Iron Man 282: Grade away!

[JasonNewcomb]

I purchased a few months ago. It's got a super cool cover! The story is ok but not as good as I had hoped but still, this looks too cool for school!

 

Anyway, I'm going to grade for fun and would love your opinion! (thumbs u

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pages appear whiter than in this picture. Lighting is from a lamp in a dark room. Great for determining gloss loss but not so much for taking pictures of interior pages. The pages are off white brighter than in this picture.

9.2/9.4? :shrug: It's a tough one.

I see nothing that would keep it from a 9.2, unless that is a crease on the LLFC...

unless that is a crease on the LLFC...

 

Do you meant this? ->

 

 

It is not a crease. The book dips down there from top to bottom. The color is not broken and the dip is rounded not sharp. To my n00b eye it just looks like the spine is rounded and thus thicker than the rest of the cover. So the paper naturally bent toward the flat part.

 

Here is another angle.

 

 

My biggest concern is the minor soiling on the cover.

[marvelcollector]

Yes, that was what I meant.

 

I think you're ok for a 9.2 (thumbs u

Even with the stains?

 

I can't for my overstreet price guide to get here!

What do the pages look like?

[marvelcollector]

I'm not seeing the stains...

I'm not seeing the stains...

 

 

You can see them in the reflection of the light below. Inside the H and above the R.

Well played.
