Guess the Grade- Cracked a slab today...

[Aces]

It's always a good day when you liberate a poor comic from it's prison.

 

Subject: Fantastic Four 18

Insides: No problems- nice- ow/w

Outsides: 2 problems

 

1) Obvious wear along the bottom left of the comic showing up on the Thing.

 

2) Pinching effect between the staples causing a waving effect. Seen better on the back cover. Front cover barely shows the problem. You can maybe pick up one small wave just above the Thing's left hand, just under the Super Skrull's "Torchlike" fire stream.

 

I'll put up a scan of the back in the next post.

I have larger scans, but will need someone to host them.

Give me a minute with my sorry ars 56K!

Now it will take twice as long for the page to load.

Back cover:

[supapimp]

my scan is better than yours.

[Aces]

my scan is better than yours.

 

How the heck did you do that?

What software do you use?

[supapimp]

ACD fotocanvas lite 2.0

[Aces]

ACD fotocanvas lite 2.0

 

Big $$$?

[njdolphins]

mmmmmmm.............. 6.0?

[Aces]

I'll post a scan of the blue label tomorrow.

 

That will give everyone 24 hours to put their guesses in.

I'll take a stab at it, 7.0

 

Nice colors by the way!

My guesstimate 6.5. Probably a 7.5 if not for the creasing to the LLC and spine.

 

[Rocketeer]

6.0

[supapimp]

5.5-6.0

[ArAich]

6.5 ...

[uclapeterg]

5.5 . I don't think Aces would have done that with a 6.0 or higher.

[THE_BEYONDER]

5.5 . I don't think Aces would have done that with a 6.0 or higher.

 

[Aces]

5.5 . I don't think Aces would have done that with a 6.0 or higher.

 

 

8.0 and up would be my "no-crack zone" on FFs 14-28, Ann 1 and 2

 

7.0+ on issues 7-13

 

6.0+ on 2-6

 

4.5+ on 1

[Silver]

I'll go 6.5
