sillysophical Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Edited June 10, 2018 by sillysophical Any thoughts on the page color anyone? The Lions Den and MustEatBrains 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustEatBrains Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Wonderful copy! Looks like a 9.4/9.6 to me. I was going to go with a 9.2/9.4 initially but see very little wrong here. Congrats on owning it! sillysophical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillysophical Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thanks - that is my guesstimate too. I inherited my brother's collection of almost 2,000 comics a couple months ago, and am on a crash course to figure things out.

When I zoom in on the front cover pic, it looks like a spine tick that breaks color? I'd give it 8.5/9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 If everyone already saw that and still said 9.2 then I can go with that as there really isn't much else wrong I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even still I have seen several 9.4s with 2-3 CB spine ticks on a 181. Would love the OP to sub this one and see what the grading gods assign.

sillysophical Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 OP here. You have good eyes - there is the tiniest tick there. I took a close look again. It partially breaks color. 24 minutes ago, MustEatBrains said: Would love the OP to sub this one and see what the grading gods assign. All of this inherited collection is raw. This one is definitely worth grading, and probably a few others too. I think we'd regret it if we sell without grading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddly Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 What is going on with the back cover top left corner? Is there some light creasing there? Agreed that it looks like a 9.4/9.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got lucky :-) What is going on with the back cover top left corner? Is there some light creasing there? I took another look, pulled it up from its bag. Don't see any creasing. I agree It does look a little odd on my scan, though. PunisherPunisherPunisher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did your brother own the book? The page color looks OW-White to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you send it in, please report back here with the grade. You might want to consider CGCs prescreen service as well to see if a dry clean and press will help. I'd def considering doing that. This book has been a BA blue chip for a while now and honestly still surprised how much it has gone up. I think you have a nice 7-10k in change with this one.

jcjames Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) 9.2 to 9.4 top left back cover corner looks like a little bend, although a 9.6 wouldn't surprise me - outstanding copy. OWW pages though I see almost no fade in page-color from edge to center of page so it could be WP. Edited June 10, 2018 by jcjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 9.4 could be a 9.6. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Clone Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 On the back cover, the bottom of the red triangle has a pinkish smudge look to it. Is that just the scan? Just making sure it wasn't touched up. Certainly has the look of a 9.2. That single tick on the cover shouldn't hurt it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
