I'll level with everyone that I've never submitted before.  Recently came into a few issues that I need a second set of eyes on, this being the top of the list.  I'll keep it to one a day at most.  For now I'm planning on keeping this issue.  I do have three CGC slabs (9.2, 9.4, 9.8), and the differences in the condition just on those three boggle my mind.

So the top 1/2 to 1/3 of the spine is warn, right? With color loss? Or is that glare from the flash? 

I'm going to call it a 9.0 

I can't see any other blemishes besides the spine, but it looks like enough color loss to keep it from grading higher. 

Thank you very much for the reply KCOComics!!!  This is why I need a second set of eyes.  The spin wear seems fairly typical for the era, I've got similar on a few that were released in the last month.  Here are some edge photos.  The contrast between the black front cover and the white back cover is making it tough to get representative photos.

9.0 mostly due to corners
