Wait until you're six pages behind...

you’re a busy man .. what can you say.. thanks to you we are getting all of April's on page one. Prob find a couple more I missed 

I don’t know how I missed this .. I remember it but I didn’t post .. its 6.0 to 6.5 but I think in my opinion the top corner abrasion is gonna make this a 6.0

Thanks Februus.  I think that is right.  My brother decided to collect comics in in the early 90's, and after a few years he just quit. I don't think these books were ever opened.  They would be perfect, except my brother died in 2011, and I unfortunately shipped the boxes across the country.  The damage is probably due to the shipping because these comics have been essentially undisturbed for 25 to 30 years.  

And I’m very sorry about your bro. I’m sure he would be glad you have his comics. A lot of us went nuts in the 90s and we were buying everything. Unfortunately some of the books from this time period are in great condition but the content left a lot to be desired. A lot of it ended up in the dollar bins at shows and comic shops but a lot of really good collectible and valuable stuff came out too. You will have to figure out what’s what. Your books look great but lower your expectations on 90s material if you are looking to sell it 

Most of these books you are posting are unread copies or read once. All look to me to be between 9.0 or better 

4.5 to 5.0 has that crease across the front but still not bad 

This is either a 3.5 or a 4.0. I will go with 4.0 

4.0

I'm getting behind. I had to go 3 pages back for books & posts I wanted to contribute to.

Listening to old Art Bell and grading. Fun combination.

7.0 to 7.5 *cover inspiration* 

6.5 to 7.0 sounds good 

6.5 conservatively 

7.5 final answer

  What is that line on the front spine area ? Is it a fold over ? Is it a crease ?   Do you see any problems with the book ?

Looks like some kind of indentations. Bc too I’m at 9.0 tho

-will be coming soon!

9.0 plus. Like a lot of us somebody got swept up in that 90’s comic craze. 

9.0 is reasonable 

5.0 … longshot 5.5 

I’m gonna say 8.5 on this. Tiny bit of soiling and a tiny corner issue … I think you get a bump on this 

Damn 7.5 here too

9.0/9.2

I believe it. That backboard is crazy. I've been throwing out a lot like them recently as I rebag and board some of my long-held runs.

Thanks for posting.

Same .. it’s just the ink absorbing into the buffered side of the board. He used the right side tho 

7.5 here press prob won’t do much grade wise in my opinion tho 

I agree. 3.5. Looked like a great copy before it got soaked. Stuff happens tho…. 

5.5 max 

2.5 imo the risk of trying to slightly improve this outweighs the reward. Get it encapsulated to protect it from further degradation and handling. Enjoy it!

7.5 I feel like it should be a little higher. Black cover and not seeing many flaws respectively. There is some line (non color breaking) across the top by Amazing. Can’t tell what that is, If it can be pressed out or what.. if it’s indented in the cover.
