I can see the barest hint of a crease through the logo, but it doesn't break color and doesn't seem to travel too far. Is there another significant flaw I'm missing? Just imagine owning that book, submitting it, and getting back a 5.5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Steve Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wow, I'm thankful the worst you can get is -1 points. I completely blew it on that Human Torch. I feel good that I had positive points in this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I was at 7.0 for both books. At least I got one bullseye. kav and thirdgreenham 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently it can't be too bad. What did you think it would grade at Andy? 6.5 kav and greggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started out around 7.0 for both books, but I kept dropping the Venus the more I looked at it. Couldn't decide if that was a hole in the cover or a surface flake near the top staple. I wonder if the issue happened in encapsulation, i.e. the book was graded a bit higher before that piece was askew. (Andy?) I actually didn't remember that flake, but didn't take scans prior to sending it in. 1950's war comics and greggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was quite a big crease down through the M and O and into the Torch himself. That was the major contributor to my grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azkaban Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Had the Venus at 7.0 and the Torch at 7.0 also, thought Andy was pulling the old double again I saw the crease thru the middle also had a couple of creases in the bottom right hand corner but after what we've seen I thought it would be a 7.0 and that I would be off on the Venus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcjames Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) I had Torch at a 7.0 also. The grader must have been molested by a dust-shadow as a child to punish that book that much. Edited August 20, 2017 by jcjames comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
