My copy.

 

One of the best 9.0's you will see for this book. Comic looks like a solid 9.4 and if you could hold it into your hands, you would wonder why it got only a 9.0. I called for the CGC notes a few years ago (when it was free :cloud9: ) and the only notes were: store stamp on back cover and light rust on staples. I usually hate rust on staples but on this one it is really not obvious, maybe because of the black cover.

 

I love this copy :cloud9:

Wow, that is a beauty. Sure does rival my 9.2 & 9.4 . Did they mean light rust as in patina? Or was it actual rust. Because they don't look rusty to me. (worship)

It is light rust, the staple is not completely rusted. The kind of rust that you could remove if you could clean the staple with WD40 but that would damage the paper.

 

I personally agree that store stamp, date stamp, arrival date and any kind of writing on covers should downgrade a book and CGC in that period was thinking the same but I know that it is not the case anymore as you can see stamps/writing on some books graded 9.6 by CGC. Except for the little blunt on the lower left corner, the other corners are sharp and the spine is almost flawless. A straight resub on this HOS should get a higher grade but I hate the new slabs and this one will not be for sale anyway, would rather prefer it raw than in a new slab.
