Grade is in: Avengers 4 0

[gadzukes]

Really nice looking copy.  Flat, glossy.  Has 1 major flaw, a 1-1/2" spine split at the bottom.  Inside pages are tight and gorgeous.  It's also not pressed but has a few spine dimples that could be pressed out.

The red mark at bottom of back cover is overspray from the distributor.

What is that on the bottom  inside front cover? I hope that's not marker bleed thru.

That's the split at the bottom of the spine

Damn nice copy! Too bad about the split. I’m gunna say in the 4.5-5.0 range because of the split. A press/clean might help it go to a 5.5.

I was thinking 4.5-5.0 myself.  But it'll present like a 6.0-6.5 which is nice

[colossus is awesome!]

wow that's unfortified! I'd day 4.5 with the split. 

looks like a solid 6.5 if that was not there.

Great looking book!

4.5 (VG+)

4.0-5.0. I dont know what they will do with the split. PLEASE dont press this book. It looks great with the white cover.

I have a book like this. Came back 4.0. Here’s hoping you get a notch or two above!

I agree about the press. Smashing the spine on a book with a significant spine split usually looks horrible. The current plumpness of the spine masks the spine split. Spine splits have a tendency to get worse from handling and pressing. In all probability, pressing to remove a couple 'dimples' probably won't matter in the grade anyway.

Thanks Bob, that makes sense.

4.5 - I love the blinding whiteness! 

[sacentaur]

Nice 4.5

[Spawn1709]

Nice book! 4.0 for me.

4.0 Methinks but 3.5 on a bad day. The spine split is rough.

All of you undergraded on this one..... it's coming back as a 5.5 woohoo!

I did decide to press so that might have helped a little.

That's great, congrats!

I would have said 4.5ish with the group, but the covers look super vibrant and fresh. That certainly deserves a bump.

Congrats Gadzukes, like point Five I would have been at the 4.5 but in the words of CGC's own grading scale.... but that does apply up to a 7.0!

5.5  A slightly above-average collectible with a major defect and some smaller defects, or a significant accumulation of small defects.
