Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice

I will not have access to a computer for over a week while I attend to unexpected drama.......sorry people I will not be able to do round 3.................did not know this was going to happen or I would have never signed up.

  Grades submitted.....

Frank Zappa and the Mothers.......Were at the best place around......But some stupid with a Flare Gun......Burned the place to the ground...........

 I have no idea what I'm doing........The stain thing has me confused........I had 7 points on 4 books ....but The Power Girl......the stain....I read an 8.0 has no obvious staining ????   So I thought must be lower because to me it was obvious that it was a stain......but I guess it's not a stain ?  Maybe it is ...I still don't know.....anyways I hear they hammer stains.....so I give it a ....Drum Roll.....6.5    O.M.G......h aha ah aha ha .........O.K.  so now I think a book can have a stain and be a 9.8........so it has to be a bad stain or you just kind of ignore it........O.K.   so I'll  go with that for now until next time i screw something up about stains and learn something different about them again.

 I'm gonna say 9.2 ....  but the way CGC grades now it will come back a... 9.6

  No doubt that was a lot of work........Way to go Superman.................

    Grades Submitted .......

P.S.    .....She said she worked in the morning and started to laugh..........I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath...................

9.0 or so on this one too depending on back cover cleaning

  You've been a great help...Thanks a lot.................

  I think maybe it's just some dirt on the back.

   A few tiny spine stress lines visible in moving light.......On the back maybe a little edge wear ?... in the top right corner area.

  A few very faint spine stress lines visible in moving light......on the back a very faint ...crease \ bend  ?    on the top left corner.

P.S.  Thanks for all thoughts and grades.

8.0

8.5/9.0 maybe c/p'd. IDK what it is, but in the first pic, there's a white line near swampy's head. Seems to be gone in subsequent photos. A hair or something?

That's correct........thanks for your grade......

9.0.... is what I feel but with grading the way it is now I think this would slab at least a 9.2......maybe a press would bring out the crease if that is indeed what it is and it could go a little higher..............

I'm thinking 9.0/9.2 mainly because of that creasing on the front cover. With the yellow artwork it's tough to tell if it's light reflectivity or color break. If it's the latter then the grade may go down into the VF range. 

 

Perhaps an interesting story - the Walking Dead twice got me back into comics. 

I collected from the age of 10 in 1985 until around 1997. I've always been a big horror movie buff and an old school zombie head. In 2003 I heard about the Walking Dead series and picked up the first trade paperback then issue one somewhere at I think cover price. I was back in the game until around 2010 or so. 

I came back to the hobby the third time in 2019 when I heard that the Walking Dead series was ending. I picked up issues 92 and 93 and once again I had the bug. 

Thanks for posting.

   So your gonna turn 50 this year ........Just like .....Wake Of The Flood..... turned 50 ........the other day......Now.... Mars Hotel..... is gonna turn 50....Probably my two favorite Dead  albums.........Our stories of starting and stopping collecting mirror each other................For me it was ...The Death Of Captain America ...which drew me back in.........I also went bonkers over ....The Walking Dead......It started with issue # 150....I was so impressed.........Then I backtracked and filled in the entire collection.......It's one of the great series...

  A couple of tiny color breaking spine stress lines.....There is a small slight crease.... or dent  ??..... in the top of the black.... on the front top left corner...

P.S.  Thanks for all thoughts and grades.

   We have some small  spine stress lines.... some breaking color.....

P.S.   Thanks for all thoughts and grades.

 The line in the blue doesn't show ....maybe nothing....back has some small issues.

    We have a couple spine stress lines with one small color breaking.....One semi large stress line with a slight one above that.....it's hard to see cause it's in the black along the spine. ....In the blue along the spine there is a slight..... crease ?....It's smooth so I don't think it's a scratch ....it's a line....I don't know what it is.

P.S.  Thanks for all grades and thoughts.

 Is there a slight stacking crease somewhat visible from the back

How do the corners look ?

  A few spine stress lines.....a small ding bottom left front corner....a small impact back top right corner....and the back bottom left corner has a small folded piece......not a piece out.

P.S.  Thanks for all thoughts and grades.

   There are a few small non-color breaking spine stress lines.

P.S.   Thanks for all thoughts and grades.

   There is a small... stress line / crease.... under the fat guy's right fingers.

P.S.   Thanks for all thoughts and grades.

Without the missing piece this book is in the FN/VF 7.0 range, however, with the piece missing, IMO (not CGC's)...VG+ 4.5 to VG/FN 5.0

Pieces Missing

VG/FN 5.0 and Up, no missing pieces are allowed

VG 4.0 - As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. 

GD/VG 3.0 - A triangle from 1/4" to 1/2" can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" to 1/4" square is also acceptable.

GD 2.0 - The largest piece allowed missing from the front or back cover is usually a 1/2" triangle or a 1/4" square,

FR/GD 1.5 - . Up to 1/10 of the back cover may be missing.

   I want to thank you for all your help.............

  It's not overspray........
