ned Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Amazing Spider-Man #129 lays flat, nice gloss, healthy spine with both staples attached to cover and centerfold. Several minor issues like staple stress, slightly blunted corners, and reader's edge front cover about 1/3 way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Black box there is a color break beside the exclamation point and a little bit of a dark smudge out at the edge. Below the smudge, there is a bend that goes down into the light blue where there is a scuff which removes some color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi Ned, it's rather hard to see the defects but your description is helpful. I think it's around 7.0/7.5. Maybe too low. ned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 That smudge on the right edge bothers me the most. I think it's a minimal 7.0 and could see it as high as 8.0 . Are you getting it pressed ? It may help that top right corner. ned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yes, this looks like a pretty nice book with only light wear visible. That slight miswrap to the spine doesn't bother me much, and my feeling is this book would land firmly in the Very Fine area. ned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone wants to buy it and I may have a chance to upgrade so I was just trying to come up with a fair assessment. Bomber-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
