  1. @KCOComics Thanks. Do you think a press might help? I have never really had books pressed but curious about if that may be worth considering.
  2. @Joe Ankenbauer As best I can tell they are not creases/stains but appears to be dirty in that area
  3. @bellrules I bought it on Ebay several years ago
  4. @theCapraAegagrus Thanks for the input. I definitely want to learn correctly and do try to put in the work to learn. I have been looking at and been submitting to the PGM board and finding that useful. I appreciate all the input and information there. I guess what I was looking for was some rules of thumb/heuristics on grading decisions that are a little more concrete for the lower grades 2.0 to 5.0 these are the ones I find the hardest to determine. I do like the cheat sheet that eta nick had in his video series (at least it made sense to me). Thanks all for the input/advice.
  5. Hi: I know there isn't a great substitute for experience in grading but am looking for info on reducing learning curve. I do understand there is some subjectivity in grading. Besides resources like the Overstreet Grading Guide, these boards are there any other good resources/videos on "correct" Grading of comics? I believe I have a fair understanding of higher grade books (8.0/8.5 or above) but mid/lower grade books are a little harder for me thus I am looking for more info to help me. I found a series on YouTube related to grading from someone "named" eta nick. Has anyone viewed and have opinion on validity of his grading tips/guidance? The series seem fairly reasonable to me. I appreciate any insight/advice on learning more on grading mid/lower range books. Thanks
