  1. 6.5/7.0, which will mean 7.5 or something b/c the Superman/Batman stuff always grades higher than I think it should
  2. 5.5/6.0 the writing won't matter much here with the color breaking spine stress lines
  3. Around 9.0. Light tanning might knock it down another grade
  4. Right kind of shots, less good with the shadows in some of the images. I think the corner issue on the front is going to knock this down to at least 6.5/7.0 despite being otherwise a pretty nice looking copy
  5. I think all that matters here is the stain. It's not that unsightly, but I think CGC tags this with a 6.0. 6.5 as an outside possibility. I'd definitely own this book even with a stain-reduced grade. I don't think I can ever justify paying the price that a copy that looks this nice otherwise.
  6. I don't see any significant issues. It's too hard to say whether something will be a 9.4/9.6/9.8 from just photos. >9.2
  7. >9.2. Only thing I can see in photos are little marks near the staples
  8. around 9.0/9.2 as-is, maybe higher if the indention can be pressed out. I don't see a 9.8 though
  9. >9.2. Work on better photos. Shadows can easily hide things. I accidentally get my finger shadow on a corner all the time, but half the back cover here is in shadow.
  10. This will go lower than 5.5 easily b/c of the staining. I have 5.5s with stains that are less severe. My opening bid is 4.0. Might go a grade higher, could go a grade or more lower.
  11. I can't see this going above 7.0 with all the little color breaking issues
  12. I've got this around 5.0 too. 5.0/5.5 depending on the GA bump
  13. Never buy an expensive book if the seller won't give front & back covers w/o a bag, or at least make sure you can return for a full refund before rolling the dice. That's my policy
  14. 5.0/5.5. I wanted to go 6.0, but the discoloration really is a feature of 5s. It would have to get a generous ASM bump.
