- I picked up a copy of Jonah Hex #1 (1977) from Half Price Books for what I hope was a good price ($12.50). Would it be worth it to get it graded, and if so, what do you think it would be graded?

- I wouldn't bother getting it graded. It looks like a 6.5-7.0 IMO. Not a bad grab though.

- Nice book, but I have to agree with tangledwebs. The weird thing I've noticed about (most) pro-graded books is, that unless they're in the "9.2 or higher" range, they have the same value as their "raw" counterparts. So, unless a book is in EXCELLENT condition, you'll gain nothing from having it graded.
Essentially you'd be paying the fee for having it graded but receive no return on investment. Only reason to grade a book otherwise would just be the reward of seeing your book in a fancy slab, but there's nothing wrong with that, lol.

- Thanks for the tip. I am still considering it, since I did only pay $12.50 for it, it may be worth it in the long run if I ever do decide to sell it.

- I'll have to retract my 1st grade opinion. The second set of pics were much better, The DC logo on the 1st set looked faded and wrinkled and the colors looked dull, so it's in better shape than 1st shown. I'd say 8.0 or possibly better. Nice book! ( I still wouldn't CGC it though )

- I would agree around an 7.5 to 8.0, always remember its the complete book that you need to grade. So what are the pages looking like. Nice book. Remember it is what some one is willing to pay for that makes the grade true.
