume that there's even more copies of each out there. I agree with you, bronze age books are definitely increasing in value and will continue to do so, especially the more obscure titles in great condition. And I really agree that they're definitely underrated for their stories and art. So many of the storylines are being used in the movie adaptations and reintroduced in the current issues. Many are going to be high dollar books, but never like the Golden or Silver Age gems you mentioned.

Sun, 15 Apr 2007 17:03:06 GMT

Oakman, I see, got a little confused with your wording and lack of a question mark. I think the most obvious answer is Incredible Hulk #181. Already seen it break $1000 and with a Wolverine solo movie in the works, this can only rise and rise. From a biased standpoint, I think that many of the Batman's and Detectives will go up since they're going to be adapted for the films. As you can see I'm sort of stuck on the whole tv/movie connection theme but it seems to bring more people into collecting comics and does drive non-comic people into the stores. But I think trades handle those people while we like the original issues, and not just for their value. Who knows, maybe Night Nurse will actually end up as a tv series? From a morbid standpoint, as more and more artists and/or writers pass away, their work will skyrocket as well. And let's not forget all the undergrounds and indies that came out in the 70's with tiny print runs. These really brought some mature themes to the world of comics and really haven't been given their proper place in the world of comics. And once the polar ice caps melt and trees and land become scarcer and scarcer, anything paper will be worth a ton, I mean didn't you all see Waterworld????? Yes, even those awesome US 1 and Spanner's Galaxy books we all know and love and can't seem to get enough of seeing time and time again in those quarter bins, they will be the new currency!

All righty, some beautiful books out there, especiaaly jealous of the House of Secrets 92! Love that book. My copy is a 3.5 but I paid practically nothing for it and have actually read through it a couple times! I bought this book last year and paid too much but it is a hard book to find in good condition. What do you think. I wish grades were like old Overstreet numbers sometimes becuase I do not think this book is a 8.5 but more like an 8.8! The white lines/stuff at the top is dust on the mylar sleeve. Did not want to put the full size image on there so you have to click the link.

I forgot to say something in regards to the HoS 92... It seems that the grading of golden/silver/early bronze books is way more lenient than modern books. I have seen books in worse shape than the HoS get 9.2, but usually they are hard to find in great condition. Right now there is a Tales of Suspense #52 on ebay for 400 bucks that is PGX'd at 9.2. THere is no way I would have ever graded it at 9.2, just because of the miscut cover. Don't get me wrong, I would pay 400 for the book anyway, becuase it is so hard to find in that good of condition. So CGC away if you want. If you don't like what they give you, cut it open and send it back!!!!!! By the Way, you guys are making me really jealous!

I bought this book last year and paid too much but it is a hard book to find in good condition. What do you think. I wish grades were like old Overstreet numbers sometimes becuase I do not think this book is a 8.5 but more like an 8.8! The white lines/stuff at the top is dust on the mylar sleeve. Did not want to put the full size image on there so you have to click the link. [img]http://capefearlacrosse.org/graphics/Avengers57thumb.jpg[/img][url=http://capefearlacrosse.org/graphics/Avengers57.jpg]Full size Avengers 57[/url] I will put some more on later, but I love seeing those books. Also like hearing the few stories around how the books were aquired![/quote] Very nice book, I give it a 7.5-8.0, that is assuming all those little marks are from teh scanner and not actually on the comic.

I like agreeing with you Oakman but in this case the bottom left corner is to blunt and the top seems to have a little too much chipping for me to give it an 8.0. Also, towards the right on the edge of the comic there appears to be a spot where some of the ink and paper got torn off, almost like there was tape on it and someone ripped it off.

Of course, I cannot see the inside pages so they might be off-white or tan, it's hard to grade by just looking at the cover.

Thanks oakman29. I am somewhat of an "old-schooler" as far as comic collecting is concerned. I collected from mid seventies to early 90's, and haven't bought any since till last week (world war hulk). Prices seem pretty steep for new comics these days. But I am trying to get back in (tough with wife, house, and two kids). Anyway, I can post some more photos if needbe and always good talking to fellow collectors.

By the way, I obviously took a picture of my comics with a digital camera. I don't own a scanner (yet). When i do get a scanner, should I scan them in or out of the plastic bag? Regarding the age of these comics (40 years +), I would hesitate keeping them out of protection for very long, not to mention subjecting them to a scanners light. Cheers!

[b]epcomics[/b], you stopped my heart for a fraction of a second when I scrolled down and saw the top of that iconic cover. Do you have access to a digital camera? I have been having a lot of fun photographing some of my cherished comics with a simple 4-meg camera. I have since started to take them out of the bags for about 30 seconds and shoot them in indirect sunlight which I will post soon. I think they will turn out better than my initial ones. Actually, I am starting to think that it would be a good idea to document important comics for insurance purposes.

Well I don't own a digital camera (I know I probaly sound like a caveman right now) but I do hav a regular camera. I'm going to try taking the pics of my comics and then when I bring them to get developed, have them put on a disc so I can upload them onto my computer. I have already tried this once and it didn't come out that good but I'll give it another shot.

i bought these on ebay, both for 12 bucks with the shipping. what do you guys think? i thought it was a good deal, although it took a month after i paid for them to finally come. thats one of the problems with ebay. i tend to pay right after i win, but sellers tend to wait a week or so just to ship them out. if i pay right away i should get positive feedback right away. i think that its bs that sellers wait to see what you leave them first before they leave you feedback. i 100 percent positive for buyers and sellers so i dont have a problem myself. i usually sell video games and stuff and i state how long it will be before its shipped out (which is usually 2-3 days depending on if the weekend,ect). never any of my comics.

I'm not a fan of restored comics unless they are the"GRAIL" books,such as action#1,AF15,AMAZING SPIDER-MAN#1,Batman #1,detective #27,x-men #1,Showcase#4,avengers#1 etc.I would buy a restored copy of any one of these,and be happier than if it was an un-restored book that had less eye appeal.And that my friend in my opinion(I dont think anyone would challenge)is a definate grail book.

Things have changed with comics since I was a kid/young man, and not for the better in my opinion. I am 40 by the way, and all my comics were bought between the mid 70's and early 90's when I stopped.

I feel the same evilernie,and for any other book or books I would be right there with you on that,but if it was any of the books that I had mentioned in my last post.I would consider restored over un-restored.For one thing the cost of buying a book like an Action Comics#1 un-restored 500 thousand 7.5 grade,restored 65 thousand 7.5grade as per Heritage Auctions.or get a good/poor 1.5 grade universal grade which looks like crap for that same 65k the eye appeal on the 1.5 grade is going to be far less than that of a 7.5 grade book.I guess it's all subjective,we restore cars to make them what they once were.I don't think restoration is good except for those "SPECIAL"books.

[quote=neonshrk]Those spidy books are nice. I have each one in 9.8s. Those look worthy of 9.6s or better![/quote] They should be real close to 10. ASM 300 should be 9.9 if not 10. All pages are white. I bought each of them the day they came out, put them in plastic and in the long box. They have not been out of the bags (and into the light) until I took them out to scan them for these photos.

also Cleafus your amazing spidey #252 has several coler breaks at the spine CGC would give you an 8.5 for that book. the other two books amazing #300 and secret wars #8,#300 & #8 9.6/9.8 only because its so hard to differentiate between the two grades.I think your being too kind on the grade because they are your books! It's hard to seperate yourself and look at a book objectively.but great books regardless

the one on the right has a few spine stresses as well but overall a great example I would'nt go any higher than a 9.0 only because of the spine stress.the first spidey you showed is a newstand(sold at book stores non comic shop) the other is a direct market book (sold in a comic shop)

I sent a number of my "treasures" off because I wanted them to be preserved better, plus it's "cool" to have the grade. In other words I don't really have a feel for CGC as an investment, though I tend towards the thinking that if you want a particular comic at a particular grade you are better off finding it already slabbed, because then you know exactly what you are getting. hope that helps.

When a writer signs their book, is it worth less now? Again, in my opinion, having the "touch" of the artist on their work only makes it more special and unique. P.S. Thank you for the kind words, I only wish more people would show their books.

Welcome aboard [b]annihilus1[/b]! I always thought that [i]Iron Fist[/i] was always a very cool and underappreciated character. It seems to me that in the search for new characters, the power levels naturally keep going up(sort of like [i]Magic[/i] cards) and tends to leave older characters behind, till eventually we will have a universe of godlike heroes. Just me rambling. Again, nice to have you here!

I agree wholeheartedly with you about the older characters. I'm a big fan of the Silver/Bronze eras myself. I can read and enjoy new stuff, but it's much different than in the past. Everything changes, I guess. I can still enjoy the older stuff like I did back in the day at least. Anyhow, some more scans. Up next is a pretty ratty copy of FF 28 (same date as X-men 6). I bought it 20 years ago for $2.00. Can't beat the price! [img]http://www.garyneedles.com/images/comics/FF28.jpg[/img]

It is difficult to come up with a grade given only a cover scan. For example, the Conan #1, is that a staple by his sword in the logo? And, disregarding the interior, the Giant Sized X-Men #1 cover looks uneven, width wise. However, that may just be the scan. Please give more info about interiors.

please grade my book

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 06:49:59 GMT

Iron man #1 white to off white pages house of secrets #92 white to off white pages conan #1 white to off white pages and yes the staple placement is a little off but I don't think that changes the grade of a book? amazing spider-man #33 white to off white pages giant size x-men #1 bone white pages and the scan only is crooked(sorry) this book and the spidey are already graded I just wanted to get your opinions on the grade without knowing the grade. the giant size x-men #1 is also a western penn. pedigree.

[quote=oakman29]CO-STARRING SPIDER-MAN NUFF SAID! On that Avengers #8 is that Kangs first appearance? AWEsome stuff[/quote] First appearance as [b]Kang[/b], Oakman29! Read on! Nathaniel Richards - the man who would become Kang - was born in an alternate timeline. The Earth there had been transformed into a paradise thanks to Mister Fantastic's father, the Nathaniel Richards after whom he was named. However, this younger Nathaniel, a scholar, was restless in this peaceful world, and studied the history of war in his longing for a more savage and driven age. His long-term hospitalization after being severely injured by bullies (and the near-financial ruin of his family as a result) quite probably caused or increased this drive. He discovered time travel technology that one of his ancestors (who may have been Nathaniel Richards[1] or Doctor Doom) had invented. Cover to Avengers #8, Kang's first appearance. Art by Jack Kirby.Kang travelled back in time to ancient Egypt and became the Pharaoh Rama-Tut. He had traveled to the past hoping to find En Sabah Nur, the mutant that would be known as Apocalypse, and control him, yet his actions would only succeed in making En Sabah Nur become Apocalypse. Kang ruled until he was driven off by the time-displaced heroes of the 20th century, including the Fantastic Four and the West Coast Avengers. Following that conflict, he left the past and travelled to a post-apocalyptic 40th century and reinvented himself briefly as the Scarlet Centurion before settling on the identity of Kang the Conqueror. From there he created his interstellar, interdimensional and inter-temporal empire that would not only include Earth, but future versions of the Brotherhood of the Badoon, the Shi'ar Empire, and the dimension of Kosmos. On his first foray into the twentieth century, he was thwarted by the Avengers, and they have remained his enemies ever since, having fought him on dozens of occasions. However, due to the diverging of timelines that was caused by his time travelling technology, multiple and sometimes divergent versions of himself were created. Most of them were eventually eliminated by the Council of Kangs, which were set up by one of the multiple Kangs to rid himself of his counterparts.

years ago for 1 month dc and marvel combined universes during some crossover if i remember correctly Amalgam Comics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Amalgam Comics was a metafictional American comic book publisher, and part of a collaboration between Marvel Comics and DC Comics, in which the two comic book publishers merged their characters to create new ones (e.g., DC Comics' Batman and Marvel's Wolverine became the Amalgam character Dark Claw). These characters first appeared in a series of twelve comic books which were published in 1996, between issues 3 and 4 of the Marvel vs. DC miniseries. A second set (of another twelve comic books) followed a year later.

Hey comic clint those books are beauties In my opinion the x-men is a perfect book NM/NM+ CGC would probably give this book a 9.6/9.8 on the Nick Fury it's very nice I would say 8.0/8.5 VF/VF+ leanig more towards the 8.0 only due to the blunting at the bottom corners but otherwise a very fine example

Hi comic clint on the Daredevil #181 is there a small tear at the bottom spine? if so 9.4/9.6 nm if not and it's just the scan it could get a nm+9.8 on the adventure comics#370 it looks like there is some color breaking on the top right corner and a small piece missing just under the comics code and a few breaks in the spine with all that said it still presents itself well in my opinion this book would get VF-7.0/7.5 regardless it's a beautiful book you have some very nice stuff from what you have presented so far thanx so much for giving us all a chance to see them.

it's a nice book cleafus I just don't know if the top right corner has water damage or it's just the scan otherwise the comic is nice it does'nt have very many color breaks in the spine and maybe that small tear at the bottom left corner. I'll say without water damage 7.0 fine+ with water damage 4.0 VG

Thanks Guys the best part about these books is that I bought them from a guy in San Francisco whos girlfriend said they were taking up space!!!! $250 for approximately 900 comics...... All in HIGH HIGH Grade....... The whole Alan Moore Swamp Thing Run!!! Iron Fist 1-13 Mage Complete series, Grendel, Ronin, Dark Night Returns, Year One, Lots of Detective Comics.........I figured the Swamp Thing Comics alone were worth $950 if my grading was accurate(and by how you guys are responding Theyre right-on!!!!!)......... Her is a couple more!!! There is a huge run of X-men Starting at like 104 it misses an issue here and there but for the most part straight run till about 189 or so !!!!!!!!!!!!!! talk about a score!!! The guy said he was selling them to me for cheap because I was a private collector who does this for a Hobby not a living!!! True Fan HOKIN UP another true fan !!!!!

I'm with hedgeknight on this one vf/vf+ on the conan #2,3,4,7 On the conan #1 the only thing keeping it from a NM/NM+ is the little tiny tear on the bottom at the spine.Knowing that and how well your book presents itself I would say NM- 9.0/9.2 Which for this book is an awesome book to have. CGC cesus has only 129 graded in 9.0 and 119 graded in 9.2 and yours is leaning towards that 9.2

[quote=oakman29]Hi toylad the Iron Man #2 is hot! hot! hot! great book I bought Iron Man #1 at the san diego con and am currently looking for this book (little jealous):-" Due to the small amount of spine stress on an otherwise very hard to find in good shape the only thing is the top of the book is a little bent back over the paper. I would say 7.0/7.5 On Batman it's a great reader, the tear hurts OUCH! Still a treasure to behold. [quote=oakman29] [b]I figured the Ironman about a 7.5 also. I also have #4 I will get posted up a little later. The Batman came as an unexpected surprise in a box I got at auction. Wish the tear wasn't there but neat to have no the less. Your Ironman 1 is super! Love to snag a copy of that.Better hurray before the movie comes out and drives it up even more! Thanks! Bret[/b]

Thanks guys! The Wild Wild West is my all time favorite TV series. There is only 7 issues in the comic book run but they were hard for me to track down in good shape. I remember snagging this issue #1 about 15 years ago at a small local comic show. I have been contemplating getting it as well as the Star Trek graded but I'm a little confused on how to figure out the cost of doing so. Bret

[quote=cleafus]P.S. what's with the [i]Whitman[/i] [b]Action comics[/b]?[/quote] [color=blue][b]This reference should help explain it.If you enjoy a real challenge try putting together a set of the Whitman Comics![/b][/color] In the 1970s, when the comics industry experienced a downswing, Gold Key was among the hardest hit. Its editorial policies had not kept pace with changing times and suffered erosion of its base of sales among children who could now instead watch cartoons and other entertainment on free television. By 1977, all of the company's original series had been cancelled (most had been dropped circa 1973-1974), and its licensed series were virtually all reprint-only, although Gold Key was still able to obtain the rights to publish a comic book series based upon Buck Rogers in the 25th Century between 1979 and 1981. In this period Gold Key experimented with digests, to some success, and distributing comic books simultaneously both on racks at drug stores, super markets and such under the Gold Key label and — usually in plastic bags of three — in toy and department stores, along with newsstands at airports and bus/train stations "as well as other outlets that weren't conducive to conventional comic racks" [1] under the [b]Whitman [/b]logo which it also used for such products as coloring books. Western at one point also distributed bagged comics from its rivals DC Comics and Marvel Comics under the [b]Whitman [/b]logo. President of DC Comics Paul Levitz has stated "The Western program was enormous — even well into the '70s they were taking very large numbers of DC titles for distribution (I recall 50,000+ copies offhand)." [2] Continued declining sales forced Western in 1981 to cease newsstand distribution and thereafter release all its comics solely in bags as [b]"Whitman Comics". [/b]The "Gold Key" logo was discontinued. Eventually arrangements were made to distribute these releases to the nascent national network of comic book stores as part of the Whitman alternate methods of distribution. All these efforts proved ultimately unsuccessful, and by 1984 Western was out of the comic book business.

There's some smudging on the right edge and a pencil mark near the top left, but otherwise I am pretty pleased with it. The Captain Marvel #17 was less than $5.00, listed as Very Good and has creasing all the way down the right side and a tear on the bottom left. I read both of these in Black & White British reprints over 30 years ago and it's just a pleasure to own the originals.[/b] [center][IMG]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd153/pazuzy/vegas2/Cap111001.jpg[/IMG][/center] [center][IMG]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd153/pazuzy/vegas2/CapMarvel17001.jpg[/IMG][/center]

Hi Icarus the capt.America is very hard to see any flaws due to the scan, but if it's graded at as fine that book should have only cost you 25.00/30.00 at most according to Overstreet price guide in fine 6.0 grade.The capt. marvel is just a reader and you paid about right price.But what really matters here is that you are satisfied with your purchase,right.

[quote=oakman29]Natan I don't know anything about the Mac situation,but in that Fantastic Four collection do you have issues #48,49,50? If you do I would like to discuss grade and price!Thanx my friend.[/quote] I wish I could help you, but the only early books I have 18, 37, 87, and i believe 56. Also, i've noticed you like to have your books in high grade....my early ff issues are VG-F's because I used to collect FF only when I found a good deal on an ok silver age issue. the later issues are decent, but FF isn't like my Xmen or AMS runs where i'm going for really high quality. I myself am selling these to get decent looking copies of FF 48, 49, 40, 52, 53, and maybe someday FF 12

Nevermind, I found it on CPG. MINT GRADES MINT+ : 10 (GEM MINT NO DEFECTS) MINT : 9.9 MINT- : 9.8 The Holy Grail of comics. Perfect. No arguments. if it has any defects, its not mint. It's very rare especially in older issues, and very expensive. If you think that you have a book in this condition, look at it again. Some defects are easily overlooked. Only the most subtle bindery or printing defects are allowed. The cover must be flat with no surface wear whatsoever. The cover inks must be bright with super high reflectivity and no fading. Corners are cut square and sharp (This one is usually the creep that does the book in from mint to very fine). Staples are generally centered, clean with no rust at all. The cover must be centered and the interior pages firmly attached. Look at the interior paper, is it supple and fresh (Ah, that good ol' comic smell). And lastly, the spine must be tight and flat.

You got: noticeable crease damage fading "soft" corners Cover roll Can't get a good look at the staples from the scan so those are a mystery until you receive it; as is the interior pages (hope they are still pliable and haven't turned brittle)

Hi Phaetallia welcome to the jungle.On your books can you scan the backs as well? just from the scans I would say the Master of Kung Fu is in the fine/VF range 6.0/7.0 the hulk #200 probably the same fine to vf-/vf 6.0/7.0 the X-Men #10 the introduction of Ka-zar is a cool book but it would probably garner VG/VG+ 4.0/4.5

The problem is that there are two torn pages inside. One tear is less than 1" and the other is about 1". So if it looked like about a 5.5 before what would it be now based on the two longer tears. Should I be upset considering I thought it was about a 4.0 to a 5.0?

please grade my book

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 17:48:30 GMT

Mattmba did the seller disclose the tear issue? I personally don't care as much as others do if the interior is torn a tiny bit,with that said it would probably grade lower than a 5.0 at first thought and would probably grade down to a 4.0/4.5.Are you gonna send it into CGC for grading? it's a perfect candidate.

I measured them and one is only 1/2" and the other is 3/4". Guess they are not really that bad. I got emotional when I sat down to grade it because it really is a nice looking copy overall. So other than the slight spine wear, slight off center cover, and the two inside tear the book really is very nice. I would probably still grade it a VG+ to a VG/FN which is right where I expected it to be anyway. I am asking for a partial refund if I can get it. Not much but I figure that since I also paid $25 for Express shipping and they didn't ship it until a week later I at least should get something for the slow shipping. Doesn't hurt to ask, I guess. Thanks for your objective opinion and I must admit I have a very nice Daredevil collection now. I just picked up about 40 more Daredevils between 40 and 150 with most of them in the VG+ to VF range.

I like touching my books and like the fact that I could see the insides of my book to grade it and view it. But I spent a good amount of money for a comic that does have internal tears whereas if I had bought a CGC copy I would have know somone had already professionally graded it. Of course a graded copy could have tears on it nad I would have never known the difference. SO I might send it in to CGC but it would be my first comic I ever got graded. I have several other good candidates such as Avengers 1, Cap 100, Silver Surfer 4, and other but I just never considered getting them graded. COurse this DD #1 is my most valuable comic based on grade now. I'll see. It would cost me about $50 to get it graded, right? Later Matt

Bunch of obscure 50's, 60's and 70's stuff. Mostly horror and romance.

Sometimes a "worn" book speaks to me as something that has been read hard and loved.[/quote] I'm with you Cleafus. I just think comics were much cooler in the 60's and 70's. A lot of new ground was broken by a new wave of writers and artists. It seemed that stories carried a more 'organic' feel than today's cynical market-driven multi-part company-wide-crossovers of today. Just call me an old fart, but I'm not alone in my beliefs.

Yeah I like the older silver age comics as well, but with my money issues I can't as many as I'd like to get. I'm the kind of guy that goes around to flea markets, yard sales, etc. looking for deals on comics that people had in their attics, basements and garages. Usually they aren't in the best condition, but I usually don't care. Just being able to hold a certain issue in my hand, smell it and read it is such a rush. Lately it's been getting harder and harder to find comics at yard sales because people are actually checking to see if they are worth anything. The problem with that tho is they go by the near mint price for it most of the time and they aren't usaully near mint. I can talk them down to the actually price I would pay for it, but they are very reluctant about it. Have you ever tried to explain to somebody who doesn't understand the comics world about pricing? What a pain in the arse it is.

Hello, i'm new at the board here. Just started using ccl as a database for my comics. Want to start collecting again, but seriously this time. I received this comic from my uncle last year. Could you guys grade it for me. I'm not sure if i'm going to sell or to keep it. (I live in Belgium and don't think that many people have this copy). I don't know much about comics but i can tell you that the pages have yellowed (isn't this normal for a comic nearly 30 years old?). It has no tears but a price label on the front cover. Damn you stupid book store. Here is a scan from the front and backcover.

Light circular pencil mark at Marvel's waistline. some pressure marks where it looks like someone wrote on a piece of paper above this book yet not on it Overall very clean back cover -flattened dog-ear on top left corner. small 1/8 verticle tear on top of back cover. Overall very clean corners - slight blunting gloss - good cover gloss, reflective pages- Light cream and very supple staples- slightly oxidizing, no rust forming binding- small 1/8 chip on bottom of spine, several transverse creases (the worst being near the top and bottom of the staple), no spine roll, tight binding and lays flat [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2358/2358924029_34ff7a98ab_o.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2150/2358924161_3d89aa4b31_o.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2313/2358924165_0db0bfba56_o.jpg[/img]

As always it's very hard to tell from a scan. The last book is probably a VG. There is wear around the staples and creasing. The Marvel Team-Up Annual is cut off center and the top left corner looks blunted, but it still appears to be a VF. If the other books are as nice as they look in the scans then they would be NM. If there are minor flaws that don't show up in the scan then prehaps VF. Still very nice books.=d> =d>

I would like to get the forums opinion on one of my favorite books, (at least in my collection), I know my opinion, pages are off-white, staples are firmly attached and are still nice, everything is still there if you know what I mean, no damage on the interior. Back cover is similar to the front cover in appearance. [IMG]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f309/Khumbu/EC0001.jpg[/IMG]

It's always hard to tell from pictures. It looks like some of the books have a wavy look to them. If this is from the bag then you should have taken them out when you scanned them. If it's from water damage then those books would only grade a good. Other than that most of the books look to be at least VG perhaps as high as FN. One or two might be in the VF range, but it's really hard to say for sure. Still a nice group of books with nice eye appeal.

It's a really solid looking book in person, and wondered how this affect grade. [/quote]If it was a very high grade (VF+ to MT) it would lower the grade slightly. It would probably not receive a grade above 9.2 no matter how nice it is. In the lower/mid grades the only difference is what it does to the cover. Usually a book with staples misplaced will have wear at the staple and it will be more susceptible to staple pulls. In this case that doesn't seem to be a problem, but if the paper quality has started to turn the pulled staple is still quite possible. While the grade on a VG or FN book will be the same the book will be harder to sell. There are many buyers that just won't want the book with the staples that far off center. A good seller if posting without pictures (like on CCL) would mention it in his ad copy. Better to lose a sale than to lose a customer.

I'm surprised no one gave these a go yet. But, I'll give it a shot. F-Troop: Well, you've got tons of creases, big chips missing, hard to say if the cover is completely detached, but probably. If the book is complete, with nothing missing, I'd say Fair, but if it's missing pages or part of the story, then Poor. But still, like you say, not bad for free, and possibly still an ok reading copy. Bilko: Think you can go FR/GD, or GD-, but wether or not it's complete and fully readable makes a difference. Adventure Comics: Ahh, starting to get a little better. I'd say VG+, maybe VG/FN, but, hard to say for sure from just the cover scan. Sometimes the Mid/Lower grades can be tough to pinpoint, thanks for putting these up.

Hey Wolf, nice "Schwinn" book. Looks like there's some small stress creases near top left (but hard to tell in scan), and a very minor dust shadow upper right edge. Corners at bottom slightly rounded, but not bad, all in all, very nice. (is that what you see as well, Wolf?) I'd say at least VF (that's my disclaimer because it's hard to say from just a scan), but could go VF/NM or maybe higher depending on overall condition. Other opinions?

OK, I have a grading question. I just started a "clean out the comics in my closet" store, and I'm working on grading and uploading my collection and I just came to a whole bunch that are beautiful NM, except for one flaw--they don't lay flat. It's not a fold or a crease--there's no color break. Just a bend. How would you rate that? Very-fine, fine, good? I'm not sure. Not that I expect them to be bought for investment, these are just reading copies that I plan to price at $1. But I want the grade I list them at to be reasonably accurate in any case.

Also, when the comic lays flat, how far up does the bend cause the comic to lift. If you could post some pics, that would be helpful. It's just to hard to say; "VF-" or "FN" (just examples, could possibly be better or worse), without knowing the "severity" of the bend, etc.

Yeah, camera's at the pawn shop. Truth is, though, the problem is much more marked in modern-age comics. (Or "Chrome", I guess we're calling it now?) I think it's the Baxter paper--if you stack a box-full of Baxter-paper comics and don't use backers they just seem to collapse under their own weight--and they tend to hold a bend once they acquire it. My stuff from the nineties, lots of it has a bend in the bottom-right-hand corner. Stuff from the 70s and 80s, hardly ever. I think I'm just going to sell (most of) my modern-age stuff to the LCS by the box. Earlier stuff, even when its not perfect, the flaws are easy to judge and grade. Like "this one looks to be in great shape, but uh-oh, there's a small break in the spine. Can't rate that better than Good. We'll call it Good+ since it's in such great shape otherwise." Instead of, "gee, this looks practically Mint, except that the bottom-right-hand corner pops up like I do first thing in the morning. So I'll grade it... uh...????" Thanks for the reply Bovard.

Quick grading question for the experts. Have several Millennium Edition books (DC) with the gold seal on the front of the book. These books also have an indentation on the back cover which is identical to the seal. It appears this may have been done on purpose, as there is actually a white box on the inside back cover just the right size for the 'indented' seal. Does anyone know if these where intended to be ink filled on the inside? In this case, does this indentation on the back cover have any negative affect on the grading?

There is an accumulation of spine stress that is difficult to judge and since spine edge is not shown, grade opinion is a bit conditional, but book looks really nice! (Scans are not the best tool in the world for judging grades. Sometimes, photos taken at an angle to the light will show better detail.)

Thanks for the advice I might use a larger black or white background on my future scans. I would use my camera but i can't seem to get any sort of decent comic pictures with it.

When you get your pictures would love to see them, never saw this title before either.

I think the best you can hope for is Fine. The crease at the bottom right plus the spine wear is to much to approach the VF range. If there is cover wear that doesn't break color and can't be seen in the scan then it might only be a VG, but based on what I can see I would say FN. That was one of my favorite titles when I was a kid. I just might have to dig them out and reread a couple.

Here's my copy of Conan #1. What do you guys think it would grade. It looks a little better then it is. The cover and page one are detached from the lower staple, but the interior is pretty nice, no writing, everything there, centerfold secure. There is a piece of tape on the cover (over the lower staple) about 1/4 of an inch and then wraps around onto the back cover about 3/4 of an inch. In general the back cover is in better condition then the front, so nothing else there. Everything else you can pretty much see in the scan. Whatcha' think?

Evilernie, that's just amazing=p~ ! Not only are they very old (1965?) but they are in the Giant Size format with the glued on covers. those are hard to find in good condition in almost any time because they're so easy to damage. either the staples are coming through the front covers or they're getting creases from having the covers opened. [b]Where the hell do you find books like that in such perfect condition for $5 a piece?[/b]](*,) You've got taste like me. Those are all titles that I've been collecting for the last 6 years.

I'm very happy!:-d I just got this Giant Size Master of Kung Fu collection in the mail. One is in really good condition and another one is really bad, but I didn't pay much so it's OK. The Giant Size Master of Kung Fu #4 is so beautiful. It's in the best condition I've ever seen a Giant Size book. It has beautiful gloss, clean and bright with almost no creases of any kind.... With the exception of one thing... There's a water stain on the front cover. From the front you can't see it much unless you hold it in the light you can see a part that looks a little dull. [img]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/thomas4d4/MasterofKumgFuGiantSize4.jpg[/img] On the inside of the front cover you can see a 2" x 1" stain on the upper left hand side. [img]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/thomas4d4/MasterofKumgFuGiantSize4insidefront.jpg[/img] Otherwise the inside cover is uniformly off white to cream. The other brown spots are not there, they are just a quirk of the scan. If, say, this book were Mint otherwise, how much does the stain bring down the grade to? This is the 2nd book I got. Giant Size Master of Kung Fu #2. I'd say it's in FINE condition. The ink is very bright, and there are reletively few creases or marks not on the spine that don't break the color. There is about 1/4" spine split at the top and bottom of the front cover, and some slight wear near the spine that you can see on the scan. The back cover is very clean and bright but there is a 1/8" tear on the left hand side. [img]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/thomas4d4/MasterofKumgFuGiantSize2.jpg[/img] What do you think it should be graded? Now this is the real disappointment. On the listing I couldn't see the condition of this of coarse, and it was not mentioned in any way in the description, but I got a real good deal on the 3 so over all it was worth it. From the front I would give it a GOOD/VERY GOOD grade. [img]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/thomas4d4/MasterofKumgFuGiantSize1.jpg[/img] But when you turn it over....there is a huge tear that looks like something scratched it real bad and goes through the next 4 pages. [img]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/thomas4d4/MasterofKumgFuGiantSize1backcover.jpg[/img] The cover is still attached well and it has all it's pages. What does a tear like this do to this grade? I'm really curious what you guys think about these, especially #4 and #1. Could you guys let me know what you think?

Your NM w/water stain I would grade at FN, no higher. Your last book would be a VG if not for the tear. The tear would lower it to GD, assuming the pages are still readable. If the tear is the type that prevents parts of the page from being read then it would drop even lower to a FR. As to getting them graded I would say no. I'm not a big fan of grading anyway, but if you're going to get a book graded it should either be a very high grade book that you want to keep that way, or a very low grade Key book that you want to prevent getting worse. For example an Amazing Fantasy 15 that's brittle.

I wouldn't go more than F/VF. The second #122 couldn't be better than VG. Special Marvel Edition #15 looks like it has some significant creases that don't break color. I would give it a F/VF grade.

Books like Doc Savage, Night Nurse, Shanna the she devil, or Marvel horror or romance titles. If you're interested :-c. [/quote] I double checked ASM 121 and I could not see, even with a magnifying glass, any crease at all, same for the item you mentioned about the color breaks. It must be the scanned image because to my eye, this book looks really good; square edges, no creasing, good cover gloss, no spine roll, intrerior pages are supple and white, just no real defects I can see.

The image of #121 looks to perfect and I know how hard it is to find a book like that in NM, unless you pay upwards to $300. So the scan doesn't show any flaws so what are the flaws? If you look in the reflected light can you see any invisible creases or marks (from someone using it to write on, or from mishandling) is there any dirt anywhere? Scuffs acquired from being shuffled in a stack of comics? I think NM should be reserved for those truly great conditioned books with 2 or 3 invisible flaws. I don't give the grade out lightly. I put most great looking books in VF.

That's a beautiful Book=d> , especially for it's age! The worst defect that I can see on this book is the color breaks on the spine. I think with such beautiful corners and so flat with good color I would grade this at least F/VF (it's definitely better than FINE IMO). On the other hand, those color breaks make it hard to be VF. It would be VF- at most IMO. This brings up an interesting point for me. My first thought is that this is a beautiful book. I'd be very proud to have this in my collection, and (this is my point) I feel it's an insult to call this ONLY F/VF. This makes me think that our grading system is too ridged (for older books anyway). Or is it? Should we have a grading system more lenient on older books? I say this only because there are so few nice older books (Golden, Silver, early Copper) whereas there are a plethora of beautiful new books.

Thanks dude. Yeah, the seller had it listed as VF+. Now, from his scan I could tell that it wasn't in VF+ condition, but I was happy with the condition that it was in. Funny thing, there was a copy of this issue listed as NM on ebay a few weeks ago, and it went for $40. Now, I thought that this book looked better than that "NM" one. I payed a good bit less for mine too, so I'm rather happy with it. Sometimes when buying a book its better to actually look at it as opposed to taking the seller's grade as concrete.

Need help with a grade. What do you guys, and gals, think? Other then the Dust Shadow, it's a really solid book. Cover and centerfold are securely attached, no staple rust, nothing missing, no writing. The interior is in excellent condition, and the dust shadow on the front cover doeas not appear anwhere else. Back cover just has some minor shelf wear. There are some very minor stress creases along the spine.

Bovard, what is that shadow that runs on the top and right hand side of the book? I've never seen anything like that before. Also is that run coloration on the spine? That's a great issue! It has some incredible Barry Smith art in it! If I'm not mistaken that is the Ares story arc that culminated in the classic issue 100 also by Smith and Thomas. If that is dirt there are ways to clean it up. Professional restorers would put it in a bath of some solvent. If the book is as good as you say it is this may be something that you might want to look into, but you should look into how much the procedure costs versus it's worth afterward. Also if I'm not mistaken, cleaning a book doesn't count as restoration, but rather as preservation because you aren't adding to the book (ink, paper) and it's relatively hard to detect.

But it looks like there was a stack of comics on top of this book at some point, and then either over a long period of time dust and dirt built up on the exposed edge, staining it. Sometimes you will see a similar effect but caused by sunlight, where you end up with faded line. But, I've never seen one like this before, either. The orange coloration on the left hand side along the spine, I initially thought it was just some coder ink from the print/production process, but can't be positive.

Are there any creases on the spine? Invisible creases? These are ones that you can only see by reflected light on it. They don't break color but they are there. With a book of high grade every little defect counts. So if the only defect is that ink spot than it may pass for NM or VF/NM. Although it looks like there are 2 ink spots from the picture, one above the gun and one in the diamond. I'd give it a VF/NM just to be on the safe side.

I've been thinking about sending a few of my comics off to be graded (CGC, PGX). As I'm new to that part of the collector's world, I'd like some help if I could ask. I have this book and it'd probably be the first I sent off. Here it is, asking for your opinion on grade and such. [img]http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r588/frozila/IMG_0720.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r588/frozila/IMG_0721.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r588/frozila/IMG_0722.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r588/frozila/IMG_0723.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r588/frozila/IMG_0724.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r588/frozila/IMG_0725.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r588/frozila/IMG_0726.jpg[/img]

I would skip PGX, there are too many sham books floating around & you'd get a lot more with CGC if you ever went to sell it. I also recently saw a video on youtube where a guy was suspicious about his TMNT 1 he got back from PGX so he opened it up & recorded it & sure enough they had swapped it with a 3rd print. Heinous bastards! I'll probably wind up cracking most of mine open eventually. As for your Detective, sweet book. I like to grade in-hand so I don't normally contribute here, I do have a lot of CGC's though & if you put a gun to my head I'd say that's a 9.0. At most you'll see 3 or 4 stress marks on a 9.4, looks like you've got 7 or 8 there + a couple rounded corners. I don't see anything that by definition drops it into upper VF. With the white pages I'd expect that to fetch above guide if CGC'd.

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 22:49:08 GMT

You'll have to forgive my total lack of knowledge, but how does one get things to CGC for them to grade? I guess I'm looking to pick the brain of someone like me who has maybe a handful of comics (a dozen or 2) that he'd like to get graded. I've seen their rates but I'm not sure which is the best to go with or which is needed - one says a limit of $300 on the value of the book, which I think maybe the DC#400 would be over? Anyhow, here's one I picked up for a buck. Not great condish, but hey, a buck is a buck. If I were to rate it, it'd be maybe VG+?

Your Detective Comics looks like a solid 8.5 to me, which MIGHT be worth your time. Just remember, you are kind of "injecting" a $20-$25 upcharge on your book when you have it CGC'd. Which means if you decide to sell it, and there are more higher grade examples of this ungraded that people can buy for less, you're probably going to lose money...at least the cost of the grading process. UNLESS the book has particular collectible significance (i.e. 1st appearance of a character, death of a character, crossover, etc..) You really only want to grade comics that you KNOW are going to grade like 9.0 or better if it's an older book, OR if it's a key Golden or Silver age book. For example: I've seen graded copies of Hulk #181 (1st appearance of Wolverine) in 3.0 condition still sell for $300+. That's a pretty good deal. Then again, I've seen modern age books that people thought were key sell for less than the cost of the grade...so it's a real crap shoot. To me, I wouldn't grade the MASTER OF KUNG-FU issue, but I might consider grading the Detective #400 :)

So I think I understand that to qualify to get a book CGC (or make it worth it) that it can be a key issue but good condition or perhaps a REALLY key issue like Amazing Spiderman 129?

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:54:31 GMT

If the book is as well put together as it appears in the images (e.g. lays flat, sharp corners, perfect binding) and it's only that crease then I'd probably call it Very Fine. It looks like there might be some creases in the spine though which might lower the grade a bit. Maybe to a VF- or F/VF. IMHO of course.

please grade my book

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:26:36 GMT

Ok, so I said I'd followup with more info :) I bought it graded as VF. The book overall is in good shape, there may be a 1 or 2 small nick/ding/crease in the spine about halfway down there. However in grading, i was always led to believe that if there was such a significant crease in the front cover like that (1"+ into the cover) that it automatically knocks the grade to at least F. Perhaps I'm a bit too picky/hard on grading as it seems I am after dealing with a few different dealers. As buying a VF book, I would've expected a blunted corner and maybe a few nicks in the spines. I didn't expect such a a huge crease. :(

please grade my book

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:38:02 GMT

A crease that size is normally 6.5 material, although if it were the only flaw I might go 7. VF range (which includes VF-) allows 1/4 inch, although you allow slightly more on 7.5. There are no set guidelines on crease sizes in FVF although my max is generally an inch. Oddly enough, FVF allows a reading crease, always thought that was a bit generous. Going back to that Detective 400, I just cracked open a 9.2 so I could ship it overseas, a Conan 5 so it was about the same age. I gave it a good look & it was in very similar condition, about 7 stress lines, so you might have a 9.2 there.

That would also affect the grade.

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:03:58 GMT

Upon further inspection, there is no crease underneath - contained only to the cover. If not for that crease, only the small nicks that really don't break color, I'd say that it'd be a 9.0/9.2. It has sharp corners and the interior is white. The back has no problems either. So perhaps it could slide as a VF, but if I were grading it, the crease alone would make it at least a 7.0, even if it's only on the cover and not transferred inside. Oh well. I've been milling about on the Det#400 and CGCing it. If it's my only comic at the moment that I want to send..I've never sent anything away for CGC, wouldn't have a clue where to start (other than I know a comic shop about an hour away takes then in).

Techically those chips are the main issue, especially the one on the front corner. Upper VG they're no prob, 5.0 is a likely call. This was actually the first thread I checked out when I first visited the site, I agree it's handy. Slow now I suppose but it's gotten 51 pages of use over the years.

[quote=CrossbowComics]I think you're shorting yourself on that Spidey, with a little help from the bell curve I'd expect that to CGC a 5.5 or a 6. No tears, no real creasing, no staining, it's a solid mid-grade book. [/quote] I would have to respectfully disagree (if you're talking about the ASM #11). Notice all the creasing along the spine, especially towards the middle, even with the Silver Age bump, going to be a stretch to grade that high. Maybe a VG/FN (5.0), but doubt any higher. I would probably say VG+ (4.5). Of course, it's tough to grade looking at a scan, sometimes the sublte creases are hard to see on the screen... Flash #186 FN- (5.5) Flash #165 VF (8.0) (based on what I can see, the pic looks to have slightly cropped the lower portion) Tales to Astonish #91 VG (4.0) Awesome books though, in any grade...

Thanks. I was thinking about a 4.5. There is a slight spine roll and the creases along the spine edge.

Ha, not too often I grade the highest, there goes the Treehouse rep, lol. In all honesty though, a reading crease is allowed up to 7.0 & this book basically has a bunch of reading creases. You put that crease in the middle of the book & suddenly it's a 3.0, I don't understand why Overstreet calls it that way but they do. Anyway, there's a lot of stuff like corner creases, inch-long tears, minor staining that would still be acceptable in VG that's not there so I'm giving the rest of the book some credit. Now the TTA 91, that's a worn book all around, there's really no comparison bewtween that & the Spidey & I'd put that more like a 3.5.

I don't buy an older book that gets an FN because it is older or buy the excuse that since it is old it should get a better grade. If it is Fine, then it is Fine! Not it is VG- it should get a FN because it is over 30 years old. I just bought a bunch of Spidey's 130-183 and I made sure they were graded by what they are by Overstreet standard, not what they are in Overstreet plus a few extra points because some of them were over 30 years old! Not that I would ever CGC a book (I Mylar and Acid-Free board my prized books), but if CGC adjusts/adds points due to age, it is another reason why I think the CGC craze is, well, CRAZY! Not sure if this is urban legend or really happened... heard it at my comic shop by one of the staff.... They have a customer who bought a CGC book that was Golden Age (Can't remember what issue, but is was a key JLA book). They paid good money on eBay for it... when they got it, the case was cracked on the edge and through further investigation, they say it looked open, then resealed... the person opened it to check out the book and found that the book was not the condition that was listed on the case. They complained to ebay but the seller said it was the buyer messing with the book, not them... again, not sure if its true, but it makes me not want to buy a CGC book even more so!

Your point is very valid, I don't personally use a bell curve when grading because it can just lead to confusion (and probably a few neutrals/negatives). What CGC does is adjusts grades toward the "average", so new books are graded on a slightly tigher standard, older books a little looser. The bell curve applies to the time when there weren't bags & boards to protect comics & nicer copies are harder to find, I think the key date is like 1968 or so. Many people prefer raw books for the exact reason you stated. However, on the heavy-duty stuff CGC is pretty much the standard so on a 1964 or 65 book it's a relevant factor, a lot of people would send that Spidey 11 in to be slabbed. If it'll CGC a 5.5, they are the boss, take the money & run I guess.

Not only do you have the top right and lower right creases, there's some sort of stain on the lower left corner and at the top there's what looks to be some bend/crease where someone ran their finger over it roughly. I'd definitely ask the seller about the book's not-nm condition. I'd probably grade it out (with you saying the back is ok and the inside is great) at a Fine+ (wait is that top staple rusted?)

I'm thinking VG/FN, or FN, on both the Flash and Iron Man. I've been scratching my head on these, because at first glance they look higher, but with the Flash there is the page toning that can be seen around the edge of the book, and trying to decide exactly how much that affects the grade is tough. The Iron Man also looks nice, and then you start to notice the few lines here and there that move inwards on the cover (upper right), and the lower right corner crease. Books in FN condition usually will have some wear around the spine and edges. A case could be made for that grade as well. If they were my books I would probably grade them VG/FN. I would like to hear some other opinions on these grades as well, but sometimes the Grade my Book section seems like a ghost town. But, hopefully a few more will chime in.

please grade my book

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:26:01 GMT

I would agree that VG/FN sounds right for the Iron Man due to the bad business going on at the lower corner on the front cover. I think the Flash is much nicer, with the main defects being along the spine. I don't think the page tone is too terrible, but it's hard to tell about the spine creasing from a scan.

please grade my book

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:22:04 GMT

I don't see anything that by definition pushes either book below FN, there's enough general wear I'd probably lean toward lower FN or 5.5. The Flash looks like it might have some spotty tanning on the inside edges of the cover which I'd take a bit off for.

please grade my book

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 18:27:19 GMT

I figured as much. The Iron Man was advertised as VF/NM. The Flash was advertised as F/VF. And today, I received 3 comics, advertised as VF+ and the are AT BEST *F*, with me thinking more like VG/F. I am really REALLY getting fed up with these sellers way overgrading their comics then pleading ignorance when they're confronted with them. TBH I contacted the Iron Man seller and he has offered a form of 'discount'. That's good but really when I buy a book at a certain grade, I'd like to get what I'm buying instead of having to contact them back and haggle for some recompense.

Well the IM gets dropped to 6.5 just based on the creasing alone, a 1 inch crease is acceptable in FVF but not several. Either the seller didn't look at it or made no effort to grade it. FVF is not unreasonable on the Flash but there's at least one small stain & not disclosing it on a book over FN is playing with fire a bit. The crease with a couple small tears on the top edge is a little much for FVF too. Beyond that I'd need to see the inside edges of the cover, sometimes it gets a bit spotty & ugly when you can see some browning around the edges like that. I noticed you don't have any feedbacks from Treehouse, someday you should stop in. The only turn-off for most people is that I don't offer free shipping.

Doug is one of the most strict graders out there, I would also throw The Pack Rats Barn (LadyJay) in the mix, as having very strict grading. And, I consider myself to be pretty tight on grading as well. It's one thing to see a difference of a point or two on a grade, and of course we all can make mistakes from time to time, or just miss something. But when you see someone claiming VF/NM on a FN at best book, that's pretty bad. There are lots of other sellers on CCL who have really good grading skills, the two I mentioned above are just a few of the best, imo.

Thanks for the responses guys! That's my contention Miles - that if I buy something graded VF/NM, I can understand getting a VF book but not F or ever worse. An offer for a percent refund is alright, but just grade it correctly. I think some may be intentionally grading a grade or two high on certain books so people buy them and even if they give them a partial refund they got to sell a low-graded book they'd normally never sell. As far as your ASM 199, I can go by what I can see and it looks to me VF/NM. I'd probably have to see it at certain angels and closer to go above that.

I would concur with errant. Although I would put it at the high end of that scale. That top right corner gives me pause, but certainly isn't any more than a "major crease". That cover seems to have maintained its gloss somewhat despite the slight scuffing. That's a good thing. The interior pages seem pretty tight despite the yellowing and the slight orner foldover. They seem complete. Yeah......VG+ /F-. But much closer to the F- than the VG+. IMHO.

My late two cents puts it at the low end of the spectrum--4.0. Due to corner creases, and the appearance of a pretty loose cover at the staples.

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:01:12 GMT

I didn't notice the loose staples at first but I think Corey is right. Probably more like a 4.0-4.5. There is no way this book would ever grade out in the VF range....ever. A Fine grade is an acceptable discrepency IMO but thats about it.

I'll call attention to the stain on the lower left corner of the back as well. It's not blatantly obvious but when you see it, you can't un-see it. A problem with this scenario is that I'd like to order from the guy again since he has some things I'd liek to get but I just can't trust someone that says that's VF+; had he said "oops that was an oversight, I didn't check the books when they went out" would've been better than to argue with me saying they were VF+. Reiterating, I'd be willing to accept VG/FN but I initially called it as VG+. AHowever I didn't pay attention to the staples that much either, jsut the holes around them l-) it could possibly go as low as VG.

I'll agree with Errant's first guess on the Detective, VG+. The staining probably drops it to VGF all by itself. Minor stains are acceptable in FN, that's a bit more than a minor stain.

About what I'd guessed on the Defenders #1. The top has about a thumb-width scuff that looks as if someone may've brushed thru it, unbagged, while in a box. The reason that I remember where I bought it is that it had the pricetag/name of store still on the bag ($3.25/Coliseum of Comics). Why couldn't I have had more money when i was younger?

These are the front back and first page photos: [img]http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh561/AllAboutComics/2a68b7d2.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh561/AllAboutComics/0a8f6e47.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh561/AllAboutComics/fafbe0ed.jpg[/img]

With that much cover creasing I'd say GD, maybe GD/VG depending on how solid the book is in general.

Yeah I'd say 2.5 assuming everything's there & attached. On tired old books like that I'd check the page #'s in the middle to make sure the centerfold is still there.

It's very hard to grade a book with the edges of the scan cut.You need back cover scans as well as front cover out of the mylar sleeve.

Hey all, just picked this up today. I would say it's in VF condition but for the pen marks (the "D" in the upper corner and the mark on near the bottom center) on the back cover. What say you all?

Looks like a good deal, that book fetches over guide. Being white like that is a pretty huge plus. Some people definitely don't like writing but my Overstreet actually shows pen marks that size up to 9.0. I'd be hesitant to assign a grade without holding it to a light but from this angle it looks more like an 8.5, I'm guessing that's just a little scuff there by the top staple.

I picked this up recently and would like your opinion as best as you can from these scans. The front cover has a couple of chips on the right near the top, minor chipping along the top, some wear marks along the spine near the bottom and some creasing of the spine but otherwise pretty clean with good color. The back cover has a little rust on the top staple, a weird looking dent type of mark along the left side about a quarter way from the bottom but is clean with good color. The interior pages are complete with sharp edges and corners and a light tan in color.

on a NM book I wouldn't knock it down any more than NM- since it was manufactured that way and really doesn't distract from the book in any way. If listing it for sale I would mention it just to be on the safe side but other than that I don't think it's too big of a deal. I've seen many books that were missing a staple (or two) or similar to yours.

Fri, 04 Apr 2014 17:53:46 GMT

Stuff like that technically has zero affect on the grade, even if it was only printed with one staple. Probably a good idea to mention it though, people buying NM books can be fickle & it's safe to mention anything out of the ordinary, might save you a return.

Hi, In the below picture, there is some black spotting. I'm guessing that this is some sort of ink smudge? If a comic is otherwise in NM condition, how much does something like this knock it down? [img]http://i.imgur.com/Vtk5ctH.jpg[/img] Thanks!

Is it an ink smudge from storage (having the front cover rub against a black back cover in front of/on top of it)? If so, I'd put it in the 7.0 to 8.0 range. Probably 8.0 if the rest is Near Mint.

The mice it appears snacked on the back side across about 2 inches of the edge, maybe a half inch into the cover area and some internal pages as deep as half the pages in the book without affecting any of the story reading that I can see. It's not even close to the color blocks containing story content.

I think you are safe at GD (2.0). I would not be dissapointed if I received that book graded as such. Poor/Fair books usually look pretty trashed, which that does not. It seems good allows just about the greatest amount of defects, while still retaining the complete and readable story. Of course, there will always be sublte differences between books causing them to grade up or down... but in this case, GD is probably a safe grade.

Hello everyone, I would like to ask a question. I have two copies of Magnus Robot Fighter Valiant #2. Both books are in identical condition. One has the bound in trading cards, but the coupon has been clipped. The other has all cards plus coupon, but the trading cards/coupon are discolored - off white to brown. Which is the higher grade?
