9.0/9.2

The enlargements are blurry. I can't tell if the BRFC has a minor defect or it's glare. I would not bet on anything over 9.4

Yes, a bindery tear is a specific term for the little tears at the corners from production. IDK about magazines, but they're pretty common in some 80s Marvel comics.

9.2/9.4

4.0/4.5

4.0/4.5

I am disinclined to call this a bindery tear, or at least a if it started as a bindery tear, it has been enlarged (and therefore starts getting treated as a tear). A close reading of the CGC guide does describe tape not being a separate defect when used for repair (& does not lead to a restored grade), but they do characterize it as a "substance," so any discoloration, residue, etc. could be dinged. I think they leave some of these things ambiguous intentionally. I thing this scores a 6.0 if submitted.

9.2

4.0/4.5 writing won't matter at this grade

6.0 with work

5.0

4.0/4.5

5.0/5.5

8.5ish. I'd say ceiling is 9.0 just b/c the corners all have imperfections of different types

maybe 7.0/7.5 c/p'd. If that gunk on the back doesn't come off, or leaves a stain/residue, expect something closer to 6.

I think the outer cover looks 6ish. That looks like a pretty big chunk out of the inner cover, so maybe 3.5. The book comes out with the 6ish in the corner.

4.5 is about right

4.0

3.5 for the tear.

5.0/5.5. A detachment at a single staple by a single page will not lower the grade any further by CGC standards.

4.0/4.5. 4.0 for a less important issue, 4.5 with a key boost.

5.0, maybe a grade higher with the right work

With those deep wrinkles, I have a hard time seeing this over 4.0, even pressed

If that's a stain on the back cover, then yes, 7.5/8.0 is going to be the ceiling. 7.5 likely. I've had this happen to me.

4.5/5.0
