I note that 50 cents has offered one of the above as 1st prize in his contest.  I have a coupla copies of this issue & wonder what sort of shape they're in.  Obviously, most (all?) of you guys on this list know a lot more about grading quality than I do with all the minutiae of various differences, etc.  It's easy to see that my copy 1 is better than copy 2 because the latter has some creases near the spine that the 1st one doesn't, plus its staples are rather out of place, you might say.  But I'd be curious how these 2 would be graded, maybe in the 6 to 8.5 range?  Any comments appreciated.

You usually need a front and back for grading minimum, but from the fronts I would say there are too many spine creases for a 8.5, but close maybe a 8.0/7.5 the other I would agree is about a 6.0 grade.

OK, that's good to know.  Thanx for the input.

They look to be F, I don't grade on the number system BS.

But aren't they basically the same thing anyway tho?  I mean, like, 6 = F, 7 = F/VF, 8 = VF, etc., etc.  So what's the diff.?  But I gotta disagree with ya on both bein' Fine cuz the first one's definitely a lot better than the 2nd one, so I'd go with 50 Cents' VF & F for those.
