GRADE IS IN - Special Marvel Edition 15 0

[gadzukes]

Comic has a little crimp at the top left.  I had the comic pressed and the crimp looks better (it flattened out) but the crimp creases is still visible front and back.

I see one other spine tic, otherwise that's it.

I'm sending this in to CGC today.

tbh 7.5

8.0 maybe 8.5 depending on how much the back cover crimp breaks the color or not

+1 My first impression. Usually the one I go with.

I was in the 8-8.5 camp until I saw the crease front cover top edge, now I’m in the 7.5 camp...

[ROBTOTHEC]

Good shot at 8.0 IMHO

8.0

8.0 IMO.

8.0 all day long on this bronze age classic!!

You also have a little wear along the top edge of the front cover.  Still, I'm going higher than the others with a solid 8.5....and a slight chance at 9.0  Really nice book!

I’m also in the 8.0-8.5 camp. Even with that small crease

It's coming back as a 7.5.

Seems like whoever graded your lot is a pretty tough grader...

Bummer, I'd have guessed 8.0.  Usually when I'm wrong I guess low.

Brutal. Looks like an 8.0, at worst.

CGC 7.5

 looks 8.0 but still a nice key 

[gadzukes]

I checked the graders notes:

"light crunch left top of whole book through book breaks color"

I've never heard the grading phrase "Light Crunch".  I called it a "little crimp", they call it a "light crunch".  Whatever it is, it cost me an 8.0 grade.
