Got the first appearance of gambit for $1 which I know was a steal. It’s pretty beat up and I’m still learning how to grade. Thoughts on the grade?my guess is maybe a 3.0 |

If everything that looks pressable at a quick glance actually is ... you may be able to make it a 5.0. | ||

It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious. | GAC private msg quote post Address this user | |
It a modern book so CBCS/CGC will grade a little harder than older books. | ||

Have CBCS press it. It will be done properly and present much nicer. (Although it will delay your books grading) | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by BigeCBCS pressing is top notch. It will definitely improve with a press. With all the color breaks and some stains; I think 4.0 after press possible 4.5-5.0 depending on interior and how much pressable. Nice $1 grab! |

For a more modern book that is widely available in much higher grades, I don't know why anybody would waste any time, effort or money on a book with that much wear and tear. Then again, in this current sellers market there's likely a fool out there somewhere. | ||

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. | flanders private msg quote post Address this user | |
That seems like a reasonable grade if you're going to sell it raw. I wouldn't put any money into having it pressed and cleaned or slabbed. Since you got it for such a good deal I would sell it and use that money towards buying a better copy. | ||

It looks like it's in the 3.0/4.0 range, which are selling for around $50. So I say you did real good (and it's a Newsstand Edition too). If you did decide to clean, press, and grade it, you could probably get around $100 for it (but if you take out your costs to do that, and include your shipping costs both ways, you might as well sell it raw for $50 - IMO). | ||
