another one i'm having trouble with because of the 1/2" rip below the word marvel lower left front cover

I don't see a rip. Looks like an 8.5 or 9.0 without it. With the rip you describe, I would say 5.5.

With the rip I'm 6.5/7.0 but a gorgeous looking book for the grade.

I see the word Marvel 3 times on the cover but I see no rip??? That looks like an easy 8.5 to me.

6.5

I was doubting myself , so i actually went back and checked the book.. For whatever reason the scan didnt pick it up. It's there though. underneath the word marvel in the purple text box lower left corner. so just assume its there and i'll try to get a better scan of it up when i'm near the scaner again. Thanks all

Impossible to grade - we can't see the damage.

You can't just 'imagine' it !

I finally see it. I moved my laptop monitor almost all the way down so that the screen looked dark and was able to see the tear. (You have to look at it from a big angle). IMO its not a real bad defect that would bring the grade way down just because of its existence like a water stain would. It has to be a 6.5 at least. The rest of the book is just too good to go lower than that.

here is a higher DPI image. The rip is under the word "age" more accurately. It is visible if you can enlarge the view on your computer. best i could do, just spent a 1/2 hour trying to edit in photo bucket, but alas I was stone walled.

I have tried editing in photobucket too and never achieve what i'm looking for. But the easiest way I have found to see it on a laptop that is, is by looking at the bottom then pushing the monitor way forward and it then becomes visible.

Or maybe it's like magic eye and you have to un-focus your eyes to see it in 3-D?

Sure you can, see the book and then factor in a half inch tear where described.

I'm envious of your copy. Mine isn't near that good looking!!

 

W/o tear, easy 8.5! With tear, 6.5! Not sure I would want to grade that one. The big number on top would be depressing to me. It presents much higher than what it's going to receive.
