Thuat To Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi everyone! This is my first post on the forums so if I seem like a newbie, I am! I have 5 copies of the Amazing Spider-Man #361 and am looking to submit them to CGC for grading. Below is the first copy I have. Would you also opine on if pressing would be beneficial and if yes, what do you think the improved grade would be? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I'm not seeing any obvious reasons to press. 9.4+ IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foley Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Small stress front cover at the bottom staple, but I'm not sure if it's production related. Even with that, I agree with the 9.4s and also see no obvious reasons to press. You could always have it screened to see if there would be the potential for improvement with a press.

SkOw Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 9.4. Staple issue like one of the other copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuat To Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 I figured since you guys took the time to respond, I will let you know the results. I sent this book, along with 4 other copies, into the Mark Bagley CGC signing in 2020. I had him sign and remarque on all and also had CCS press. 9.8 across the board! grendelbo and timfinz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff2099 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I am shocked that you got a 9.8. I thought that bottom right front cover tear would be an issue. Guess they considered it bindery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they considered it bindery. Maybe I'm blind. What tear are you referring to? All of my copies had a tear on the back, bottom in the red square "New From" area. So I'm assuming that's a print defect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they might be referring to the "staple tear" on the bottom staple, which is common on this book. I believe it is a production flaw same as the "grabber tear" on the back, bottom in the red square "New From" area. Beautiful copies and conragtulations!

Geoff2099 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) That was indeed what I referring to; I didn't realize it was a production defect (but I did say they must have considered it bindery, so CGC must know about this issue).
