Hi all. I have a beautiful copy of ASM #14 first appearance of Green Goblin. There is no chipping, the gloss is fantastic, and the colors are exceptional. However, it unfortunately has three holes punched on the left side of the book. It was clearly intentional, and my guess is that the previous owner filed it away in a binder for safe keeping, seeing that the rest of the comic is in such good shape. How can a defect like this effect the grade of the book? I'm guessing that if it wasn't for the holes, it would be between and 7.0 and an 8.5 It also has a faint ink stamp on the cover that reads acquired in 1964. Could that mean anything? Thanks, Harrison Probably, at best, the book would be a 1.0-2.0. I lean towards 1.0. That's serious damage, it affects the entire book, and it's permanent without restoration. Sounds like a great candidate for restoration. The stamp says "acquired in 1964"? Yes. That's why I think it could be a file copy? Do you really think a comic that looks so nice and presents so well could come back so low?
