Please Grade This ASM #365--Looks really sharp, but we all know

[JammnIT]

That looks may prove disceiving, but in this case they aren't. The only noticable item that I caught while getting ready to scan was a bumped corner UFLC.

 

Thanks

looks like a tear in the top left corner. 9.4

[KingOfRulers]

9.6. You can reattach that corner with just a little spit on the finger; works everytime

I know I am going to get hammered for this, but I think CGC will put an 8.5 to it. There are spine breaks and , of course, the tear. CGC will hammer modern books for this.

[fable]

I think the tear will knock this book too - as well as at least one prominent spine crease. Maybe a 9.

[Tomega]

It looks almost like a little bit of a spine roll as well.

[JammnIT]

I have looked and examined and gotten 2nd. and 3rd. opinions on this book and Spine roll was never an issue. I must just be going blind, but I honestly do not see the spine breaks or the spine roll, but of course I have this book in possession and a scan is a far cry from holding the book in your hands...

 

Thanks for the heads up..

Various edges for your perusal

[KingOfRulers]

Yeah...........that's no longer a 9.6. Those are some wicked wrinkles.

I doubt those are on the book. They are likely from the book being moved around slightly during the scanning process.

I couldn't have said it better myself.. That is exactly what it is... Ya had me questioning my eyesight again.....

 

I am seriously considering slabbing this book...

 

Thanks for the input guys..

I am seriously considering slabbing this book...

 

At some point we're going to mail you a NM comic just so you have something to submit.

 

Who wants to start a collection?

[JammnIT]

I had given my previous response in error...I would never have considered the above for slabbing.

 

When I get my 3 submissions to CGC back, we can compare our grading via Scans (I know, not the real thing to grade by), to the Actual CGC grade returned. Almost everyone has seen scans of some of my comics, perhaps we are hitting the grading mark closer than we give ourselves credit. Agreed, I would rather have the book in my hands to assess, but for a quick cursory inspection, the scan may prove closer than we think, or as mentioned before, it may amplify errors to the naked eye.

 

Either way, I would never turn a free NM comic down to start a "Serious" collection with...

 

Thanks
