Greetings,

 

This is a comic out of decades-long deep storage. Can you please grade it?

 

Thanks,

BCB

Welcome to the boards!

 

Key condition items:

- Large amount of creasing

- looks like a sine tear at the top down to the top staple.

- dust shadow on the back spine edge

- few short tears on back cover along reading edge

 

I say somewhere in the 3.5 VG- to 3.0 GD/VG range assuming that the staples & centerfold are are intact and there's no other non-visible spine splits.

 

If the image hasn't been modified those are nice cover colors!

3.5... Is the color saturation we're seeing on these books accurate, or is it blown out a bit on the scan? It looks enhanced, to me, but maybe it's just my monitor...

It's over-pumped - so much so that the reds are on fire!

I can't disagree on the 3.5 grade here...looks about right to me.

Thanks, everyone, for the feedback.

 

I scanned everything at 600 DPI on a Canon Pixma MP980 and uploaded to Photobucket. I didn't manipulate the colors, but they do look vivid. But so do the flaws!

3.5+ very small chance at 4.0
