Guess the Grade -Part III

[sfilosa]

Last but not least.

 

Has a date stamp on back cover. No other defects.

7.5

[kryptonitecomics]

9.2 - 9.4.....scan isn't very big so I can't tell if those are stress lines on the spine or not. If they are then I would probably say a 7.5 - 8.0 as well.

[rjpb]

Depending on the severity of the stress lines on the spine and the page quality, at least 9.0

 

 

 

 

That cover is just so damn gorgeous in both condition and design that it gets an automatic .2 bump - at least 9.2

[FFB]

9.0 to 9.2. Hard to see how bad those spine stresses look up close. Gorgeous book though.

[sfilosa]

The spine stress actually look better in person. They also hardly break any color.

 

Hint: Look how sharp the corners are and even though the overhang bends a touch in the middle, there is zero color break.

 

No correct answer so far.

[Foolkiller]

again, I'm betting too low on all these books... 9.4 ?

[Marvelous]

9.2 to 9.4

[FFB]

OK then, 9.4. That's my final offer.

I thought the book was a 9.6, with no chance of being anything other than a 9.6.

 

It's a 9.6 with Off-White to White pages (ties for highest CGC).

 

Unfortunately, I also have known for the past decade that it was the nicest Silver-Age book in my collection. So I probably don't have anymore ungraded 9.6's.

[FFB]

Congrats, Steve. I have a hard time agreeing with a 9.6 because of the multiple spine stresses I can see, but it's really a pretty book regardless. The cover inks are stunningly vivid and I'd rather have cover inks that look like that than have a book that is duller but has a perfect spine.

This one...a 9.4. Yeah, it's got a few things, but it's old and that will help.... a lot.

Thanks for letting us play....Can't wait to see what they come in at.

I've already given the answers.

 

This was a 9.6.

 

Read the other ones for the answers (you got one right and were too low on the first one).
