  1. It's like someone stuck it in a book press, or under under something heavy. Even with the weird pressing, I still think this gets to at least a 5.0 because of how clean the edges and corners are. I'd bet purple label though.
  2. Appreciate the thoughts. I have some optimism that the back cover will clean and press well.
  3. I'm on team 6.5. It's just so much cleaner than the Silver Surfer #4 5.5 I just got back and would be an 8 I were king of the world. But since I'm not, and the CGC hammers stains I think it's going to really hold the grade down. Hopefully the stain being on the back allows for a little more upside than the 6.0 that they hit me with on this book due to staining.
  4. Grader Notes light fade to cover moderate creasing to cover very light spine splits to cover very light tears to cover
  5. It’s almost like the whole outer edge was cut by a dull blade. Still, a beautiful book. 8.5/9.0
  6. Grader must have really hated the readers crease. Still, feels harsh to me.
  7. Any help is appreciated! Edit: more photos added now that I have it in hand
  8. I think you're at 8.5-9.0. I own a 7.5 of this book, and yours looks significantly better than mine.

  10. I feel your pain. I have a beautiful book with a stain like yours (front cover though) that's over a darker section so it's really hard to see. Came back a 6.0. Don't know if I'll ever get over it.
  11. I think they'll crush you on the stains. 3.0-3.5 as is, 3.5-4.0 with a good press and clean
  12. Looks like a contender to me. Can’t really tell but is there a little bit of spine roll?
  13. Feels like removing the added staples is the way to go then. It's a real shame, because it's a nice copy otherwise.
  14. 9.4 with upside looks super clean edit - maybe I'm even being too conservative. great book
  15. Are the original staples still there? Looks like it from the back but I can't tell.
  16. I’m in the 7.0-7.5 range, but I don’t feel confident about it at all. The spine is nicer than I’d expect, but the top edge has me concerned.
