What would you knock off a grade for a page missing at the back. Well half the page as a coupon was cut out of it. Not the very back page but near the back. I would send a picture in but still bidding on it on Ebay.

It would be major downgrade for me. I don't know how to quantify it but I wouldn't buy be except if it gives me access to a top dollar issue I couldn't reach otherwise.

Aye, not sure what to pay for it at the mo. Will see how the auction runs for a couple of days.

I would not grade any book with a page missing above .5.

This is the item number if you want to have a look. 183001306295

He's got it as good/very good though the front cover looks quite battered too. Gone above what I wanted to pay anyway. Adverts missing from a book don't really bother me as long as the main pages are intact. Front/back page and story. Is .5 a poor Ox?

I mark mine down to 2.0 or less if a coupon is cut out.

Blimey it's gone up to £94.00 ($128.50) I don't think people have read the listing properly. Unless they're like me and not too bothered about a coupon being cut out. Though the front cover doesn't look too good IMO. Have you guys had a look at it?

I agree that the front cover is worn. I’m with kds-comics, a grade of 2.0 or less. I would not bid on it at that price with the cut out. If that doesn’t bother you, bid away, good luck.

I looked in my overstreet grading book and oxbladder is right with a grade of .5 with that big of a cut out.

What would the grade be if a crucial page was missing? I would have bid if it was a lot lower than what it went for.

Same as the book you are looking for, .5 grade. Incomplete I believe.

Ah right, so same grade because it's the incomplete bit that knocks the grade all the way down? Never seen it like that before. Suppose because it has gone and will never be the same as when it was first printed.

Thanks for the clarification.

I might be wrong, just my opinion of grade. No matter what it is incomplete.

An incomplete book doesn't interest me at all.
.5 sounds right.
