does this look like a 9.0??

[CAP Freak]

Not to me... There looks like a chunk missing from the top RC And if its not the scan or case there seems to be fleks of whit on the florr board and is that green spray paint on the pages? I think its should be an 8.0/8.5

[DrWatson]

Do you think it should be graded higher or lower?

 

[Monstro]

to me it looks like a 7.5. but maybe the white pages gives it a bump?

[whetteon]

It's terribly mis wrapped, the pages seems to be sticking out of the cover and the right corner page seems to be missing a chunk. I wouldn't of given that a 9.0 seeing it raw that's for sure.

Wouldn't that be a big bump? Are the staples a little rusty? I can't grade my way out of a paper bag.

spine looks good, edges look good, corners look good - don't see any chips out of any corners but hey - and it has a bit of the old 52 pager roll to it.

 

if that's a VF-, i will buy all VF- books like that you have

Hard to tell but CGC I believe may consider that corner a production defect on those DC 25 centers. Are there any spine ticks? The corners look pretty sharp. I do know that those DCs are considered pretty hard to grade consistently

Yes

What they said :busy:

[the blob]

given that CGC doesn't care about the wrap, yes it's a 9.0. the top left...well, that could be a "minor bindery tear" or they could simply have deducted .4 from what they considered a 9.4 (despite the production issues)

 

No creases, spine ticks or anything else, right?

 

the 52 pagers are hard to grade. didn't Donut call one a 7.5 that came back a 9.6?

[cortez]

Staples seem quite off center to me (7.5 to 8.0)

[Monstro]

Yes

 

are you saying yes it looks like a 9.0?

[nik]

Yes, it looks like a 9.0

Look at the sharp spine. It's been PRESSED. I ain't touchin' it -even with the force.
