    I have a nice Avengers 43 that is a solid 8.0 book but when you take it out of the bag the smell of mothballs will knock your socks off !
  2. Lamborghinikid
    I really don’t know and you can’t even see that line in person. That lighting actually shows this book to be in much worse condition. The book looks even nicer in person. My thing is I have multiple 7.0 , 7.5, 8.0 and 8.5 cgc books in my collection. This one leans more towards the 8.5 and even some 9.0 examples that I have. The value difference between an 8.0 and 8.5 was enough for me to risk it being sent in for the possible upgrade. With it receiving an 8.0 white page grade two times I really wasn’t that concerned of it falling in grade. I was dead wrong !

    I have already busted it out of the slab but here is the book. It graded an 8.0 white pages two different times. Then when i sent it in a few months ago it came back 7.0 off white to white pages. I’m sending it back in again and trying for that 8.5. Even if it doesn’t get that elusive 8.5, I feel this book is better than a 7.0.

    I had a 8.0 white page book that I truly felt should have got an 8.5. I sent it back in over a year ago and it came back again as 8.0 white pages. I sent it back in a few months ago to try again and it came back 7.0 with off white to white pages.

    I’m thinking the grader notes will probably say “effects story”

    Is there a known name for this type of flaw? I would like to know what its called the next time that I see it. Thanks
  7. Lamborghinikid
    I know there are different levels of foxing and water stains but it doesn’t seem to inherit the conventional traits that you normally see with those flaws. It’s only on the bottom of the rear cover. It doesn’t penetrate the cover or pages at all like a stain and it’s not splotchy like you see with foxing. Any idea what this could be ? Thank you.

    Every time I think about stamp collectors I think about Brewsters Millions.

    That used to work but now you can’t. All of the grader notes on every book , including the books that used to have grader notes , is now GONE !
  10. Lamborghinikid
    Yep ! That’s what I’m getting too. The click tab is now completely gone.
  11. Lamborghinikid
    For some reason , I want to think the tab on my iPad was blue. It might be red ? It’s currently gone so I can’t check it and see. Lol. Thanks for the response, I’m glad it’s not just mine. It must be a system glitch.

    When you get books back from grading you can click on your “submission” tab and it takes you to your recent submissions. You can then click on your books that have been graded and under the grade of the book is a “grader notes” tab. You can click on it and it will give you the grader notes for your book. Mine was there two nights ago on all of my books , now it is gone.
  13. Lamborghinikid
    The grader notes tab in my recently graded books has vanished in all of the books. Is it just me or anyone else ?
  14. Lamborghinikid
    Your right , I think I’m going to send it in. It’s close enough with the good front eye appeal. I don’t think it would fall out of the 7s so I will box it up and send it in. Thanks to everyone for your opinions.

    There are only around 40 Newstand copies known to exist with a 9.2 selling for $3500 recently. Only around 8 have been graded. That’s why i was thinking that this one needed to be slabbed but even with the prices soaring I didn’t want to slab it if it was going to come back in the 7.0 range.
  17. Lamborghinikid
    I will measure the crease when i get in. I was trying to envision the book after it was pressed but that color breaking crease along with the other wear made me think that a 8.0 might be pushing it.
  18. Lamborghinikid
    With a press and clean can this hit a 8.0 ? Finger dents, some spine ticks, and normal reading flaws. The main concern is the color breaking crease on the back in the bottom corner. It doesn’t break color on the inside, only on the outside. If it has an outside shot of hitting an 8.0 with a press and clean I would like to send it. Your opinions on this one is truly appreciated. Thank you
  19. Lamborghinikid
    Thank you all for the feedback. I’m packing it up this weekend along with a few other for press, clean and then grading. I will update the photos of how it tuned out as soon as it comes back from grading.
  20. Lamborghinikid
    It looks like someone had a piece of paper on top of the book and drew a long line with a loop at the end. It made a pen or pencil impression on the cover of whatever it is that they drew. Has anyone ever had any luck with getting an impression like this out ? Thank you
  21. Lamborghinikid
    I’m packing it and the the other books this weekend. I’m sending them in for press and clean. I will post the grades as soon as I get them back. After all of the feedback I’m hoping for a 9.0 !
  22. Lamborghinikid
    I would love to get a 9.0 on this book.
  23. Lamborghinikid
    I’m still laughing at this ! It makes me want to watch 80s movies all weekend.
  24. Lamborghinikid
    If it pulls a 9.2 I’m buying you a steak dinner brother !
  25. Lamborghinikid
    I would love to see that grade happen ! I would be dancing in the street.
