I'm super new to the world of grading comics so I could use a little help. I spent a bunch of hours researching over the past few weeks, but I still get completely thrown off by seemingly little things that are actually big deals or vice versa.

Before I send anything off to get graded, I want to get some general opinions on a couple of the comics I'm considering sending, if that's alright with you all. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the boards!!!

Spine roll, misaligned cover/staples, staple rust, rust migration from bottom staple, a few noticeable spine tics...overall a decent copy though.  I’ll go 6.0 after a clean/press. (thumbsu

Guessing a 6.0, but it presents as a 7.5 (darn rusty staples!)

Yeah, it’s the migration on the bottom staple that soured me.  Then again, I don’t work for CGC...might be different once they are done with it.  (thumbsu
