Hey, everybody -- I'm de-lurking again to show off my latest PCH book.

 

This is a deslabbed 8.5 with OW/W pages. There's Matt Baker Seven Seas reprint story inside.

 

(I'm also testing out a new scanner -- still fiddling with it. I scanned the book in the mylar, which is making it look a little fuzzy, to me anyway.)

I thought maybe the girl on the cover was a swipe, anybody know for sure?

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. :foryou:

 

Back cover:

Got the grader notes back the ONLY note is:

 

"Whole book tanning."

 

No tears, no stains, no rust, no crease, no ding dents scrapes or scuffs.

 

Thoughts on a re-sub?

It's a swipe of a Prize comic http://www.comics.org/issue/3905/cover/4/

I've seen this before - it is quite consistent with CGC grading. I had a Voodoo #19 which looked 9.0 or better in the holder, with blazing colors and 100% gloss, hammered down to 6.5 because interior covers were tanning.
