Ouch, the bottom of that book took quite a beating on both corners!

Does anyone care to weigh in on the Veronica # 28? I can see by the statistics that most people graded the book 9.4 - 9.6. I can accept that I am way off in my grade of 8.0 if anyone can justify why a book that appears to have a 1/2" corner crease top right BC, 1/4" corner crease bottom left BC as well as a handful of color breaking spine ticks could acheive such superior grades?

Are people saying that because these defects only slightly break color they aren't actually there?

I'll weigh in!

I don't see the 1/2" crease you are referring to. It may be an issue with the way the image appears on your screen. I see only one small spine tic non-colour breaking LRHS, slight blunted corners or bindery tears of the spine top and bottom and the small crease on the bottom LCBC (appears to be slight colour breaking). I had the book at 9.6 but what I thought was dirt or smudges on the front cover below the UPC code knocked it down a grade for me to 9.4. I know this caught the eye of some other board members as well.

I think the book presents beautifully.

Grades are in!

9.4 I think your Wolverine #1 has nicer corners than this book which is why I have it at the same grade as the Wolverine #1

Wow that is harsh!
