Stormyrys Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Hi. Noobie here. Just signed up as an associate member. I want to submit this comic but saw the ink smear in the top left. What will that do to my grading? Should I still submit and what about pressing? Much appreciated Edited April 8, 2021 by Stormyrys Smaller pics Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grebal Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Smear looks like production defect, but I'm no expert on this book. Looks 9.4 to me. If points deducted for the smear, I'd estimate 9.2, it's not particularly obtrusive. Stormyrys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Appears to be a production issue so I don't think it will change anything...IMO. 9.4 as is...and due to the potential value of this issue, I personally would have it cleaned/pressed. Might get it to a 9.6, but only just. Welcome to the boards!!! Stormyrys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpoolica Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Manufacturing defect & should not impact grade 9.4 from me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
