Hi everyone! New to the forum. After numerous years of being out of the comic book game, I've found myself sucked back into my childhood hobby. Long story short, I was going through my old collection and would like to get an answer to a burning question I've had for decades. How bad does the black check mark on my Amazing Spider-man #6 affect the grade/value?

(The dark areas on the back cover on the left are actually shadows, and there is a 1/4-1/2 inch rip in the back cover that might not be evident in the picture.)

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Marking generally put the comics in the 4.0 grading area - but also depends on other factors. Also depends on how nice the interior pages are, spine, etc. With rip you are looking a t 4.0

Cool book anyway. Just old enough you night think about getting cleaned and tear fixed professionally. Send directly to me so I can assess better!

Hi, I have an "Amazing Spider-Man" #113 that I would say is in FINE condition (a few snaps in the spine, spine is a tiny bit worn), but some idiot punched a hole in the cover page at the top in the "G" in "MARVEL COMICS GROUP" with a hole punch.

Also, I have a #105 that's in better shape, but some idiot wrote on the back cover at the top, in cursive, "bought in 1971".

How much do these things lower the value?


The hole punch in the cover is treated like a "piece out" or a "cut out" that's roughly the same size... ~3-5mm. That's in the F/VF (7.0) range. Maybe a 7.5 (VF-).
The same goes for the writing on back. It's in pen, and scribbled all over the back cover. *Just* the date, like "2/3/71" would be better than "Bought in", but it's on the back so I'd say a 7.5 or an 8.0 (VF- or VF).
That's what grade THOSE DEFECTS are in. If the comic's overall appearance is MUCH better than 7.5/8.0, then bump it up a little.
If it has other defects that make it worse... then those will hurt it.]]> Wed, 12 Apr 2017 14:53:04 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6781 Message from dtessmer1

Good idea on the scanner. I'll look into getting one.

Note: Pictures from a camera are nice, but scans are awesome. We love scans. You can get a new All-In-One Printer/Scanner for $50.

Opinion: Even with that marker mark and b/c tear, I'd say get it CBCS graded. It's an ASM #6.]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2017 11:40:58 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6781 Message from alanguitarguy
