You *might* get in the 8.0-9.0 range with that tear. It looks to me like there's some darkness along the top center of the back cover. I can't tell what that is. If it's a shadow, no problem. If it's discoloration, I think that would lower it several grades.

If thats a stain 7.0 at best..shadow 8.0.

7.0

Due to all that spine creasing (rolledup at spine) only 6.0/6.5 as is C&P to 7.5

7.0

3.5/4.0

9.2

Well read! Thanks for looking.

Got some questions regarding C&P .Do oyou think those stains can be cleaned out? Will  that raise grade?

Thanks..guess i'll pass for now

Yes, that title box is my main concern. 

5 asis ,C&P to 6

2/2.5

Considering buying this,but I think its rated a bit high. 9.0??

Sorry, no BC pics.

If just the front cover I'd  go 8.5! But the BC brings it down to 7.5 ..Again C&P would help

6.0 at best as is ; but again I think a C&P will raise grade by 1..maybe more??

Edge/Corner wear w/denting, color rub and color breaking creases, moderate foxing/staining on both front and rear covers, discolored/slightly rusted staples, minor to moderate spine stress w/color breaking spine ticks.

IMO...FN- 5.5

Once again marvelmaniac has the details;but thinking a C&P might up the grade by 1.Thoughts?

Thanks.

Nice copy except for those creases and dirt on back.8.5 asis.CP to 9.0/9.2

Leave it.

I see NOTHING!

Spine wear,chip out of top corner FC;and UGH! stains on back 

Thanks for looking.

8ish for the kind of color loss along the spine seems right to me. I'd hesitate to send CGC a modern like this b/c they could really hammer it compared to something from an earlier age where production wasn't as consistently good and books got handled more harshly.

Yes I agree. The newer the book the higher the expectations for the same grade.

a box with this in it for $100! Find of the century!

If nervous about that staple holding, if you put a small piece of scrapebok tape inside by that staple, I don't think CGC would hold that against grade as it would be to preserve integrity of comic.

Other opinions on that please!

6.5
