defects please

[the_Greatest]

nothing you can't see. off-white pages, back cover is in great shape.

[fantastic_four]

nothing you can't see.

 

Well then 9.8. I can't see any defects! Scan's too small, lots of artwork to hide defects.

10-4........ one of these days I'm gonna get me a website... you are clicking on the little upsize thing a ma jiggy at the lower right corner ?

 

I was really wondering about the top edge, there is some obvious color break where the cover folded over the pages. Does this kill any 9.4 chance it has?

[murph0]

Why don't you crop it, and resize it? All that white space is a waste of space.

Thanks Supa!

I have vowed to learn how to crop and resize within the next week!

 

The best I could do was this,... instant headache.

 

well folks? does anybody think this could be higher than an 8.5?

[Aces]

9.0/9.2ish if the back cover is OK.

 

edit: Now that I see the better pic... 8.5ish

You could probably give me a 300dpi scan, and I'd still miss defects in all that water art. There are two major phases to grading--defect identification and grade assignment. It's so much easier to find paper bends or surface impressions looking at a book at an angle under fluorescent light; that's why it's ALWAYS incumbent upon the poster of these types of threads to post a list of defects if they really want accurate grading help. My grandma can find defects, given enough concentration...assigning a grade them is the tricky and somewhat fuzzy part given the current set of standards. To be effective, these "guess the grade" threads should always be about grade assignment, not about defect identification.

 

Any spine stresses or edge wear? That thumb mark up top drops it to the 8.5 range.

you can compare it to my former CGC 9.0 copy:

[fantastic_four]

Did you use "buy-it-now" on ebay to get that about two years ago for about $90? That looks just like the copy I barely missed.

[supapimp]

whatever, go look at your FF 52 CGC 9.6 to cheer you up.

[uclapeterg]

I think it's 7.5/8.0.

[the_Greatest]

hater.....

[fantastic_four]

What are you getting ticked about? Does that mean it was you? YOU STOLE MY BOOK!!!!

[supapimp]

sarcasim james sarcasim ...it's not stealing if i'd paid for it.

[murph0]

Why would you want that, it's a lowly 9.0

 

I'm really curious why that book is so hard to find. That, and why 63 is so tough.. however, it's surrounded by the 2 easiest issues to find in high grade.

9.0's better than nothin'! Although I did get a 9.0/9.2 copy from VanLiew a few months after Supa bought his...but the price Supa got was really sweet.
