9.2/9.4

Agreed. 9.2-9.4

Can I see a picture of just the spine please? I need it to give a better grade.

Nice book   Those 2 top corners are the only real issues I see. I'm gonna say 7.5, with that small piece out upper-right back cover and the corner blunting.

I’ll agree and say 7.5-8.0

I’ll go 6.0 - 7.0

With that spine split I think you're looking at the 2.0 range.

Thanks for sharing.

I concur 2.0 maybe 2.5 since it’s still hanging… just waiting… for you to get the scotch tape out. That was a joke 

I concur with you concurrences. 2.0

9.4/9.6

I agree. 9.4 as it sits.

Press for better 9.6 to maybe 9.8.

7.5 - 8.0

Umm...just curious where you see fading on this book???

Unless it is lighting, looks like the bottom right corner area has been subject to fading. Specifically, the buildings like a little lighter than they are supposed to. 
 

If I am wrong, this book is probably 5.5-6.0

Amazing comic. 3.5.

4.5-5.0. The fading takes it down from being any higher imo.

Wow. Just a beautiful comic. I’m not sure what to even grade it. 8.0? 

On the top left, are there any creases or slight bends? Otherwise 9.2-9.4 as is

I was thinking 1.5. It may not be worth getting graded though.

I agree, that stain takes it from a 2.5 to a 1.5 imo.

6.5. If you look at the top of the front cover you begin to see a good amount of color fade. You also have a good amount of spine ticks on the cover.

I finally got the last of my submissions back, alot of these were long time in the collection and somewhat forgotten.

The Batman 189 I felt was 8.0, The Batman 227 I thought was 5ish and The Our Army at war I really thought was a 8.5-9.0. Had a lot of other Marvel books go and most were strict but was pretty happy with these, especially the 189.

 

Congrats on the Batman 189! Was a solid book.

About 7.5/8.0 after that C&P.

Ron Frenz was one of the best ASM artists.

Thanks for sharing.

You read my mind.

7.5-8.0

1.5-1.8 imo.

Hello. Last November I sent in 8 modern books for cleaning/pressing and grading. They were "received" for clean & press forever then a few days ago went (it seemed) immediately to "grading/imaging". So maybe they didn't do the clean & press? I haven't been charged yet for any of it, which is odd. Well anyway, the comics are shipped and a comic that I thought would get a minimum of maybe 7.5 or 8 showed up as a 5.5! Graders notes say "heavy bends to cover". This is the only photo I have of it before I sent it off and I'll post photos of the slab when I get it. Do you think this book was close to a 5.5?

I have had this same question.  I sent in a Swamp Thing 21 that I thought was in relatively good shape and it came back with 5.5 saying there was a crease down the center of the cover.

This is not the right forum for this kind of post but I will still answer it anyways. What do of this happens again is take a few photos of your book before you send it off.
