RyanP1121 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I don’t need a grade for the whole book, but just curious how much you think that nasty spine tick on the upper left might lower the grade on its own? And would a press help this at all? Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 This is a common problem I've seen with this book. I had a poly-bagged copy as well and graded a 7.0 because of too many spine tics and creases. A press won't help much here because of the color break. It will grade below a 9.0...maybe below an 8.0. IMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys_Collector Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) It'll downgrade it by 7 full grade points making it a negative 3.4 Edited August 12, 2020 by Keys_Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regret buy my UF4 while still in the polybag, but I was new to the whole grading thing. It was a kick in the you-know-what, but a valuable lesson learned. Good luck!!!

Qualified meaning green label? I have heard I can request a blue label and the autograph will just lower the grade but i think I would prefer the higher grade with a green label. At the very least it would be unique, I haven’t seen any green labels of the book on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like books signed before I buy them, but the one I got was a freebie so I sent it in to CGC. I wanted to send it back, but the store wouldn't let me.

I got the two copies of Ultimate Fallout 4 on a ridiculously low price at a comic show last summer and I do wish the cleaner book wasn’t signed for grading purposes, but still a great purchase and probably my best “score” ever.

Hoping to send it in soon, at this point its worth grading regardless of being a bit flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to press this no matter if you think it is the only flaw or not (unless it has been pressed already). The Polybag was brutal to this issue. Some that sent in without any spine damage and didn't press came back in the 8.0-8.5 range and lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely press, it has the back cover crease from the poly bag but I do think it will press out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back cover crease on mine pressed out completely. It was left in the poly from release until roughly a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
