Run26912 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Surprisingly no color breaking spine ticks, but discovered some creases on the bottom front right cover that barely break color. Picked up this copy of Nova #1 for a mid-grade price but thinking has a shot at high grade 9.0 or higher? Am I delusional? Thanks in advance all!

Greg Ciraulo Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Nice, I'm at an 8.5 from these pics. With a press I can see a 9.0 though.

theCapraAegagrus Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 8.0-8.5 IMO. Dino-Mutt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 "barely break colour" Thing is they do though. A press may help but I would be surprised if this came back 9.0 or higher. There is enough spine wear and light fading to the top edge in the black, along with the noticeable creases to have this sit around a 7.0 currently. A press may see 7.5-8.0 out of it, if all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Rob Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'm thinking 7.0. Those creases on the front cover will really hurt. Still a great key! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run26912 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Thanks Rob. I was so impressed with the lack of color breaking spine ticks then got smoked by the color breaking creases when the comic arrived. That's Ebay for you... doh.
