But given the comic, I thought i'd best also get a second opinion concerning both. I've taken as many photos as I can without over handling the comic. So any honest feedback would be greatly appreciated. There is no rips on the inside pages, only the covers, staples and pages are all intact and aren't rusted. Pages are off-white. If more photos are needed, let me know. I've tried to post the photos as large as I can. Thanks for your time. Last edited April 23, 2015 1:13:52 am

LOL! Looks like he might just be sitting on a gold mine! I would really like to see photos of the complete front and back covers, and one complete inside page would be good as well. Given what I can see I'm going to guess it might come in as a Very Good 4.0 or something like that, which I would bet is still worth a very pretty penny. Just remember I am by no means a professional grader or anything like that. Tenzil

It's basically worthless so I hope he didn't pay much for it. Last edited April 23, 2015 10:25:55 pm
Tenzil Wise Beyond the Years Location: Vancouver Posts: 1078 My Collection	Posted: April 24, 2015 2:05:26 am Now I'm just confused. Like I said, I'm the farthest thing from a professional grader and I probably estimated too high but where is the cover removed? Loose, certainly and with some damage along the spine to be sure. What am I missing here? Tenzil

They have a different cover and when it's removed you see the whole book basically in reprint. The measurements are a key give away.

L0ngB0x Grasshopper lifetime member Location: NJ Posts: 131 My Collection	Posted: April 24, 2015 7:45:51 am a missing cover would make it an incomplete comic so ...... 0.5 " alt="Image" title="Image" /> " alt="Image" title="Image" /> " alt="Image" title="Image" />" alt="Image" title="Image" />
