Theres a large tear from the top of the cover down to the bottom staple, but its still attached

The lettering on the book looks wayyy to close to the edge to me, but its hard to tell when comparing it to google image.

Also, just read the book and I had no idea the entire story was just a "what if?". Talk about a serious fake out.

Found this on Facebook marketplace for $50. Feels like a steal. 1st silver age Cheetah

Let me first clarify what I mean by "normal". Ive seen dozens of guys on YouTube who will submit hundreds if not thosands of books a year to CGC; Literally anything and everything in hopes of getting a 9.8 to flip. This just doesnt seem economically feasible for your average joe, 9-5 wagie (like myself).

I'm considering get my first books graded, but not because I'm looking to sell them in the near future. In fact, I'm planning on leaving them to my children, but would like to make it easier for them when and if they ever decide to sell them, assuming theres still a market for comics.

I attached some examples of 4 categories of comics I have in my collection to see whats worth grading based on my estimation vs ROI. I know I'm most likely way off my est, but I'd like to hear some opinions. I'll explain.

A: "Low grade" Grail books. These are your obvious grail issues: Showcase 22, Avengers 1, JIM 83, ect. Graded between 0.5-3.5

B: "Mid grade" Major keys. 1st appeances, 1st issues, ect. Graded between 4.0-6.5

C: "High grade" Minor keys. 1st cover, 1st solo, ect. Graded betwen 7.0-9.8

D: Golden Age books. Any grade.

I hope what I wrote makes sense and appreciate any advice or feedback from more knowledgeable redditors. Like I said, Ive never graded a book before and could use the help.

Easily the most expensive book in my collection, but still think I was able to get it for a pretty good deal (2k).
