  1. Depends on the dust shadow. But, yes they can sometimes go away.
  2. Do you have grader notes or higher res scans? Looks upgradeable from those pics but they really aren't detailed enough to say with much certainty.
  3. I remember when the Auroa copy of this book sat around on Ebay and CC for ages with no takers. Maybe 18months? Oh how times have changed.
  4. If you put a sheet of paper behind it most scanners will auto-scan a larger area so you don't end up with such closely cropped edges.
  5. Ditto, thought it might just be that I find it memorable because of the unique damage.
  6. You are right. I can't imagine calling it a 4.0 either, it is clearly under-graded.
  7. Book is not even close to NM and that damage doesn't look like shipping damage. I'd take the refund and leave negative feedback.
  8. Well put. I think you'll get different answers depending on who you ask; my answer would be no. Though I think it is clear I'm in the minority given 3.0s are nearing $10k.
  9. Someone who shares my opinion about Cap 74. I don't ged it, it isn't rare and the art is so so.
  10. I've been hunting for a copy of the the Battle Report FOR AGES. Great stuff!
  11. I know All New 8 is inconsistently labelled. My copy is but I have seen other copies that don't have the designation:
  12. The low resolution makes it hard to look at the spine wear along the spine. There also looks to be a colour breaking crease on the FC bottom right corner? With the chip out and the tear on the lower right BC I'm at 6.5. 7.0 wouldn't surprise me especially if I am mistaken about that FC crease.
  13. Oh most erudite boardies please prognosticate on my book. It presents well but the bottom staple is popped and not just from the FC, it is pulled through the first few wraps too.
  14. +1 Ioved this story. And Walta's art is also wonderful. Could not recommend more highly.
