Great thread Dice,
I have questions with regards to grading on these comics with production flaws. I couldn't find another thread with that kind of thing and don't want to use PGM as there anyone chimes in just their opinion whether they have experience with CGC or not.
I know nobody can say for sure, but would appreciate some people's advice whom have a lot of experience with 9.6, 9.8, 9.9 and 10 books. I've only lots of experience with 9.4 and below.
In particular I bought a case of Silver Spidey #1's. None of them seem perfect to me, or 9.8 material but I'm probably being overly cautious. In each case assume that this is the only flaw with the book.
The particular defects I'm curious about are:
1.The white strip along the spine, some have said that this is considered a defect, even if it is the same width.
2. The same white strip if it goes from narrow to thick, so a misprint.
3. Minor bindery tear
4. Another misprint where it is the picture on the right edge that is slightly off center.
5. Minor blunting
Here are pictures to illustrate.
In this case I didn't take a picture of #1, but here is example of #2.
3. In the same picture above you can see a tiny bindery tear at the top, if that was the books only flaw what would it get. Here is a side view
4. misprint on the right side, you can see a silver strip at the right side bottom.
5. minor blunting top and bottom
If someone could give their experience with how they would be graded like 9.6-9.8 or likely 9.8 kind of thing I think that would help me and many others.
