Would love to go to an American comic con one day but then that might put me off ever going to a British one again. Have any of you been to a British and American one?

Just got back from comic Con in Birmingham UK. A little bit gutted I saw a fella haggling to buy Iron Man number one and this Avengers 57. I have this avengers CGC 4.5 but this looks a much higher grade. dealer said he would grade at about an 8.0 I have had a quick look and would say about a 6.5/7.0 The other fella purchased the Iron Man 1 and I was really hoping he wouldn't so I could have both. He got it for £160.00 I got this for £165.00. Both were priced at £200 each so got a good deal off. Found out the guy that purchased the Iron Man was another dealer (with a stall at the con) and he wouldn't budge from £250.00 and he knows, I know, how much he got it for. Though it was still probably worth around that mark I couldn't bring myself to buy it off him knowing how much he paid for it. 5 seconds earlier and I could have had it. Saw other copies for £200 but not as high a grade as what he got. Will send this off one day to get graded. How many grades will they knock off for the price stamp?
Good day out. Got my son a Punisher 1 comic signed with COA from DF for his birthday so he will be super pleased with that.

My thought on price stamp is it wouldn’t make much of a difference in that grade. It is in a good area of the cover, not distracting from over all look. If you think it is 8.0, it shouldn’t go lower than a 7.5. But of course I’m not a professional grader.
Congrats on the buy, looks sharp!

The dealer said about an 8.0 but I thought about 7.0 because of the stamp. The Iron Man was in pretty much the same kind of condition.

That's a great looking book for 1968 and the first Vision. Nice pick up
