I think you’re gonna get a 4.0

9 plus. I am seeing a little light soiling. That’s probably gonna hold you back from the grades you are wanting.

I’m gonna say 4.0. I am unsure about the pin holes tho. Could be way off on this

I’m at 6.0 nothing in the pics that is visible to indicate color touch. The back of the front cover will show it usually because the ink often bleeds through.

4.5 too I like how the Brazilians put their own touch on it by giving Iron man the red and yellow armor long before Marvel introduced it

I’m gonna say 6.0 cutting a little slack for the black cover that notoriously looks worse otherwise. As far as date stamps no affect at all generally except if it’s smeared.. then it’s subjective.. see books graded in the 9 pluses with date stamps as routine. I actually really like them as well especially if neatly placed .. its like a badge of honor.. It’s impressive to see a book with “June 1954” on the cover - you know it’s been on a journey. It enhances my willingness to purchase. But that is just personal preference

I will say at 5.0 as well. If the centerfold was detached completely maybe different. But it appears to be firmly attached at the top

9.0 after a Brazilian

6.0

I’m at 8.0

3.0

As is 7.5. I think a press is gonna give you good results .. how much remains to be seen.

4.5 looks like Gorbachev … those scuffs could drop you down to a 4.0 tho (gonna hold to 4.5)

Solid 4.0 to 4.5

I think a 3.0 is reasonable.. I don’t think it’s much of a factor on a lower grade book

7.0

4.0 the ragged bottom edge keeps me from a higher grade

*pulls slide rule from case* ……..………7.0 ….. soiling

My thoughts exactly .. dependent on how much that bc can get cleaned up 6.5 as is

8.0

Unfortunately yeah depending on the extent of that stain 5.5 at best

7.5 as is.

8.5

I’d say it’s a 6.0 .. looks like some kind of indentations on the cover. Maybe an optical illusion - You have a good selection of photos for the book, the more the better. I generally like a pic of the centerfold so I can see how well it’s attached and the condition of the staples if I’m buying.

3.0
