Zordar Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Front looks good, it's mainly the back cover with problems. Thats a 1/4" tear in last pic. Edited March 6, 2021 by Zordar Results in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 is there color loss over the UPC or is that flash from a camera? The BC ledge looks rough. The rip and a few color breaking spine tics, 8.0 seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be pretty happy with an 8.0, but I think that tear and crease might hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetPreacher Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Would this book benefit from a press? I see a few minor spine bends near the staple, and the back cover corner is all curlred up, but it seems these are things that a press could dramatically improve? And the creases on the front cover don't appear to break colour either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHorse337 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think is a 8.5 because of that misplaced staple and back tear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zordar Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Right on! LCS did a quick press, but it wasn't completely flat. Still happy with the grade. FoggyNelson and Deadpoolica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Thurgood Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 They really hammered the grade over that back cover. Looks much better than a 7.0. It also looks like your LCS did not do a great job with the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHASEnBLUE Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 For this comic a multi-step press would be worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
