  1. Oxidation shadow, caused by that part of the book being exposed to the elements, heat, air etc. At 6.0 figure about $60 graded...
  2. Correct, this appears to be a printer's crease and should not affect the grade. The crease was in the paper before the ink was applied so it will not appear to break color. A clean and press will not (and should not) remove the crease.
  3. Certainly better than a 3.0 probably closer to 4.5...
  4. Agree...Corner bends on three corners and stressed top edge, but all appear to be pressable...
  5. All of the above.. AND... I would suggest using new bags and archival safe (acid-free) backing boards for these books for better protection.
  6. 8.5 but should clean up nice. 9.2/9.4 after
  7. Agree, and probably doesn't go much higher maybe 7.5 after C&P...
  8. CCS (CGC owned affiliate) did the clean and press. For my first submission I wanted an uncomplicated, seamless grading experience, so I went with CCS. This comic was cleaner than the rest of my submitted books, but they did a fantastic job, and I'm very happy with the result.
  9. Couldn’t agree more... I was under on every single book with the exception of #15 Kraven. Even then I was only over half a grade. Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate previously rejected submission candidates.
  10. Thanks, it was indeed an awesome day. There were no disappointing results and quite a few surprises. I was absolutely blown away that my first submission went as well as it did.
  11. No doubt! This book had been folded from the spine through Hulk’s face and I didn’t hold out much hope that it could be improved. I stand corrected. 5.0 is an amazing grade!
  12. @Deadpoolica on a roll... we are your grading slaves...
  13. Yes. Every book had a full C&P through CCS. I must say they did an amazing job, especially on this book.
  14. Honestly, I didn’t see 9.0, the book cleaned up surprisingly well.
