  1. 8.5 Some spine tics, blunted corner, and there is something on the RH side along the blue in Spidey's arm. But honestly it's very difficult to grade from the pictures provided due to distortion and glare.
  2. I am of the opinion that the crease on the bottom LH corner of that book is a production flaw and as such would likely or should have little or no bearing on your final grade. I would catagorize this as being similar to the staples on the square bound books that imprint on the front or back covers. This is only my opinion and I think this issue merits further discussion. If you search square bound CGC 9.8 on Heritage there are some expamples of books with the staple imprints that are 9.8 and if you look closely there are some "crimped" spines (although not as "severe" as yours) that are also graded CGC 9.8. Great question! I'll go out on a limb and say 9.6 with an outside chance of 9.8 provided there are no hidden defects not disclosed
  3. Thanks again for the post! Unlike your X-men #116 I think that is a printer crease on Storm's leg and the "circle defect" is print related as well and likley won't effect the grading of the book. 9.2
  4. Thanks for posting. The video is a really nice touch! I assume the print crease above the Sun-God is not a printer crease. 9.0
