Agree - most of the corners are slightly blunted, plenty of color breaking spine stresses... maybe this can get to 8.5/9.0 pressed out.

I just showed this to my wife, she said there’s a first time for everything...

4.0

Appears to be a 2 08... the issue was released at the end of January in 1984 so it’s likely a date stamp for February 8th. 9.0

Fresh book... 9.2/9.4

This... spine split is killer

2.0

6.0

Splitting the difference - 9.4

Respectable grade... Was this book pressed?

Both spine corners appear to be impacted/abraded... 9.0

8.0 as is 8.5/9.0 after press

Same...

I think comics should not be rolled up. But the grade is 3.5/4.0

Here’s an update: April 7th - CCS finished pressing the 7 Standard books and CGC sent an email that they have received them. April 15th - Submission tracking page now shows “Scheduled for Grading” under status, and the submission number is now a hyperlink to your submission page that lists all of the books under that submission. This is where the grades for each book will be posted.

Ahhh... so perhaps part of a person's grading perception (whether they think grading is tight or loose) is that individual's grading frame of reference. So my Über-simplistic, hyperbolic example would be every book I send CGC is, I believe, Gem Mint but they keep coming back much lower than that. So CGC must be grading tight. Whereas your tight- grading thinks every book is a 1.0 and they come back much higher than that. So CGC must be grading loose. Frame of reference... Quod erat demonstrandum. Pretentious mic drop.
