What would this do to the grade? 2 2

[Eric Perry]

I believe this Daredevil #50 to be faded by direct sunlight.  Even though the ink reflects light quite well, the reds have turned orange.

There is a price-sticker sized portion of the front cover, near the upper right corner, which has colors that seem far less affected.  This is easiest to spot between the I and L in Daredevil.

The back cover looks normal, with regard to red ink appearing as it should.  21st Century Epic Collection included to show an example of unaffected red ink.

How much would CGC downgrade a 5.5 or so copy for this much fading?

I've no idea what CGC would do but if it were my book I'd price it as a 4.0 and hope for the best.

The fading, while noticeable, isn't too severe. That top staple looks a little shaky, however. Based on what I see, I do think 4.5 - 5.0 is a reasonable grade...

4.0/4.5 range. With respect, not worth your $$ to submit.

5.0 fading affects the appearance of the book but this quality of fading will be nearly negligible to the grade
