Another Fantastic Four (#22) to grade please

[BrianR]

Here is a second Fantastic Four from my collection. I lies perfectly flat, pages are white to off-white, no hidden defects. The scans are large because I Know its hard to grade a scan This one I am guessing 9.0 possibly higher Thanks in advance.

Give me some of that pop-corn!

 

8.5

 

That one bigger crease on the spine will push it below 9.0 I believe.

[BrianR]

Wow! not much excitement over this particular issue. It's one of my favorite due to the vibrant colors on the cover. Maybe next I'll use smaller scans so everyone can enjoy the pictures I post in the future. Thanks ACES for your input on the book.

nice book! 9.0 fer sure

[DiceX]

8.0 to 8.5

Not a 9.0, but a nice looking book.

8.0

[Foolkiller]

somewhere in the 8.5 range. depending on surface wear and the like you could see an 8.0... a 9.0 is a bit generous given that one crease, but the truth is, I've seen much, much worse graded 9.0 or advertised by "major" dealers as 9.0s. actually, now that I look at it again, there seems to be multiple stresses along that spine so definitely not a 9.0.

I think 8.5 also. I have an 8.0 that has 2 or 3 creases like that, but the rest of the book is perfect.

Is that an edge tear on the right edge in the green banner?

 

I would give this book an 8.0. It's a beautiful 8.0 that I believe would present better than many 8.0s though. Those corners are stunning. It's the spine wear and back cover surface wear that pulls it out of VF/NM in my opinion.

[Rocketeer]

Pretty much in the same boat with every one else on this..8.0/8.5....hopefuly the rest pf the book will make up for that one heavy stress and it will go 8.5...cause the corners are really nice...

No it just scanner dirt that showed up on the pic. The gloss on the book is unbelievable and hold it off to the side shows no visible signs of handling.

 

Thanks for everyone's input on the book

i think an 8.5 is a pretty good bet. if the back cover cleaned up a bit and the spine looks better in normal size, maybe a 9.0 on a good day.........

[FFB]

Ah, I see. Well if that isn't a tear on the right edge, then I'm going to say 8.5. What a nice looking book!!!

8.5

[namisgr]

I'm in the 8.5 camp. From my experience, it is rare for CGC to top that grade with the two significant spine stresses on this book.

 

It's a really nice copy.
