PGM ASM 298

Here is another book that I could use some help grading. This book is flat and clean. Tight spine, staples. Interior pages are white. The book is complete.

ASM 298 Front Cover

ASM 298 Back Cover

Love the big scans

 

Top edge has 3 or 4 tiny tears above the G in AMAZING.

 

Front spine has a ding above McFARLANE 87

 

Bottom spine corner abrasion. Top spine corner has very light abrasion.

 

Top back cover has some type of damage in the 2nd E in WE'RE.

 

Back spine has 3 notable color breaking tics.

 

Perhaps 9.2 but probably 9.4

Thanks! The thing with the big scans is they hide absolutely nothing and also tend to exaggerate. The tiny tears above the G in AMAZING are less than 1/64 of an inch but they certainly do show up on the large scan. The damage you refer to on the back cover is actually a scratch on the scanner. The colour tics actually appear to be bits of colour and not tics when viewed with the naked eye yet the scan makes them appear as colour tics. I re-scanned Wolverine #1 for you as well - have a look! (But don't forget that scratch on the scanner glass as I think it shows up on Wolvie too!) Thanks for all of the input!

Cheers!

The top edge tears may be small, but I think they still take 9.8 out of the running.

 

At worst I'll still say 9.4, but 9.6 is possible. I'm positive (FWIW) that 9.8 is out.
