  1. 4.5. I can't see a 5.0 or higher with the reader crease & what looks like a stain to the right of the date stamp. Looks like a water stain on the back cover too.
  2. I think the size of the missing piece would be just over the bar to get a 0.5, but close to a NG. The only reason to grade this would be to make sure it stays in one piece.
  3. If it's ink, a dry clean will not remove it. i think people sometimes try magic erasers, but you have to be really careful to avoid a restored tag. IMO, there's enough light edge wear, small spine ticks & less than perfect corners so there's already a 9.0/9.2 ceiling. The top edge could be distributor ink, which wouldn't be treated like ink transfer.
  4. I'm giving this a solid GA bump up to 7.0/7.5. Nice looking one.
  5. that BRBC is a little questionable too. If it was just the tick, I'd say 9.6 was possible. With the BC, I'd say 2 grades lower is likely. He signed mine in pink between Deadpool's arms. Looks awesome. Enjoy the con. I have my facilitator carrying a couple of things down there for me.
  6. 6.0 The couple of bigger color breaking defects can't be helped
  7. Some kind of stain or foxing. Standard cleaning won't remove this, and unlikely harsher methos would work in addition to garnering a purple label. Around 5.5/6.0
  8. CCS is probably fine for this. I think they're mostly lacking in going the extra mile cleaning/pressing. I believe they do a quick surface clean & smash and go on to grading
  9. 3.0/3.5 is the right range for a piece out that size. There have been recent sales for <$50 for copies of this that look to be in better condition, so grading will be a money losing proposition. The only justification to submit this would have to be preservation for sentimental reasons.
  10. There appears to be a long light crease through the bottom BLC, most noticeable around the butt of the gun and plane. 7.0 max
  11. I would be curious if there is tanning on the inside covers. The little bit of tanning on the back probably caps this around 9.0/9.2, but I've gotten surprised by tanning on the inside covers that was light.
  12. 7.5/8.0. Maybe a little better if it was pressed
