Thanks!

I want to say 7.0 because of the amount of spine stress that I see. If not for the number of spine ticks I think this could have graded quite a bit higher! Nice book regardless! (thumbs u

7.5

[southerncross]

I'm at 7.5 also

[Wall-Crawler]

I'm going to go 7.0

 

LOTS of spine ticks, blunted corners, edge and spine wear...On the back cover, is that a slight stain I see by the corner on the left or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

 

Can never go wrong with an ASM #129 though...No I won't show mine this time...

[jsilverjanet]

no stain on the back - definitely a lot of spine ticks on the back cover

7.5 - FC presents real nice!

[ROBTOTHEC]

Can you confirm those are two creases on the Punishers right arm, one right against

the spine the other part way in? If they are are they into to yellow at all also?

If so I am thinking with that and the number of spine creases 6.5. Otherwise 7.0.

[jsilverjanet]

crease does go into the yellow but does not break color

6.5

Personally I would not buy it above 6.5, but the rest of the book is nice.

one of the things I've determined is that my scanner is making my books looks a bit worse than they really are. need to invest in a better scanner as the book definitely presents better in hand and I think a press would help significantly.

Are you re-sizing them after scanning? Many scanners have software that automatically compress the image. Most of the photo host sites do as well. Compression reduces image quality.

[jsilverjanet]

No I'm not. No software after the scan, no image manipulation

 

It's an average scanner on a 3 in one model.

[vaillant]

Images, if saved in JPG or other lossy formats, are always compressed, but what matters mostly is the actual, optical quality of the scanner.

 

The scans from jsilverjanet's scanner look good, I don’t think they magnify defects so much…
