Collector IowaDad81 private msg quote post Address this user
I think this is my only Silver Age book, and I'm really bad at estimating grades. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking at those comic books for sale, too. Claims to have Captain America and Human Torch from 1939 to 1949. I'll take those, thanks.

3.5-4.0. Would benefit some from a press, but not sure I’d spend the money on it. Not considered a key issue.

With the spine ticks the folds the staples the missing pieces on the cover my best guess is a 2.0 at best

@cesidio
Can't say I agree with that. The #74 is clearly in much better shape than my poor, crunchy AS-M #1 with its rusty staples and scribbly cover. Also nicer than my Crime SuspenStories #20 with a cover that's barely holding on, big creases, and an unattractive colour rub.

unless you have personal connection to the issue. not worth getting graded. even after press. comic is not a key issue. no debut, no major appearance or event. only thing going for it is the age of the comic. if it was in much better condition. yeah but that is super rough

3.5...or 3.0 if you wanna be a real stickler.

If selling raw, I'd list it as:

Book Grades:
GD/VG 3.0 Or BETTER
OFF-WHITE To WHITE Pages

It's likely a 3.5 from CGC or CBCS.
