    I was looking for a term that slots between gross and train wreck, and icky fits nicely! I’m totally stealing that for my descriptive toolbox. Unfortunately, eye appeal is significantly diminished due to the stains... 3.0
  2. MPH1964
    Looks like the bottom spine corner has an impact crease with color loss. That and blunted corners... 9.0/9.2
  3. MPH1964
    Rafael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello & Gertrude... I vote YES!
  4. MPH1964
    Not a lot of experience with books in this condition but I’ll take a shot at it... 1.0
  5. MPH1964
    2.5/3.0 leaning more towards 3.0.
  6. MPH1964
    2.5

    Frigate out of Newport and Sub tender out of Holy Loch. From one shipmate to another, thanks for your service!

    Teenage? No. Mutant? No. Ninja? No. But still awesome! Cool turtle! 9.0/9.2. Not sure if the drag marks on the FC impact the grade all that much but maybe they are just noticeable because of the zoom. Nice book.

    Aye, aye Chief... a press it will get. @Chief1332If you don’t mind me asking, where did you serve? (I’m assuming that you were Navy, forgive me if I’m wrong.)

    Thanks everyone. I was kind of hoping the consensus would land around 7.0-7.5 as the tanning and oxidation shadow probably keeps it from going any higher. My personal grade was also 7.0.

    Hi all — Posting some books for your kind consideration... This is the 10th of 10 books that I’m sending to CGC. PGM ASM 31 - First appearance of Gwen Stacy & Harry Osbourne. Thanks for looking...

    Hi @joeypost, @Angel of Death kindly helped me out regarding my worry that the top staple of my ASM 129 might detach if I press this book. I was hoping that your experience with pressing could shed some light whether the staple tear would get worse or potentially detach completely during a press. I appreciate any assistance you can offer. Thanks!

    I was at 8.5/9.0 leaning towards the higher grade. Hoping to get this and the other books I posted sent out next week. Thanks to all for your input.

    Sub crease keeps me under 6.0... so 5.5
  20. MPH1964
    7.0
  21. MPH1964
    I wouldn’t disagree with that, my personal grade was 4.5.
  22. MPH1964
    I was thinking 3.5/4.0 due to the staining and book length color breaking crease.
  23. MPH1964
    6.0 press to flatten and smooth out waviness.

    Hi all — Posting some books for your kind consideration... This is the 8th of 10 books that I’m sending to CGC. PGM ASM 41 - First appearance of the Rhino. Staple tears, light date stamp, tanning and oxidation shadow. Cover and centerfold firmly attached. Overall a nice presenting book. Thanks for looking...
