  1. This book was looking great until the spine split! I'm thinking 5.0
  2. As you posted more pictures the grade kept on getting lower. This was one well read book! 4.0
  3. Its not trimmed it is just cut differently. As far as the grade when held up to the light at different angles are there any staining to the cover front or back? I had one come back with water stains/spotting which is hard to see but on closer inspection is visible.
  4. Have an otherwise perfect copy except for a tear on the back cover. How will it affect the grade?
  5. Definitely needs a clean and press for a grade of 8.5 to 9.0. Does it still have the marvel value stamp?
  6. I'm thinking 9.4 at least. Hoping for higher after the cleaning and pressing. Will post it once its all said and done! Wish me luck.
  7. 8.5 because of the spine ticks minor but the bottom left corner is suspect
  8. I have one that is similar and it came back 9.2. On the front on the top of the door, is that a manufacturing defect crease. Mine had that as well.
  9. Just bought this baby! Front looks great and the Back needs a pressing and a cleaning. What do you think with all that done? Crossing my fingers!
  10. Front looks clean and the back needs a good clean. What is going on the back left edge by the Word Monogram in black? Is that a tear or a fold of some sort? I give it a 9.2 at least with a press and a clean possibly a 9.6
  11. Not always the case! I recently purchased a PGX 6.0 FF#48 and it came back CGC3.5! Had a tear on the inside pages with some tape!
  12. I am amazed that the ASM 9 got the 8.5 with those bends in the comic. Pressing it will make it look better but I don't know if it would improve the grade. Doesn't hurt to try if you have money to burn. You can only hope to get maybe a 9.0 but I think it stays the same.
