  3. From July 2022. Really happy with this one
  4. From July 2022. Kinda got creamed on these. Magazine still to come.

  7. The back looks like ink transfer to me, unless something is written on the inside of the back cover. It's like it was stacked next to a book with "125" written on it in marker. Almost like ink transfer from a distributor mark or something. I think a 7.0 is possible.
  8. Some scuffing around the spine under the price box and the ding by the fire hydrant. The crease on the outer edge by the K and some general light edge wear. 7.0±0.5. I'd say 7.5 is a long shot, but possible.
  9. 3.5/4.0. I think the sq bound format is responsible for some of the severity like the spine split and might not get hammered quite as hard as a regular comic.
  10. I don't have a good calibration for pieces missing from the covers. I think the max for this (ignoring the size) is 3.5. I'm going with 3.0±0.5 with a huge asterisk for me not knowing anything.
  11. Love me some Steranko art. I'd guess CGC would call that back damage a tape pull, even though IDK how you'd get that type of damage. Maybe you'd be around a 7.0 just for that. As big, if not bigger, issue at CGC is what looks like tanning/foxing, which is readily apparent with that much white cover. I got dinged pretty hard for some discoloration on just the inside of a cover. I think this might go as low as 5.0/5.5
  12. +1 on the inside photos. We probably need to pay more attention to discoloration on inside covers and interior pages based on CGC's current standards. That edge is pretty rough. Without a different perspective, it's hard to tell if it's from cover overhang or just regular handling. I was around 6.0 without the tear near the spine. I'd still set that as the ceiling. 5.5±0.5
  13. You can always edit the original post and the comment will bump it back to the top. Possible some minor scuff here and there. >9.2
  14. I see, something, around the staples on the back. The photo is not very sharp when enlarged. I can see some inconsistencies in the color along the top of the front cover. It could be a 9.0 or better, if could also be a grade or so lower depending on what's not clear in the photos
