I would say 9.0 min. Only defect I see is one slight blunt llfc, and possible non sharp corners on bc. wrinkles on b/c or tight spine crease?

Tell me more.....

8.5 to 9.0

9.4 (thumbs u

Tell me more.....

 

Front cover is sweet and the bindery chip at the top or crease at the bottom will not impact the grade. Unless you tell me otherwise, I am guessing those are 6 creases on the spine area of the back cover, and one seems to be about 2 1/2 inches long.

9.0, maybe 9.2

You're dead on. What's interesting is that those NCB creases were caused post-slabbing. The book was an old label CGC 9.2. Book suffered impact to the top & bottom of the spine....which caused the spine to kink .

In that case is say 6.5

[THE_BEYONDER]

You're probably right. The impact to the top of the spine also caused the tiny production split to tear further.....

6.5 is too harsh. Book is very similar to the Hulk 159 I posted. Almost identical NCBC on the back cover and that graded out at an 8.5.

I have often wondered about that. I am not saying it happens to all slabbed books but every now and then I get a book back that appears it has been impacted by being encased. Mt TTA #90 has a bend in the spine it did not have when I scanned it. When I get back home I will show scans.

Please do. I've decided to revisit the impact of SCS in more detail....

[Comicdey]

8.5 IMO...

 

Anyone store books in boxes with backing boards that were too long, then stack then and find out 20 years later that you've got a slight curve to your books?
