Kelgio82 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Picked this guy up recently. Has some really filthy stain spots on the bottom front not sure what that is. Some sun tanning on the left side of cover. And there is some chipping on the top of the cover. Let me know what you guys think. How good a grade are we guessing before I send her in? I plan on pressing as well. Hopefully, that doesn't make the chipping worse. Thanks in advance! Galen130 and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilskip Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 As it is, I would say 3.0. But I'm a harsh grader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for a term that slots between gross and train wreck, and icky fits nicely! I’m totally stealing that for my descriptive toolbox. Unfortunately, eye appeal is significantly diminished due to the stains... 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 People are too mean. I mean I hate stains as much as the next guy but I don't find these on here that bad. Not like a huge stain that covers 1/8th of the entire cover....much worse. Anyyywaaayyy I think it is nice than some 3.0's I have seen but I don't believe it hits 4.0 because of those stains so 3.5 seems the right grade to settle on.

Is it possible to remove some of the stains ( like the spots on the bottom) with a clean and press service? I have no clue of these things so any advice is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give it a 3.5. I personally don't mind buying a lower grade comic because it gives me a chance to decide if I want to buy a higher quality book at a later time and I can always resale it once I upgrade.
