    Hi all, Wondoring what CGC’s grading standards are for books with manufacturing tears to the interior pages. Specifically, I have several books with small pin holes and tears at the bottom of interior pages. It looks like the paper was damaged while being sorted through a feeder. I’ve attached an image of a book with similar damage that I found on the web. Any thoughts on how these types of defects grade out? Can books with these defects still achieve a 9.4 to 9.8 grade range? Thanks for your thoughts.

    Hi, I was specifically reacting to the pricing for the book on GoCollect. They have it at $110 in 9.8. Also seeing a wacky spike in Web #18. GoCollect just placed a value of $800 on that book in 9.8. And $325 in 9.6!... Crazy IMHO.

    Hey all, can anyone out there clue me in on the spike into valuations for Web of Spider-man #8? The book has soared in value over the last 6/12 months but, as far as I know, it’s not a key issue. Any thoughts? Thanks,

    Hi all, Making my first foray into the chat boards today with a question: I was wondering how much more scarce a high grade "News Stand edition" book is in comparison to "Direct Editions". I have read that some collectors don't even distinguish between the two variants while others place a high premium on "News Stand" books. Any opinions on the matter? I'm asking because I just got my copy of X-Men 207 back from CGC with Chris Claremont's signature and I was thrilled to see that the book had graded out to a 9.8! My copy also happens to be a "News Stand" edition and it got me thinking about how significant (or not) that might be in terms of rarity and value. I have attached a pic of the book below. Thanks in advance for your comments.
