Dear Gator,

 

How can you tell the difference between an original superman 1, and the later reprints/editions that are near identical to it?

There are many tell tell signs.

Back cover has black cut out lines

Space between header and top of cover

White space between 10c price point

Number of staples

Size and paper type

Etc

Gator,

 

I received a book that I purchased raw (but can still return) that has a ghost image of Chilling Tales #8 on the back cover (faint oils & inks). I purchased the book as a 9.0, and the front cover looks close to that range. How much would CGC knock off for that particular defect?

PS - Here's a scan of the back cover. The image/stain is more apparent in hand, but you can still make it out.

A transfer stain has generally resulted in a 1-2 pt deduction from cgc (depending on severity) Not as bad as moisture but a "defect" nonetheless

Do me a favour: Dont do this aspartame thing. Ordinary sugar will do it for you just fine. ASpartame = (tsk)
