    9.4 or better
  2. scburdet
    9.0/9.2 the lightest of edge wear to go with the spine ticks
  3. scburdet
    7.0, maybe better pressed
  4. scburdet
    7.5. I think the discoloration on the back hurts
  5. scburdet
    is the spine split (and taped back on)? or just reinforced?
  6. scburdet
    I take the color rub back b/c I looked at my copy and that's part of the cover. I think 9.0 is possible. You're a grade or so above mine
  7. scburdet
    Looks good to me. I think 9.4 or better.

    There something that looks crease-y on the back corner that's under "FREE" and it looks like bottom outside corner is a bit rounded. A Chance at 9.6, but I'd set the expectations at tad lower 9.2±0.2
  9. scburdet
    9.2±0.2
  10. scburdet
    7.0±0.5. Most of the defects I see are color-breaking, so there are limitations to what pressing can do. Couldn't hurt to maximize the grade if there are some indentions
  11. scburdet
    5.0/5.5
  12. scburdet
    To my amateur eyes, that looks pressable. I do see a white tick/tear in the mountains on the back cover center left. That's going to hold you down to 9.4±0.2 as an upper limit (probably 9.4). Maybe 9.0 as is.

    It doesn't look bad. I see what looks like some color run around the CCA emblem, which hurts but a printer's crease won't count against you (maybe if it was in otherwise 9.8 condition, you could lose a grade, but not here). Some light indentions along the spine without color breaking. Maybe C&P to a 9.0. 8.0/8.5 as is barring some tanning inside or something like that.

    9.0/9.2

    +!. You see 0.5 for books that are missing big cover pieces, or are so worn that the cover is ugly at best. IMO the grade in the corner here is not that important tho.
  16. scburdet
    3.5/4.0. he biggest thing is that it looks pretty dirty. A good cleaner might really improve the appearance & bump it up a grade or two.
  17. scburdet
    +1
  18. scburdet
    4.5/5.0. 5.0 if the grime around Batman's head can be clean (and if that's not a water stain). If that all came off, I could see a 5.5 with a charitable grader.
  19. scburdet
    7.0±0.5 depending on the press taking out the cover indentions. The yellowing edges set the upper limit
  20. scburdet
    Those pics are low resolution. You'll need something better to get an accurate grade
  21. scburdet
    if production related, not a big deal. 9.2/9.4 after C/P unless that's not a production defect
  22. scburdet
    If it's completely unstapled, I don't think that matters. It's a production defect. The bottom staple looks recessed, but the stain & the missing piece are the bigger concern. I think 5.5/6.0. I think I see enough minor wear to add on top to knock it off the 6.5ish tier, which is where I think the stain/piece alone would max out.
  23. scburdet
    Full front and back covers for this forum please. Also, try to do something with the glare
  24. scburdet
    There's the discoloration around the edges of the back. Foxing? There's also the brown spots along the spine in the front. Not sure what that is. Rust? Foxing? not sure. Highly dependent on what cleans off. 7.0/7.5 now. If those white areas get clean, go up. There's that divot coming out of the top edge of the front, so if everything else was perfect, my ceiling would be 9.0

    8.5/9.0, although a Grade is In Punisher 1 had worse looking corners & notched a 9.8 so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ A little color rub in a couple spots and the scratch? at the top center is about all I see.
