    This is a severe spine roll.

    If it were my book I would go for it.
  3. joeypost
    Do you have a scan of the book?

    Before you start pressing books yourself, it would be a good idea to research manufacturing in comic books. Learn what is correctable and what is not.

    6.0

    Sorry for your loss, Mike.

    Absolutely I can see the defects that downgraded these books. In at least one case, I am surprised the book graded a 9.6. Look for the little spine indents and color breaking micro-creases.

    There were some dealers I desperately tried to spend money with, but their pricing was Covid peak squared.

    It seemed everyone in attendance was shopping and buying. Not too many tire kickers this year.

    The show seemed light, but it was steady. This was sometime Saturday.

    Only 3 9.9’s? You’re slipping bro.

    The defects pictured will come out with a good press.

    What most are saying is that your book is a combination of distribution ink and a small spot of water damage.

    Moisture damage can exists without any waviness in the affected area. When the moisture is heavy enough to leave a tide line, CGC usually deducts heavily for that. 2-3 full grades at a minimum depending on the severity of the damage.

    Look at the inside of the back cover.
  17. joeypost
    That top right corner of the back cover looks like it has moisture damage and an associated tide line.
  18. joeypost
    Most likely the case.

    In the hands of someone qualified, this book will see marked improvement in the visual grade, as has been stated already. It is not a book I would hand off to someone who is just learning to press, no matter how good the price is.

    I’ll ship to Canada when you guys finally hoist the cup again.

    It could be a bad press job.

    Not sure if they are plastic artifacts or not, but it looks like pieces of paper in the seam on the back cover.
  23. joeypost
    Is the paper just folded over?
  24. joeypost
    It can go either way, but I always error on the side of caution.

    A magazine may be in the 9.0 range, but a regular sized comic is most likely to cap out at 8.5.
