GUESS the Grade Vampi #90 you MUST look at this book!

[sckao]

 

It's a crease on the URC of the FC and a MASSIVE impacted corner on the ULC of the BC.

 

There was no way it was in the upper 9's.

 

I'm surprised it dropped that much to a 7.5 though.

Got to agree, the book screams 9.6 all the way, apart for the impact corner crease. 7.5 seems punitive in the extreme!!!

Please guess the grade of this book

 

Vampi books sure seem to get graded harshly, I seem to recall a Vampi book FFB had that was severely undergraded for some reason.

 

And also agree this book mainly got hammered for that corner(which more then likely affects every page of the book)

It was the word "disco" on the back that brought it down.

That new back cover scan tells it all. Big difference.

[The Troll King]

That is the same scan that someone else lightened. That bend is a non-color breaking bend.

maybe you should have had the corner pressed first. Then you'd likely have gotten your 9.0

If it were cost effective to do so I would actually. But to pay for pressing the corner and then the regrading would not make it worthwhile.

 

Don't forget you non-magazine collectors... it costs $25 to slab a magazine. Not as cheap as a comic.

Just wanted to be clear, I was not hatin on your book, I just lightened the scan to better see what it was that CGC graded it so harshly for. It is still a very nice book.

 

In my experience, severe bends like the one your URC has appears to affect every page, so I assume that was why CGC hammered the book.

Is it an impact dent or did something lay on top of it to cause the depression? If that was impact I cannot see how a crease could not be formed. If it was done slowly over time then yes, you could get the same defect without the crease.

[Stronguy]

It's an impact crease (I actually saw the book in-hand) and it would be nearly impossible to press that out because it makes a hard crease.
