FOR SALE - one copy of Uncanny X-men 244 - CGC 9.6 with white pages. Brand new slab. 

First appearance of Jubilee. 

Looks to me like the flaw could be pressed out and the book stands a chance at 9.8 with a resub. 

That might just be what I do if it doesn't sell here first. 

$53

I will take it

How do I know which comics you have left to sell? This thread is getting too long and it is hard to keep track what are left in your inventory. 

This is funny because this is the book I was planning to buy. I told the seller that this book is nowhere near mint condition and I gave him an offer which he refused. I guess you are the one who bought the book.

5 year old thread. 

Dan, I'd imagine they do consider each color break spine stress.  They'll also consider the size of each spine stress and they'll also look at every other flaw in a book.  3 spine breaks and rounded corners might grade lower than another book with perfect corners and 7 spine breaks.

I agree, but the way CBCS and CGC grading is so mysterious to me. I always thought a 9.6 cannot have more than 2 color break spine stresses or a 9.2 with more than 5 color break spine stresses. Both companies have their own system of grading and they don't follow the Street Grading guide. 

Sorry to revive this thread again, but I want to mention the slabbed comics that I bought from eBay and I am pretty upset with those purchases.

The first book was ASM # 300 graded by CBCS with a score of 9.2. This comic has 8 color break spine stresses.

The second book was Avenger Annual # 10 graded by CGC with a score of 9.6. This comic has 3 color break spine stresses. 

So to answer Comicsarefun's comment posted above, I think CGC and CBCS don't consider multiple color break spine stresses as multiple  defects. I believe they group the spine stresses # in a range and label the comic accordingly. For example, 4-6 spine stress will be labeled 9.4 while 7-8 spines stresses will be labeled 9.2. 

I have a very light scratch on the back cover of Batman The Killing Joke. Can pressing remove this scratch? Thanks guys. 

I think CGC treats those mark as normal because Amazing Spiderman # 300 has the same thing and my comic didn't get any grade reduction for it. 

Is there a reason why you give it a 8.0? Is it because of the small scratches? Do you think it is worthy to get it slab? 

yes a light scratch on the back and a light scratch on the spine. I actually ran into a guy who has 7 copies of the dark knight returns # 1 and I was lucky enough to choose the best copy. 

The book definitely a 9.2 I have the same book with 8 color break spine stresses, but everything else is perfect and I got 9.2 from CBCS. 

Spare me a grade guys 

Thanks guy,

I just initiated a return for the book. It is a shame since everything about the book is in perfect condition. 

If this is water droplet, can I do pressing and cleaning to remove this smudge? 

Bump guys,

Please reply to this thread because I need to make decision whether I should return the book or not. Thanks. 

Hello Guys, 

I am new to this forum. The reason I am here today  is because I just bought Batman The Dark Knight Returns # 1 from eBay and I noticed a defect on the comic. There is a smudge but it doesn't look like a fingerprint. Is this smudge a manufacturing defect? If not how much grade will I lose if I submit the comic to CGC? Thanks.
