    This book was posted on other platforms with numerous people between 5.0-7.0 and even a ceiling of 8.5 with c/p just wanted to know your thoughts I’ve provided an additional pic of the dog ear that runs through two interior pages.

    Not a grader but just stopping in to say this is a pretty looking book. Nice one
  3. Bmattioli86
    Just wondering if they smack the Bronze Age books a little more compared to silver
  4. Bmattioli86
    Hi all, ideally this book would need a c/p. The bottom right has a tiny dog ear that doesn’t appear to break color. thanks to all in advance!
  5. Bmattioli86
    Thank ya

    Hey all, nice condition copy here. Didn’t see anything else worth noting aside from the soft corner on the bottom left. thanks to all in advance!
  7. Bmattioli86
    Thanks for clarifying. Makes sense in what you gave it initially. I’ll keep it at my FN grade
  8. Bmattioli86
    Thanks for your insight. Do you mind explaining a little further how you determined your grade? Mainly interested on if surface scratching/blunted corners would effect it significantly
  9. Bmattioli86
    I’m sure you wish this was already subbed.. with the time it’s going to take c/p and sending it off it’s gonna be awhile unfortunatly

    Hey all, Color breaking ticks (pretty visible in top middle by Deadpool’s right knee) surface scratches, soft blunted corners. taking a shot in the dark at 5.0-6.5 but want more seasoned opinions. thanks to all in advance!
  11. Bmattioli86
    Thanks for the input. The presser I use isn’t cheap by any means, so if it wasn’t going to come out completely I probably won’t bother with it. Just love the cover. This one wasn’t a subber by any means to begin with.

    Hi all, this is a rough book.. as you can see. Mainly interested in seeing if the big stain on the front cover would come off with a c/p there’s also various areas of staining on the interior. Staples are intact, but rusty. appreciate all the input!
  13. Bmattioli86
    I had this book at the same grade 9.0-9.2 (was not me who decided on the grade) thanks guys!
  14. Bmattioli86
    Those greens are beautiful! Notorious for fading… I would just put it in a Mylar and enjoy it 😊
  15. Bmattioli86
    I’m going to guess a 9.2-9.5 on this definitely work subbing though!
  16. Bmattioli86
    Hi all, Some color breaking spine ticks, soft corners and color rubs? I’ll let more skilled eyes give me their thoughts. inside is good. thanks in advance!
  17. Bmattioli86
    Thank you. 7 3/4x 10 1/2 is exactly what I have on my list
  18. Bmattioli86
    Probably not. From my research I think the mylites 2.0 are what I’m going to go with. Just wasn’t sure how they fit with silver/Bronze Age books. I don’t like my books really tight. I have mostly lower mid grade books so they have a lot of issues. Thanks for your input though!
  19. Bmattioli86
    As the title says, just looking for extra insight on what Mylar sleeves I should use. I see multiple people mentioning mylites and I am wondering if that is my best method to giving my mid grade copies of silver age/Bronze Age books pop
  20. Bmattioli86
    Only way to go!!
  21. Bmattioli86
    I appreciate your vast knowledge as usual. If you want me to be quite honest, I have no plans to grade this book. I’ve never graded one. I just like to get a base line grade for all of my raw books and you all are much more knowledgeable than me at guessing grades. whatever looks pretty in a Mylar is good enough for me!
  22. Bmattioli86
    Understood. Do you have it at a 4.0 after a good c/p? The presser I plan to do gives it what’s called an “aqueous bath”
  23. Bmattioli86
    Hello all, pretty rough example here. There is significant water damage throughout most of the book (bottom left to right) and top staple is detached from center fold. book has not had a c/p but will be sent in soon. thanks to all in advance!
  24. Bmattioli86
    So with a good c/p this book has no shot at higher than a 6.0?
  25. Bmattioli86
    Second glance I noticed the stain. Thanks for pointing this out. I think it will look fine raw in a Mylar for PC but won’t send to presser due to the color breaking lines and other things that won’t press out.
