PGM - Batman #238 100 pages - TOUGHEST to grade 0

[JollyComics]

I have Batman #238  CGC 9.0 White Pages. The back cover has two thin ink smear lines and white spotty line along the spine until it ends at Colossal Boy's shirt on the black background. It has very tiny tear at the bottom spine that also has a slight impact. It has 100 pages and is common to have a tear at either spine corner.

Only 15 higher than my CGC copy.  The cover looks dirty. It is my scanner. Please grade this raw copy. Thanks for your invaluable inputs.

i never could grade square bound books very good , they do seem to get a higher grade than i would have guessed and i think they are the easiest book to press for a higher grade ??

wow i have to think yours is at least an 8.0 ??

Maybe at least 8.0. It won't go beyond my graded copy which is more appealed and looks nicer.

Ohhh. You are a tough dude but thanks for your honest grade. Wait will tell when CGC gives the grade.

7.5 to 8.0, good luck

That tear on the bottom spine will almost always get you into the VF range, even if the rest of the book is beautiful. I think 8.0 is the best you could hope for...nice copy.

I would say 7.5 because of that corner, but the rest of the book looks so nice I think you have an 8.0

The defects present are minor- I can't even see the "ink smears."

I'm going to be original and say 8.5!

Those are on my CGC copy.  This raw copy doesn't have one.
