WPPJames Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 That's a nice book. 7.0 to 8.0? But I'm admittedly a very novice grader. My questions would be: 1) How much of a factor the $0.10 stamp on cover? Seems like the higher grade book the more this is a negative. And this otherwise looks very high grade. 2) Staples (top one mainly) seems to be a bit off center. Not on spine. Does that matter at all? Considered a "defect" or just normal printing variation? I currently have this exact same book out to CGC for grading/slabbing. So opinions on this are of definite interest to me as well. I wish I had photos available I could post as comparison between our two books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 7.0 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Rob Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hard to tell, but is there a corner crease about an inch in size at the bottom right corner of the front cover? If so, I'm going with a 7.0. Really nice book!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krismusic Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I would stay at 7.0 as there are a few spine ticks and bends on the spin BC. a clean might help the BC not to sure about the stamp but at a 7.0 I don't think it will play much of a factor. I think it really affects near the 8-9 range. and a corner crease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Spider-Woman Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 My initial thought was maybe as high as 8.0 but after reading everyone else's comments I agree it's probably closer to a 7.0. A very nice book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPPJames Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Mine I sent to Lone Star Comics / Mycomicshop.com on consignment. They set the grade as a 5.0. I requested they send in to CGC. Very curious to see how the CGC grade comes back compared to their initial grade. Will post results. If it ever comes back. Going on 10 weeks now.
