8.5 orPLOD 9.2 Edges do look trimmed.

[Arty]

VF+ 8.5

 

Right edge looks really weird if it's not trimmed.

Well let's see..first off it's a Marvel comic, so It automaticly gets a 1.5 higher grade than a DC would get....I say its a perfect 9.4 NM marvel(or 7.5 DC) .

Hopefully you got a 9.0, if it's a 9.4 that's nicely overgraded IMO.

What is the deal on the spine - from the edge to about 1/4 inch or so is a different color thing going on. Is it maybe the edge of the insert paper?

[Elvis]

Supapimp was right. This book was not trimmed, just an underwrap. It was misbound during the print process. The staples are on the back cover 1/4 inch in, but the comic "center" is a bit off. Hence about 1/4 inch on the right is showing the interior of the book.

What's the grade?

Well I still cant believe it but its a 7.0. They told me there is a fingerprint on it but i did not see it before i sent it in and i still cant find it. They told me to look in the white by DD and Spideys feet. Maybe they saw it with the UV. I dont know. It broke my heart.

Wow, I would've been okay with an 8.5 on that..but 7.0 just seems...off..is the overflash torn at any of those marks along the bottom?

 

Brian

[cicamen]

I thought it was a 8.5-9.0 also. Do they really mark off that much for a fingerprint?

Very very light break in 1 or 2 of them. I really was stunned. The good news is that i bought this book in 1989 for $25 but it still stung to get a 7.0.

[murph0]

Well if there's slight "tears" in the overflash I could see this being a VF-VF+ but 7.0 is pretty low. Must be one mighty bad fingerprint. Can you get the scanner to pick it up? How's the back cover look?

 

Brian

[PovertyRow]

Well I still cant believe it but its a 7.0.

 

That certainly sounds low low low. I wonder if CGC may have screwed up the grader notes or cinfused another copy? I would consider resubmitting for verification or whatever that process is called. No way that book is a 7 based on the goodly scan.
