BATMAN #1 - NEW 52 - GRADE IS IN!

[Wall-Crawler]

Last one for the night...THANKS!

 

FRONT

 

 

BACK

 

[JollyComics]

The front cover looked fine to me but the back cover may deceive my eyes.

 

The back cover may fool me. I don't know if that was a loss of color or abrasion on the left top corner. It may be on the print. Also, I do see the weird bending on the right top corner that may be on the print.

 

Along the edge, it looked like the loss of color but I don't know if it is part on the print.

 

I never had this copy in my hand before.

 

If all defects-look-like are on the print, it deceived my eyes. Then it should be a nice eye fooling back cover without any significant defects.

 

You have it in your hands, do tell me now.

it's the printing of the book....all of them have it I'm pretty sure...9.6

[Wall-Crawler]

It is the printing of the book...Made to look "totally 80's..."

[MR SigS]

At least 9.6

[Hado]

Nice sharp looking copy, 9.6/9.8 the lower if they hold the lower left corner against you.

[Iceman399]

Is there not a couple of spine ticks on the front cover right where the brown turns to the black and about 1/2" lower.

[Crimebuster]

Man, I dislike that Batman logo.

[Glynn Sr]

got 9.6 written all over it.

[Diamonddave]

I'm thinking 9.6 as well, that lower left corner shows a bit of rounding.

[JollyComics]

All comments above, I go with them for 9.6.

[Mmanick]

So hard to tell a 9.4 to 9.8 sometimes I'll go with a 9.6 as well.
