| Hey everyone, I was wondering what you thought the maximum grade this book could get. I am not quite as experienced in grading books of this nature. Also, if I were to slab it would you recommend pressing it? I don't usually bother pressing a book unless it will increase the grade. My gut feeling is that in this instance pressing it would not increase the grade, but I would like to hear your opinion. The back cover is detached, but the front cover is still attached. The book is complete. Thanks!            |

| I always thought 1.0 for detached, split covers. But I've seen a 2.0, and the book didn't look as nice as yours, so . . . No Clue At All. | ||

 How do I know this? Because I've done it myself.

| Thinking 2.0. The color really pops but that detached cover kills the grade. Could be lower grade even, and I don't think it can be pressed. | ||

| Overstreet says: 1.0 "Spine split can extend up to 2/3 the length of the book" 0.5 "can have extremely ragged spine or a complete, book-length split" CBCS says: 1.0 to 1.5 "The spine and/or cover may be completely split." Despite the fact that the rest of the book looks pretty nice, it seems like it may be capped at 1.5. Pressing probably serves no purpose because the rest of the book already looks nicer than a 1.5 to me. |

| Im thinking 1.5, maybe even 1.8. This is the exact kind of book I like to buy, regardless of how low the grade is it’s gonna present really nicely. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by QuaBrot Dunno, I think 1.0 or 1.5 is reasonable for that FF. But it does pose the question of whether books like it should be taped (neatly along the length of the interior FC and BC along spine)....maybe it would've hit 2.0 with "tape on interior" on the universal label? For this Batman, I'd have to think that given the chance of getting slammed with a .5 vs the likely odds of getting a 1.8-2.0 if the BC was raped along the length of the interior at the spine....it SHOULD be taped. Would still get a blue label, as well....just a note on the label wrt the tape. That said, I'd press the book before taking it and subbing it....9r, send it to a presser who can do a good job of doing so. Bet it gets a 2.0 if taped and pressed. Roll of the dice otherwise as that Famous Funnies I posted a couple weeks back is an outlier...most split cover books get stuck with a .5. Kinda relevant.... I've noticed CGC in particular, hammers books with remainders/title logo stripped books as .5 and IMCOMPLETE, on the blue label. Saw a mid 40's Key Timely PCH book like that, it would have been around a 5.0, if not for the cut out logo. |
