Robot Man Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Can you guys take a look at this one and tell me what you think. Obviously it has writing in the upper left corner. There is also a small bend in the upper right corner of the back cover. The miss wrapped spine has always bugged me. I don’t know how CGC figures that in. It is a bindery flaw but should it grade the same as a similar copy with nice alignment? I don’t think so. I know the sigs wern’t witnessed by CGC and don’t really care. Would I get a grade devaluation because of them? Thanks in advance for your help! Link to post Share on other sites
ADAMANTIUM Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 .... I'm not sure that I'm qualified to answer all your questions, but I want to give my guesses Great Book BTW!! I'm at 8.5/or 9.0 with a press.... I don't think they'll count off for the sigs inside the book, as they're clean and not messy or really any bleed through with the "pen" the upper left front looks like pencil, but not sure how to handle that, if it is pencil: less of a deduction that "ink" for writing on cover Should at least get blue label, I couldn't give this an "8.0" it's too nice, but 8.5 is more likely, with a press, I'm not sure if it will "help" due to flaws that are present that the press won't take care of (writing etc) I think it's an AWESOME BOOK! and my hat's off to you! @Robot Man Robot Man 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Math Teacher Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 My guess is 8.0. CGC won't worry too much about the bad wrap and the writing on the cover and first page. Joe Robot Man 1 Link to post Share on other sites

frozentundraguy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 My first reaction was 8.0 to 8.5. I'm gravitating towards 8.5. Nice book. Link to post Share on other sites

Comicdey Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 8.5 was my first blush grade before scrolling through responses but the back cover looks to have a spine ding. Still. I had one with a similar pen arrival date that got an 8.5 years ago Link to post Share on other sites
