I used to own the Okajima copy of that book. Should've kept that one.

 

Now that would be a book to have!

 

Not to make you feel worse about selling it! :D

too late

 

I still own the scan. :banana:

I'm afraid that only makes it worse. Take my advice, my friend, and try to forget her and move on. :sorry:

One of my favorite Schomburg war covers.

 

For those keeping score at home, this book was previously a CBCS 7.0 OW-W. :tonofbricks:

it looks more like a 7.0 than a 5.0 - hidden flaws?

Not really. Grader's notes indicate a number of small flaws. Apparently, CBCS interpreted those flaws as a 7.0 and CGC as a 5.0. Nothing there that would indicate the CBCS graders overlooked something.

 

But, yeah, it is a very strong 5.0 to my eye.

Great looking book. :applause: It reminds me of Exciting Comics # 30 , just switch out Fighting Yank for Black Terror. That Okajima copy is killer also. (worship)

Without seeing a BC scan, I can't really say with any certainty but that book looks much better than a very strong 5.0 to me.

 

What do the graders' notes say?

 

I see absolutely no reason why that book would grade out at a 5.0.

Here they be:

 

multiple crease right top of front cover

small tear center of staple

small, multiple tear top of front cover

tear top of back cover

tear with crease right top of front cover

 

Nothing much going on on the back cover. Just looks like a difference of opinion over what grade a book with these flaws should receive.

This is a great looking book. Definitely more 7.0 than 5.0...

People love to rip on Voldy as overgraders but frankly this book looks better than 5.0 - much better, and from the scan (never the same as in hand) I would split the diff and call it a nice fine. No? :)

That is one heck of a nice 5 to me Tony. Hard to tell from a scan though.

 

It does seem nicer than a 5.0 to me as well. Not planning on selling it, so the grade is not crucial. I do try to migrate CBCS books that I pick up over to CGC holders when I get the chance. Normally, the grades have come back lower.

I'm curious to see if that continues after their supposed tightening up of their grading. hm
