| Just got this back from press. I wont be keeping this book, as its not quite as high of a grade as I thought it could be. The problem I have is whether or not to slab and sell, or just sell raw. I'm not very good in determining grades 7.5 -4.0, I think if its under 5 there's no point slabbing,so am very interested in other's opinions here. Also, a shout out to CFP comics for doing a great job pressing this book! There were severe bends throughout the book and it was previously pressed badly by an amateur. CBCS Slab cost: $81 shipped Recent sales data: Raw: $620 Very nice looking book (nm) but a 3" tear on the centerfold $426 nice book few spine tics but filthy with rusty staples and needs press badly $358 several spine tics, some pressable bends 1/2" spine split $302 beautiful book with few spine tics white pages but a 1" vertical tear in the bottom middle of the book that goes all the way through each page Slab: 9.0 $3,585 7.0 $896 6.0 $795 6.0 $525 4.5 $207 4.0$255 2.5 $149         |

| It's around 6.0, maybe better (looking at it on my phone) but those stains might hold it back a bit . . . | ||

| I'd say a 5, but I'd slab it. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by slq955 Thanks. I was hoping for 7+ and would have kept it then, but I just dont see it breaking 6.5. Maybe I'm wrong though. Or maybe its a 4.0 lol IDK |

| It doesn't have creases on the cover and the spine looks decent, so it's definitely better than 4.0+, but since I can't play with it in my grubby little paws I can't readily see any other issues (fingerprints, loss of gloss, almost color breaks, etc). If I saw it online I'd bid on it as if it were 6.0 and hope for better | ||

| No fingerprints, very glossy, color breaks only on the back of the spine where it is white | ||

| What I'd do is send it in with a 5.0 grade screen and select Raw Grade if it fails screen. | ||

| Not a bat idea, but if it goes lower than 5 it'll toe the line at $250. Not sure how tight they will be on that. Probably the best plan at this point though  |

| I like @DarthLego idea. That is still a nice book and desirable. I sold one raw that was beat to hell for $150 a year ago. | ||

| I'd set the screen to whatever grade breaks $250 just to be safe. | ||

| @shrewbeer - there's a 5.5 graded copy of this in this weekends Heritage Auctions. You might want to look at the scans of that copy and see what the winning bid goes for. | ||
