krighton Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Fatale, Saga, all had pretty common and prominent bindery tears and no worries at all getting a 9.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicsnyc22 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Maybe I just got lucky, but the copies i had were really minty. No Saga-like bindery tears, clean edges, sharp, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) i'd have to see a photo of those corners....I've gone through 50 copies and they had some sort of tuft on the corners. Edited April 2, 2013 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaseman210 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hmmm...that sounds promising. There was that had a slight spine tick in the top left, but that was my extra copy for a reader. I might have to pick out the best one and sub it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebSlinger Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Maybe I just got lucky, but the copies i had were really minty. No Saga-like bindery tears, clean edges, sharp, etc. Me too, I only got 10 but 9 were very minty and one had some black smug on the front, but no tears.

I'd give photos, but they're all at CGC getting graded I've only had 2 fluke 9.6 submissions with my moderns, and I'm too smart to hope for a 9.9, but they seriously were flawless. I even put back a bunch that were most likely 9.8's because I found so many that were easy locks. These remind me of Fatale's stock, and I absolutely think there will be high grade copies.

krighton Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I've noticed the spines have some minute bits sticking out in places.....bottom left corner is a bit upturned and the top left has a bit of color loss...same as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are nothing compared to the tears that were on Saga and NWM. Hell the 9.9 NWM has a bindery tear on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Saga-like bindery tears, clean edges, sharp, etc. Me too, I only got 10 but 9 were very minty and one had some black smug on the front, but no tears. Same here. I picked up a few hundred and only a few have bindery spiffs IIRC. Looks to be a super easy 9.8 book. Id say 95% of my orders look great Edited April 2, 2013 by VEI Reborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaseman210 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 With all of the 9.8s and possibly 9.9s, would it even be worth it to get graded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 With all of the 9.8s and possibly 9.9s, would it even be worth it to get graded? if people are getting Spawn 9 graded, i wouldnt sweat East of West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krighton Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 You will almost have to have them graded...it will be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaseman210 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 You will almost have to have them graded...it will be expected. So you don't think raws will increase that much? I'm not talking about a lot, but maybe $40-50 apiece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about a lot, but maybe $40-50 apiece? I think the quality has to continue, but I don't see why not considering Saga w/ a print run of nearly 40K has raws hitting $75-90. I think it's going to absolutely drop like crazy in the coming week or so as folks get their bulk orders back, but hold steady.

I'm not talking about a lot, but maybe $40-50 apiece? That would be way down the road IMO, IF the series becomes one of the most popular in the hobby over the first 10 or so issues (like Saga).
