8.5-9.0 with the color-breaking spine ticks. I had an Avengers Annual with mysterious tiny yellow blobs of ink along the spine. Nothing that looked or felt like wear, but had no idea if it was from the printing process. Also no clue whether or not CGC would ignore the "defect" when it came time to assign a grade.

I'll second that as a 5.5 with the accumulation of wear around the edges

GRADE IS IN!! PGM ASM 1 1.8 Should I Crack This??
FSQIV replied to Snowdon's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
1.8 seems a bit harsh for how the book presents. 3.0 would be great but who knows what a regrade could bring? -
Going 1.0 since the Guide says up to 1/4 of the cover can be missing and your interior looks decent, relatively speaking. I wonder if CGC would refuse to encapsulate it, given its fragility.

2024 Grading Contest Spring Edition Season 3 (#10) signup thread
FSQIV replied to CGC Mike's topic in Comics General
What? Something else to take my attention away from doing my taxes right now? I'm there, dude. OK, time to get back to cleaning out the cracks between every floor board in the house, then it's on to taxes for sure! -
Great to know, and thanks for the input.

I appreciate your review and thoughts on a grade. Paying special attention at mid-spine and lower-spine, I don't know if this is wear or an ink printing error. For what it's worth, it doesn't feel like physical wear. Also a quirk that there are purple printer blocks throughout the interior pages of the book...maybe that's typical with this issue? Thank you.

I gave Revealing Romances a 5.0 and Farmer's Daughter a 4.0, so I was close. For me, the RR cover had really nice eye appeal. Sure, the edges were worn and there were spine ticks, but there didn't seem to be much in the way of creasing. FD's eye appeal sucked...creasing all over the cover. Creasing where I'm wondering how/why a crease would form where it did. Also, I thought I saw more pronounced color fading on the FD cover than on the RR cover.

Thanks. Always value your input.

Thanks for taking a look and providing your thoughts. Crunch at the top of the spine, color-breaking tick in the "M" and bindery tear is my guess at bottom of spine. Not sure a press to take out any waviness and flatten the crunch will really result in an appreciable boost in grade.

PGM- Avengers #58 2nd appearance of Vision!
FSQIV replied to Jasgut's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I'm close; maybe a bit lower...5.5-6.0. -
Creases that break color put it at a 7.5-8.0?
