    letters page seems quite dirty. this is a big book and i wouldn't want to attempt to grade it without a clean, and your first image is not a scan, so...
  2. Q.N.S.
    second copy around 6.5
  3. Q.N.S.
    6.0
  4. Q.N.S.
    7.5-8.0 has some deeper flaws than 8.5 peers generally. https://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/search.asp?FocusedOnly=1&where=auctions&title=spiderman+8.5&ItemType=CB

    7.0 is high range for oxidation. There's too much of it to guarantee a 7.0, in my opinion a dip to 6.5 is possible.
  6. Q.N.S.
    Clean and press 5.0
  7. Q.N.S.
    needs a clean and press, probably 6.0
  8. Q.N.S.
    Since you asked, I don't think so. But it has decent value as a readers' copy, lots of those who have slabbed ASM 4's want reader copies.

    8.0. corners.

    1.5

    the moderate wear under top staple makes it a 8.5/9.0 for me. the mark in the price box, can it be removed?
  15. Q.N.S.
    7.0
  16. Q.N.S.
    4.5

    7.0 as long as that's not a tear on the bc.
  18. Q.N.S.
    8.0

    I'm talking about strong, cut thinly, totally clear and minimalist tape, on the back not front. Like, along the tear, on inside on front or back covers, not visible, or nicely done light spine split repair, etc. CGC's grading of tape is harsher than had been the mainstream view. Any opinions on when if ever tape is justifiable or even better than not? Overstreet still allows minor unobtrusive tape all the way up to VG in rare cases, but lower is common. I find myself in situations where tape application is good for the book but sometimes I hesitate thinking if its ever sent to CGC it might zoomline to 1.8.

    I have a sub-100 FF with a tape pull, same exact size... did it myself half-asleep. bummer.
  21. Q.N.S.
    1.8

    - edge loss on all pages of cover. - soiling spots (1) front spine on white, (2) back cover top - spine tick between "n" in "austin" and staple - rubbing with ink loss about half-inch top spine cover - top spine impacted corner, bottom spine slight abrasion - possible foxing or cleanable dirt line above children on back cover (or could be color bleed, can't tell here) - printing defect (not high enough grade to be considered) I'm not sure if they would go 9.0. This would be a VF+ book for me, 8.5 I would grade it for myself. -
