    2.0/2.5

    What are those two lines on the back cover that look like staples? I've seen really offset staples in Charlton books, but I think I see the staples on the spine. The oxidation/shadow probably maxes this out around 8.0/8.5, but I'd need more info on those lines to be sure.

    my personal opinion on SS books like this is that the grade isn't nearly as important as having a creator's significant work signed. I have a Quivers 1 and an After Apocalypse out for Bendis & Bagley respectively. If either gets 8.0 or above I'll consider it a bonus. AA is really hard to find period, let alone in non-garbage shape

    The spine ticks are color breaking and it looks like some foxing on the TLBC. Those will be the capping defects IMO

    7.0/7.5. On my Silvestri SS list.

    9.0/9.2 I see a white line across the Hulk

    I see some light lines in the black on the right edge. I see these on some, but not all, graded copies. It does look like a stacking bend or something along the back spine. 8.0/8.5 as is. Pressed, 9.0 or better depending on what these front edge stuff is

    3.5/4.0, leaning 3.5. The tanning is just too dark

    Max 6.0. That's a long crease to go with the moderate spine creases on the back. I don't see any value in slabbing this. With 0 effort, I found a 9.6 that can be yours for <$70. It would be hard to find, ship and grade a copy for less than that and you already know the grade https://www.ebay.com/itm/314756855436

    I can't count actually, I realized I counted a reaction notification after hitting reply

    3.0, but I'd bet on a 1 grade boost

    4.0

    7ish. My eyes sort of see a readers crease along the spine, but I'm not 100% sure. It may be partial, full or my eyes might deceive me. If it's there, could go down to 6.0

    >9.2. Light spine fraying probably means the max is 9.6. It's pretty common for these kind of books

    I don't think it's possible to accurately grade at the top tier from photos. Hard enough in hand. I see what looks like a stress line at the top staple. Some of the dark ink looks like it's lost a bit of gloss or had very light scuffing. I see 9.2/9.4, but it is hard to be confident when the smallest details are important

    Inner pages look a little dark, other than that I'm not seeing anything that would prevent this from getting around a 9.0
  24. scburdet
    3.0/3.5. I think there are too many pieces out of the back to get into the 4s.
  25. scburdet
    6.5
