Johnny545 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You're a man who loves his ST #28! I'll try and snap a pic of my copy soon. Very nice Witches Tales, MrIllmannered! I really love that green. You are a high grade connoisseur, to be sure. I can't get enough of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I love the ST 28 cover also, and would like to get a 4.5-7.5 range book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny545 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Aside from the miscut at the top front cover of the ST 28, the book is a 7.5-8.0 IMO. I can't believe the grade it got. Anyone have an understanding of the impact of a mis cut on grade? Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Mentallo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Aside from the miscut at the top front cover of the ST 28, the book is a 7.5-8.0 IMO. I can't believe the grade it got. Anyone have an understanding of the impact of a mis cut on grade? Johnny Probably no impact. Stains, staple issues or poor paper quality might. And even tiny corners off or color breaking creases could be hammered on a bad day. Might be worth a resub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the grader notes (haven't got them yet) hoping for some clue. There are really no CBC I can see and the corners look really, really good.

Mr.Illmannered Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Def check grader notes...but that does appear nicer than a 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Aside from the miscut at the top front cover of the ST 28, the book is a 7.5-8.0 IMO. I can't believe the grade it got. Anyone have an understanding of the impact of a mis cut on grade? Johnny I haven't seen CGC's grader notes, but I doubt that the miswrap came into play. However, I do see moderate tanning to the top and right edges of the front cover, some color flaking along the bottom edge of the front cover, and possibly small horizontal tears at the bottom staple. Then there are the three as yet unseen elements: the back cover, the inside covers (which probably have some degree of tanning), and the interior pages. It's a fine book, for sure. (thumbs u But based on what I've seen so far, I'm not ready to conclude that the Sarasota crew missed the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny545 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Here is a better pic. More confused by grade then ever...I pulled out all my other GA books from 1951-1955 graded 5.5-7.0, this blows them all away. [/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmyst Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 pretty darn nice for a 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny545 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I know right. I was comparing it against some Marvel Tales I have in the 6.5 range, they look like a mess compared to the ST 28. Anyway, still waiting on notes, update tomorrow. Im guessing tanning, page quality...something...anything to explain why I shouldn't spend the money to resub.

Artboy99 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I am willing to bet it is staining on interior somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
