  1. This isn't a pricing thread. Just look it up. Not a lot
  2. It presents like an 8.0 but I think the accumulation of all the small defects will bring it under 8 especially for a newer book.
  3. Technically it's a 4.5 but being GA it's probably a CGC 5/5.5. cover cleaning could help but the tear and creases are the limiting factors.
  4. 7.5 cb stress lines and ticks around top staple. Bottom left corner wear, crease bottom right corner and slight spine roll.
  5. They have to very tiny and not color breaking, however I've seen cgc 9.4s with small cb spine ticks. Depends if everything else is perfect like the corners and how old the book is.
  6. That's a serious miscut not sure how that effects the grade but it is taken into account.
  7. There are some issues with the bc top edge and page edge. Hard to see but those look like they would bring it under an 8.0
  8. What's that black line on the top left fc? I'd say 7.5 because of the spine ticks and wear.
  9. Yes it's definitely bent on the right side.
  10. Is that a vertical bend? Pressable if so but probably not worth it unless this is some rare price varient. Higher resolution would help hard to see details that are important at this grade area.
  11. There a two color breaking ticks on the spine and a cb crease on the bottom right corner. Bottom left corner is worn. Top left is dinged. Crease on bc and bc looks a bit dirty 7/7.5
  12. Those long color breaking creases at the top keep it under an 8.0. If your dealer thinks that is a 9.0 he is either dishonest or has no idea how to grade.
  13. That top edge puts it under 8.0 in my book. 7.5
  14. That's a lot of color breaking ticks on the spine for an 8.0. Looks 6.5/7.0 to me
  15. I don't think my scanner is very good. I don't see any color loss on the spine. The top corner has slight wear, the bottom corner not perfectly square. There are 3 very tiny ticks along the spine. 1 breaks color for about 2mm, the other two it is very difficult to tell and depends on the lighting. I'm wondering if they might press out well. I add some photos to help give a better idea of the spine and corners.
  16. I'm considering submitting this one and want to get some feedback on how it will grade and if it's worth the cost.
  17. This may be the hot new trend. The new "varient" cover sought out by deep pocketed collectors.
  18. It would be nice to see the backs. The hulk looks like a 7/7.5 because of the corners. It's difficult to see if There is wear at the bottom staple. Batman a 5.5. what CGC will give them is hard to say especially without the backs and better photos. For what it's worth I usually grade harsher than cgc.
