Smiley424 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone. Just curious to see your thoughts on this book I just picked up. Bought a collection of Batman Adventures which included the coveted #12. The books were kept loose, no bags or boards, just in a flat stack in a cardboard box. The black smudge in picture #10 (lower right corner of the back cover) is from my camera, not the book. I'm concerned about the spine and the indent/break around the top staple. I think it presents really well and am super happy to have stumbled into a copy for my collection.

BigDaddy1 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 If you can provide pictures without the glare from the light, you will get more responses and a better grade estimation from us! A pressing would help make the book flatter, the book seems to bow a bit along the top and bottom cover. It looks higher grade, but judging from what I see, I'll stick with a 9.0, could be better than what I'm saying. Nice copy you got there!

Smiley424 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Sorry about the glare, I will get better pics and edit my post. I also found a scanner at work, so I think I will bring the book in and scan it. BigDaddy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidpg Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I figured a 9.0 as well. Smiley424 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Don’t know that a press would help much here. 9.0/9.2 at most. Nice one!!! Smiley424 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
