Do the Tomb Raiders/Witchblades have a good shot at getting 9.8's if submitted?

 

Which Tomb Raiders in particular?

 

Without taking them from the bag...

 

Witchblade 86 looks sweet everywhere except for a tiny line (it's not quite spine stress; almost looks like a wrinkle; non-color breaking) just below the midpoint on the FC.

 

Witchblade 87 looks untouched, but there looks to be two color flecks, one near the spine corner FC and one on the lower right corner FC.

 

For these two, I've seen worse get a 9.8, but I've also seen 9.6s look this good.

 

As for the TRs, I know Journeys #1 has a few non-color breaking spine stresses. In the entire lot of TRs, I'd say you'd get at least a few 9.8s.

Time to go eat dinner...I'll be back later. Feel free to post (or PM) questions. I can scan a few specific issues if anyone needs 'em.

All of them

 

It is just that I have all of these already, but if you think that quite a few of the TR's could have a good shot at 9.8's I would like to upgrade on what I have got.

I'll scrutinize 'em this evening. I tend to think that even one color fleck with drop a book to 9.6, but I've got several 9.8s with a couple of "problems" with them. But yeah, I'll give you a detailed report shortly...

 

 

 

 

Oh, and that's all the books I've got, so if anyone is hanging around hoping for more, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

[bryan91]

Thanks I'll keep a look out for an update.

[Reno McCoy]

I wish I knew more about grading. :doh: When books are the NM or better category, I tend to just group them all together. But here are the ones that might get a 9.8:

 

33: Maybe. There's a bit of white in the upper right corner. Not a rub, not a bindery tear, and not a "fleck" that you see below.

43: White "fleck" (see below).

44: I see nothing wrong with this one.

45: Ever so slight rubbing on lower spine corner. I've seen worse rubs on a 9.8 copper.

46-50: White "fleck" at top or bottom spine corner.

 

Essentially, issues 43 and 46-50 look great with brights colors, great spines, sharp corners. However, there's a tiny bit of white showing on the top or bottom spine corner. Not exactly a bindery tear from what I understand a bindery tear to be. But not corner rubbing either.

 

For what it's worth, being moderns, I'd assume that these tiny flecks would keep these from being 9.8s. With that said, I compared these to some copper 9.8s I have, and these Tomb Raider "flecks" are no worse then what I see on 2-3 of the coppers.

 

Sorry I can't give you definite grades. But at $2 a book, maybe it's worth the risk?
