Looks like staple rust. That's going to knock it down hard.

Possibly a 5 or 6. The staple rust will hurt, inside the C there are some pencil markings, some spine ticks that break color,blunted corners. Top right corner crease. Just my opinion. Im not a grader still learning. There will benothers who know more than I do that will give a better opinion.

Thanks all for your input...based on that I guess it,s worth
around $250.00.

Based on 250.00, if you go to sell it expect halt or a little more. I'm thinkin 175.00

That is a nice copy, very clean aside from the staple. Take high res photos as you have and I think you will do well on eBay. TFTC have been fetching high prices there for a while now.

It looks like a 6.5 to me, accounting for the slight rust on the staples.

I'd say $500 is more than a fair offer.

I was at 6.5 before noting the light rust. Probably still 6.5 or maybe 6

Not to be rude, but your statement is indicitive of a subpar ability to accurately grade books.

You are not considering the overall grade of this particular book.Add in the fact it is very light rust with very little to no migration at all to the paper itself.

6.0 to 6.5 is my estimated grade, based on the images posted in this thread.

7 bills for an EC with above average eye appeal and what looks like a book that likely would come back with "OFF WHITE Pages", does not seem crazy to me.

The last EC I had, was a Shock Suspenstories 12 (junkie cover) CGC 3.5 with OW Pages.

I got $379 or $389 (+ USPS Priority Shipping) for the book via a eBay BIN.

That $379 (or $389, cant remember offhand) was a GPA high for the grade.The buyer gave me a positive feedback on eBay when he got the book and I believe that was a fair price, as well.

I'm truly surprised at the possible value of issue #24...
only wish I had bought #20 off the newsstand instead of from
the box of remained copies.
