What do you think?

[Rocketeer]

That LLC rippling brings it down,....6.0....

[kryptonitecomics]

I might go a 6.5, but that's being generious.

What ever that means.

ouch!! didn't you ever hit an extra key??

 

i guess after seeing what CGC did to a few of my books with somwhat similar defects, i'd have to agree that despite it's beauty, this book would only fetch 6.0 - 6.5. that blunt LLC with associated rippling up the spine are the main culprits.

Funny, funny...fortunately I don't cansider that a flam since I conseder myselve one of the batter spelers on this bord ....but................my typing skills leave a lot to be desired

If I type correctly, that's an unusual event.

 

By the way, what about the upper right corner crease? ouch. What is the rippling caused by? Water damage or ..?

[FFB]

Back cover scan please? Also, please clarify what is wrong with the bottom edge. Water damage?

[Dave_Hennen]

Ouch, you guys are tough! If that isn't water damage on the bottom of the spine and just the binding problems you see on those big square bound books I think it's a 7 or maybe 7.5

Here is a scan of the back cover. Water damage

Just bindery creasing.

[nik]

I think I like your answer the best so far

[Mr. Zipper]

I think the 6.0 - 6.5 is a bit tough. 7.0, maybe 7.5 IMO. TTBOMK, CGC doesn't detract too much for wavyness on the squarebound spines.

Since the waviness is due to the manufacturing process, CGC shouldn't downgrade much (in any) for it. Same for the printer creases on the back cover.

 

Because it is a Bronze-Age book, I don't think it could get more than 7.5 with the corner crease.

 

I'll say 7.0.

[PUNYHUMAN]

7.0 I think That's a nice looking book even with the spine puckered!!

[uclapeterg]

6.5

[Aces]

6.0/6.5

 

I don't show any mercy for those square-bound comics!

[joe_collector]

I'm gonna join the 7.0 crowd, but I'm trying not to be too generious.

[garthgantu]

I'll generically say 7.0 as well...

 

Although a quick pressing could well bring it up to an 8.0 or better...only thing a pressing wouldn't 'fix' is that URC crease...

[FFB]

5.0.

[burntboy]

since we know that you know your stuff, what is it that you think the group has missed here?? 6.0 has been on the low side and 7-7.5 on the high.

 

personally, i think that rippling on the LRC of the back cover is as much a result of the comic being dropped on that corner as it is the result of typical square-bound printing defect.

 

5.0.
